When our sweet 16 yr old kitty was at deaths door, we had planned to go to another cremation facility in the area that had very compassionately and respectfully processed our beloved 11 yr old dog. When our kitty died suddenly on 7/18/25 we were simply too emotionally distraught to bring him to the facility of our choosing, so our vet sympathetically said she would take care of his cremation process and that it would be done with Rest Haven (RH). Since we trust our vet implicitly, we didn't question it. The first cremation facility that meticulously presided over or dog in April, took AMAZING care her. We were so impressed with their handling of her from the moment they received her, until we brought her home. It was apparent how much they honored us (and her) in the care of her. When we opened the gift bag that contained her remains, we found the loveliest, professionally printed envelope and inside was not only her cremation certificate, but a beautiful Rainbow Bridge insert on one side, and info about the facility on the opposite side. Our girl's ashes were in a high-quality, solid Mohagany "Tree of Life" urn box that was not cheap or chinsy in any way. Her name beautifully printed on the bottom of the box as well. Inside, her remains were tightly sealed in a thick polyethylene bag and then delicately placed in a silk bag. It was so thoughtfully done and with very clear sensitivity to us and our beloved girl. We expected and hoped for the same experience (or something close) with RH when we picked up our cat Simba's remains. Unfortunately, that was NOT the case. The RH 'certificate of cremation' for our beloved boy was basically printed on inexpensive paper, his name and my name printed so tiny it's difficult to read, there was no ID #...and the certificate was not even centered on the sheet. The written information on the 'Resthaven Pet Services Statement' was haphazardly filled out and barely legible. The box that his remains are in is inferior in quality and craftsmanship - cheap/flimsy. On the bottom of the box, a barely legible printed piece of paper was glued on. It is evident the printer was quite low on ink. And the "Made in Thailand" sticker was upside down - It simply should've been removed. Upon opening the box, it felt like our boy was just 'another number' and one of many pets they processed - his name scribbled on the ziploc baggy, as well as the word 'Knoxville' - obviously they wanted to make sure it was going to go back to the correct clinic. Very sad and disappointed that RH provided nowhere near the same level of thought, care, or sensitivity of our beloved cat as was our dog at this other cremation provider. RH's handling of our boy feels thoughtless and perfunctory. Maybe because they process so many animals - it has become 'just a business'. Somehow, they've forgotten how important these babies are to their families. The disappointing thing is both cremation places charge almost the same price...actually, RH is slightly more expensive - but that was not evident in what we received. I called RH 7/24/25 and spoke w/a woman - she seemed hurried and frazzled. I told her that I was disappointed and explained the details above. She said she would call me back in 20 min. She never called back. I called the other cremation provider that took care of our dog in April. I apologized to her about the mix-up and that even though they were expecting to process Simba, that he'd been sent to Rest Haven. I expressed my heartfelt disappointment that they didn't process Simba's remains because they had done such a loving and phenomenal job with our beloved dog. I explained the difference with what we experienced with Rest Haven. I assured her that we would ONLY be using their services going forward - as we have another cat in failing health. To show the level of compassion and sensitivity, the Mgr of this other facility offered for me to bring Simba's remains to her and that she would personally create a special cremation certificate, assign him an actual ID and place his ashes in a similar packaging with a silk bag. Even though they didn't cremate him, THEY unhesitatingly wanted to make it right for us and give us a more positive outcome following the death of our sweet boy. They TRULY understand how important it is. Two very different experiences in just 3 months - from two very different cremation providers. With the way that RH so casually handled our beloved Simba, in such a cursory way - we honestly have no idea if he even had an individual cremation, if we actually have ONLY our Simba, or if he was processed in a communal setting and we just have the equivalent of his weight in random ashes. All it takes is one bad experience to make a lasting impression, especially with something so deeply personal and delicate in nature. We simply cannot recommend Rest Haven.

NOT what I want to hear even though I knew it was going to happen. I picked up my pet and there is neither a hair trimming nor a print. People in this industry should only be in it if they can show compassion towards their grieving customers. I would not use this business or recommend it to anyone.

I was told that my dog WOULD NOT be allowed in "group play" being that he is over 7 months and not neutered. I took him to the vet to get the vaccinations required to be at daycare. At first I was happy to hear that an accommodation could be made for my dog to interact with humans and get out for some potty breaks. I only needed 3 hours to take an exam. I brought in his breakfast and came back 3 hours later to get my dog. When I walked in his food was still out in the lobby.... The employee or owner (unsure) who greeted me asked who I was there to pick up. I told her my dog's name and she said "wow he hasn't been here very long. I haven't gotten a chance to meet him yet." I thought that was bizarre... then what was he doing? 2 days later I received his "report card" which included the photo I posted below. My dog was in fact in group play. Not only could he have gotten another dog pregnant... he came home with kennel cough. Another vet bill later he is okay.... But still. What on earth are they doing in there? How many other "accommodations" are they making that aren't kept?? Maybe another dog didn't need to get a bordetella vaccination and that's how mine came home with it? I don't know but a 30$ stay for 3 hours (including the price to just make an account) plus over $300 in vet bills later. I'm not happy and would never recommend this facility to someone. I truly hope no one came home with puppies because I know that is a lot more than $300. PSA if your dog stayed here on July 14, 2025 they may also have kennel cough or be pregnant.
