I still cannot believe I'm writing this, honestly. Feels like a bad dream…read more I had to put down my beloved friend last week. I had to contact Faithful Friends for the cremation and urn. I worked with Brent specifically. He was very compassionate and he answered back almost immediately. He even let me contact him via text to check in on when my baby would be ready. I was treated with a lot of empathy by him. He got King to me as quickly as he could. Feels good to have him home. Brent was able to keep some of Kings ashes out in a bag for me so that I can scatter them and keep them on me. They have a selection of urns that will work for your pet. I got the Midnight Princess Urn with Swarovski for King. It says his name on the side. I would also recommend getting paw prints. It is actual clay that your pet put their little paw in. I cried when I got that. I saved a bit of fur as well. I also got the blanket he was wrapped in back. They're reasonably priced. Much of this was covered by my pet insurance as well. Working with Faithful Friends made a horrible time monumentally softer on my heart. I will miss my pet so much, I already do. I'm glad I have him back with me so I can continue to grieve him. Thank you Brent and Faithful Friends.

We had a hard decision to make to say goodbye to our dog after 14.5 years. We decided to say…read moregoodbye to our sweet little Sophie at home with All Your Heart Vet Services, Dr. Kayleigh Mahony. This was one of the most difficult times in our lives and Kayleigh made us feel more comforted through and with the process. We decided to pick Sophie up ourselves from Atim Creek Crematory. From the phone call to let us know Sophie was ready to come home, to giving us words of comfort when we arrived to pick her up, Atim Creek was caring and professional. Thank you. Anne and George

Atim sent us an angel in the form of Dr. Kayleigh Mahony. She not only took the time to make him feel comfortable, and ensure he passed peacefully, she included our other dog and made us feel better with the decision we made. She also sent a lovely note with his paw prints afterward. Thank you Kayleigh! Will definitely go back - hopefully not too soon, though.

I had to use this service a couple of weeks ago, and - while there's no getting around the…read moreawfulness of losing your pet - they made it as comforting as possible. I wavered a lot in the course of deciding when to do it (cancelled one appointment, changed the second to a quality of life assessment which led to euthanasia), but the Paws to Rest staff were wonderfully understanding and never seemed impatient or put out by the struggles I had in deciding when to call it. From start to finish, I felt Paws to Rest was very respectful and sensitive to how hard it is to go through losing a beloved pet. Just as a word of advice, if you need the appointment to be less hurried in order to feel like it's appropriately solemn or what have you, book the quality of life assessment. I gather that the euthanasia appointments are pretty quick. They book more time for the quality of life assessments and can still do the euthanasia within the same appointment. And honestly, it just helps your peace of mind having a vet do one last look over and confirming whether it's really time.
