Rudito B.

The hardest part of being a pet owner is when the time comes to end their suffering. I'm so happy that my neighbor recommended Compassionate Care so we could let our beloved Marilu go at home, where she's comfortable and not at a vet clinic. It was such a peaceful and painless experience for Marilu and I'm forever grateful that we let her go here at home, on her favorite couch. Thank you Compassionate Care!

We are so very grateful for the staff here. From the compassion in our initial phone call to Dr Josie Gold coming to our home to help us with our beloved 16 year old Bichon Frise, Lily. The professionalism and willingness to help us on such short notice were so appreciated. Dr Josie was so sweet with not only our dog, Lily, but us as well. She put all of us at ease with the process. I called ahead to make payment over the phone so we wouldn't have to deal with that during our appointment. She was patient during the process and gave us ample time with Lily before administering any medication. She even brought special treats to keep Lily happy while she administered the initial anesthesia shot. It was a very peaceful passing, and we are so thankful we were able to help our sweet girl cross the rainbow bridge in the comfort of her home. I would highly recommend them.

Thank you Stacey C. for your kindness in such a terrible time. You were graceful and kind, I was a mess and you were not fazed. This is a job only a special person can do, and you are definitely special.

Pogi

My wife and I had to make the very difficult decision to euthanize our dog Pogi (means handsome in Tagalog). He had suffered for several years with environmental and food allergies. We had gone through several medications, food trials, home remedies and even tried different vets to find some relief for his itchy skin. We realized we were fighting a losing battle and were out of options for treatment. Pogi was in constant discomfort. We cannot recommend compassionate care enough. Pogi was so afraid of going to the vets office we just did not want him to be in distress. Dr. Josie was so sweet to him and explained clearly every step to us before it happened. I could never have a job like her's. She has a gift of compassion towards animals and we were so thankful for her. We miss Pogi very much but we are glad he finally can get some relief from the itching. We are also thankful that his final moments were spent surrounded by the people he loved most.

For me, my pets are considered family. I put a lot of time and money trying to keep the happy and healthy. In early May, we had to put down our sick cat. We had very little time to prepare for her loss as her illness was diagnosed advanced quickly. Our vet recommended Compassionate Care. Marie came to our house to help end our cat's suffering. Marie was caring, compassionate, and professional. She explained everything so even our 11-year old daughter understood and became more comfortable with each step of the way. Marie was patient and let us take as much time as we needed. I would recommend her services to anyone who has a pet that is at the end of his/her life. She is truly compassionate as the name of her company states.

Dr. McNabb came over today and she was so gentle with our 16 year old, Bella. She was respectful, caring and wonderful in every way. Despite our Maine coon kitten wanting to play with her and be part of the whole experience, she was gentle with the him too, very understanding. This was our 2nd time using Compassionate Care and I can't say enough good things about them from start to finish. You can tell they truly care.

See all

Fortunately the lack of reviews on this app didn't stop me from contacting them after learning the difference between standard cremation and Aquamation. Not only is this a less violent process it's a much better process for the environment without ANY drawbacks that I could identify. Joey the owner was truly empathetic to my situation as I spoke to him from the parking lot of Dove Lewis Pet hospital moments after I picked up my baby girl. He offered to pick Dini up from my house (and would have come to Dove Lewis if I had asked him to!) Without any additional charge! The "least expensive" cremation option given to me by Dove Lewis charges an outrageous fee of $200+ to pick up your pet! And they do traditional fire cremation. Joey met me at my house and took great care placing Dini in his van, assuring me that she would be treated with the dignity she and I deserved. Only 5 days later he let me know she was ready to come home. On Christmas Eve he delivered her ashes to me. The total cost for her individual (vs. group) Aquamation including pickup and delivery was $219! Much less than any other option I found and done with the greatest compassion and professionalism. I can't recommend them more highly! It was the bright spot in an otherwise terribly painful experience. Please do yourself and your pet a favor and contact them for any information you need to make your decision. I promise you won't regret it!

We had 17 amazing years with her and she went at home peacefully. But this made finding someone to take care of her remains difficult. Most cremation services only picked up from veterinary offices. The ones that did private care were outrageously expensive...nearing $1000 including transport. They were mostly unhelpful or outright unkind. Then I took a chance and opened the google listing for Oregon Aquamatoon. The owner himself, Joey, answered. He was kind and patient. They were so affordable by comparison and would come to our home to take Lilly. They tagged her with a metal tag that stayed with her. They put her beautiful, pure white sand remains in a lovely bamboo box with her pawprint laser etched with her name. They also gave us beautiful clippings of her fur sealed in a glass bottle. They dropped her back with us at a time that worked with my work schedule so she wouldn't be left alone. They donated her blanket to a cat rescue. I cant say enough about this company. They are heavensent. We miss our girl so much but her transition and final rest were so peaceful.

My dear heart cat passed away two years ago and I was able to get her recovered and set an appointment for cremation so she could stay with her family (as her original burial place was located at a selling house) and I could hold my baby once more. Brian answered the phone within two rings nearly every single time out of the 12 million times I called him to update him on the recovery process, ask questions, and toggle the appointment time and date. Brian was so patient, kind and accommodating during the entire process. I was able to get my kitty an appointment very promptly. Brian let me cry and ramble about my girl with no judgement, just understanding and compassion. During the intake meeting I really honestly felt that my kitty was in safe hands, with someone who knows what it's like to love an animal so much and want the care and dignity they deserve to continue on even after they cross the rainbow bridge. Your little companion has an ID disk placed with them during the entire cremation process, in order to make sure that the ashes you get back are your friend's only. So you don't have to worry about accidentally bringing home anyone else, or leaving any of your baby behind. That was a great relief to me. I was only in town for less than a week, and had to drive back to school. Brian made sure my kitty was ready to take home within that week so I would be able to return with her. That meant a lot to me. When I came to pick my kitty up, Brian had made a beautiful wooden frame memento to take along with her new lovely rosewood urn that featured my favorite picture of her. So that I could display her sweet face next to her new resting spot. The passing of an adored companion is always so painful, but being able to work with Brian on the care of my sweet girl put my heart at ease for the first time in a long while.
