Paws for Life made sure I knew what to expect. Everyone was caring and understood how sad and upset I was. They were especially sympathetic. They treated Bailey, my dog, with utmost respect and acknowledged that he was a major part of my life. They also acknowledged how much of a loss it was for me. They moved the body so I didn't have to do extra work. Their viewing room gave me the time to say goodbye to the most loyal friend I've ever had. While nothing will lessen the pain of losing a close pet, Paws for Life made the ordeal bareable. I thank them for their help, symapthy, and support.

 I could not have asked for a better ending for my golden boy, Shadow. As a career hospice professional, I truly value a compassionate, quality end of life for all - our furry best friends are no exception. While gobbling up his final snack of chocolate peanut butter, Shadow had a peaceful, comfortable environment at the Paws for Life Memory Center. I take comfort in knowing he was happy with me at his side as he ran across the Rainbow Bridge. My sincere gratitude to the team of Dr. Kristen and Paws for Life. Although heartbreaking, my experience could not have been any better. I am hopeful more pets will experience the Paws for Life difference.

Coping with the loss of a direct family member in the past year has proven to be an exceptionally challenging time and a complex emotional journey.  The experience was unexpectedly difficult to navigate and an experience that was and is very new. The loss not only prompted a celebration of life but also a profound revisiting of cherished memories. The impact and impressions left by a family member become truly apparent only when they are no longer present to share special moments with us and our loved ones. It is crucial for us to acknowledge, celebrate, and share the experiences of our current state, cherishing the memories even after our loved ones have passed, and maintaining a deep fondness for the overall journey we shared.  I am grateful for everyone who has supported me and our family.  I can attest to the fact that it takes a community to begin the healing process.  You can never be fully prepared for the loss of a loved one so live and enjoy the ride.  Love you

This was our first time having a family pet cremated and the experience was amazing! Troy was wonderful to work with. Troy came over and pickup our our beloved guinea pig, Honey. Paws for Life took care of everything and returned Honey home.

Our young neighbor lost her cat the recently. Since it was late in the evening, she came by my house as she was not sure what to do that late in the evening. I told her to hold on and I was able to connect late in the evening after 9:00 with Paws for Life. Troy was able to come over that same evening and take the cat away and provide her comfort during a difficut time. Thanks again for the kind service provided by Paws for Life.

Paws for Life was super helpful to me when my cat passed away. They were quick and diligent when dealing with my situation making my suffering only last a very little time. They communicated everything that was going on and explained the steps I could take going forward. I appreciate them very much and would highly recommend them to anyone who needs help after a beloved pet passes away!

When we unexpectedly lost our German Shepard, Sasha on a Sunday morning we had no idea what to do. My husband found Paws for Life online and they called us back in minutes after leaving a message. They were so kind and sympathetic and drove out to our house to pick her up to be cremated. They made one of the worst days go so much easier and took so much off of us so we could grieve as a family. They kept us posted every step of the way and they created the most beautiful urn that we have to always remember our precious girl. We could not recommend Paws for Life more.

They made this difficult time more bearable and comforting. The pick up and return of our cat Kole was so appreciated and made this easier on our family. The lady who picked him up was so kind and professional.

To all:

Troy was professional, compassionate, & available when my father’s dog passed away…he promptly came to pickup our beloved pet and memorialized him on this Facebook page…Troy and Brooke were there when needed and their service is reasonably priced and available when the vet was not.

Thank You!
