During a very difficult time, I was researching multiple pet crematory services when I found the webpage for Sarasota Pet Crematory. I was impressed with the attention to details they offered explaining their services. Once I called, Scott was empathetic, professional, and walked me through the process that I was about to encounter. The level of support provided surpasses basic provider-client transactions. Scott & Priscilla, along with the entire staff were sincere and compassionate as they worked with us making us feel like family. Thank you for going out of your way to support us during our loss.

I am a few months over due writing this review but words cannot express how grateful I am for the service that was provided. We lost our dearest Chico on Father’s Day evening. I called the following morning to inquire about services and was assured he’d be provided an intimate cremation. When we brought Chico in, we knew he was being left in good hands. They were very compassionate and showed us where he was to be cremated.. we then said our final goodbyes. Sarasota pet crematory provided us with a beautiful experience right after losing a beloved part of the family. I was so impressed when we were returned his ashes as there was so much love that went into this. Not a day goes by I don’t think of him. We are beyond grateful, thank you. 🙏🏼💙✨

I experienced exceptional care at Sarasota Pet Crematory after losing my loyal companion Rex of nearly 15 years. Despite it being a day before Thanksgiving, I received prompt and compassionate service. Upon arrival, I felt assured that Rex would be in good hands. The option to request an engraved paw print for a lasting memory was a touching detail 🐾. I genuinely appreciate the empathy and care provided during this challenging time. Thank you for your services.God bless you!🙏🏻

My precious 19 year old kitty died. I’ve had old pets pass away throughout the years and this is the first time I use this service as recommended by my Vet. I am so grateful for the professionalism, the kindness, the way I received his ashes, I am so very impressed and thankful. Highly recommend.

Sadie was the most precious dog. She came as a rescue at the age of 4. Sadie was brutally burned by someone and thrown into Mississippi River. She was rescued and brought to Florida. My son and I were at Sarasota mall one day when the humane society were sponsoring an adoption clinic. My son is disabled and was looking for companionship of a dog. They found each other and it was love at first sight as she calmly sat by his wheelchair and never leaving his side. Sadie lived another 6-1/2 years with us. Her devotion, love and companionship to my son was so much more. Rest in heaven sweet Sadie Thank you to all the good people who made this burden so much easier for us as well as for Sadie to cross over. Sarasota Pet Crematory and staff were punctual in arriving to our home for the pick up of Sadie.. They were kind and compassionate and explained all details for us. Anyone who has a pet that gave their love and support for years, deserves the best. We recommend them highly. God bless Michael Lowe and Phyllis Lowe Pacilio

The staff of Sarasota Pet Crematory are the best to work with and would recommend anyone who will have a need to have their number. This is second time to use them in last two years -- very sad times but knowing our pets were treated well and having nice ways to remember them makes the experience more bareable.

My beloved gerbil Isabella passed away and I am not able to bury her where I live. I was pleasantly surprised when I found out Sarasota Pet Cremation could help.I brought Isabella in and immediately felt at peace with my decision to cremate her. Priscilla made the entire process easy and when I was able to pick Isabella up I was very grateful and happy with the results.True professionals work here and their love of our furry children is evident in what they do.Thank you for having your business in my community.

Losing one of my cats has been the hardest thing I've ever had to go through. My family buried her without my permission and I had to exhume her body 5 days later which was one of the most traumatic experiences. They answered all of my questions and were very compassionate and understanding. The process was fast which I was grateful for since it meant getting her back quickly and keeping her in the only way I could. I felt like they really took care of my baby. When another one of my cats passes(which I pray is far far away) I will be coming back here. I highly recommend.RIP my sweet girl💜

After a tragic loss of our shepherd mix a few mornings ago, I reached out to Sarasota Pet Cremetory and I am glad I did. They were so kind and gentle with our fragile hearts.They are professional and their space is very clean. Most of all we felt our girl was handled with respect and care.When you are hurting from the loss of a pet nothing makes it better in those first several days but Sarasota Pet Cremetory made sure to make it as bearable a process as possible and for that I am forever grateful.🐾🌈🐾Picture of beautiful box from SPC that our girl now rests in.

Very nice facility and very nice people. The owners and staff could not have been kinder and more caring and compassionate in handling the final care of our dog of 17 years. During our visit, another pet owner arrived and we observed the same caring and attention given to him as we received. If you go online to find the location of the facility, do NOT be put off by its business park location. This is a necessity of its operation. Inside, it is the same lovely environment as might be offered at a human facility. Every aspect of the process was handled in a polite, sensitive, and professional manner, making a very sad couple of days a lot more bearable.

Sarasota Pet Crematory handled my sweet kitty's cremation after several reschedules over time. I had prepaid for her services at a time when I thought she was within a month or 2 of passing. She had several miraculous returns and rebounds and was finally put to rest at 21.5 years old! SPC was very accommodating when I had to reschedule and never once complained , got angry or treated me or my unique situation poorly. I will absolutely use them again and am also recommending them to anyone looking for an honest and trustworthy business. Thank you again and God bless SPC, for handling my sweet girl with dignity and respect and for your everlasting patience with me over time. See you again down the road, but hopefully not too soon.

I lost my little boo bear just a couple weeks ago. He was the light of my life, he was my heart. The Way Sarasota pet Crematory treated my precious baby was more than I could have asked for. They memorialized him beautifully. It was like they knew that Teddy meant the world to me. I cried when I saw his tiny paw print so perfectly pressed. Even though I've never met the people that took care of my baby's final moments I want to thank them from the bottom of my heart.

So thankful for their services. Our oldest dog, Tehya, unexpectedly passed peacefully in her sleep one morning. She was too large for any one of us to be able to pick up and take anywhere, so we reached out to Sarasota Pet Crematory to see if they could come retrieve her. They were very helpful on the phone and quickly dispatched someone to pick her up. The employee that arrived was very kind and compassionate and made sure we had all of the information we needed. After she loaded her up on the cart we were able to say our goodbyes and she was covered with a blanket. We were contacted a couple of days later to let us know that she was ready to be picked up, the box her ashes were placed in is beautiful and getting her final little paw print was very touching. Losing a pet is so difficult, and Sarasota Pet Crematory definitely handled it with care and compassion.

This is the only pet crematory to use in Sarasota. They are the kindest and most compassionate people I have ever known.

God willing us having to do this again, this will be where we go forever. Thank you so much.

I have had three ferrets cremated here over the past few years and have nothing but praise to offer. Priscilla and Scott have been wonderful to work with, and provide very prompt and reasonably priced cremation services (I have always elected for private cremation). I've received each of my babies back with a nice wooden box, a satchel of wildflower seeds ('forever flowers'), and a folder which includes a certificate of cremation, resources for grief, and a copy of a well-known poem which is quite touching. It doesn't hurt that you are sometimes greeted by a cute (calm) dog when you walk into their building.Thank you for taking good care of my carpet sharks. I will always return if I unfortunately require your services, and recommend you to anyone else who does too.

My cat, Basia, was their 3rd pet to be cremated when they first opened their business. In the last 4 months, they cremated 3 more of my pets--their #s were in the thousands! I had a very negative experience at another crematory before meeting Scott and Priscilla. They really do treat your pet with the utmost care & dignity while offering you an abundance of compassion. If you need to have your pet cremated & your veterinarian doesn't use Sarasota Pet Crematory, just call them directly & they can make arrangements for you.

10+++ The death of your family Pet is such a hard time in any pet lovers life. It’s not like loosing a family member and you have a memorial service or get bereavement days from work. They either die naturally or you have to have them put to sleep.You have a couple moments with them before handing years of love and devotion for your pet over to a stranger, in my case private cremation. My little Maggie was with us for almost 14 years. She’s left her big sister Mace behind.From my first phone call to Scott in the early morning of Tuesday July 27th, to dropping my precious Maggie off in the afternoon at Sarasota Pet Crematory all I can say is “Thank You” so very much!!!Your compassion, caring and attention to every detail was AMAZING! It’s very rare in today’s world to find people that go above and beyond and EXCEED all expectations.Thank you and God Bless You,Heather, Matthew & Mace 💕

I cannot say enough good things about Scott and his team. Our family dog Cooper passed away at home.I called them early in the morning before they even opened thinking I could leave a message. Scott answered and explained he was headed into the office and would call me back shortly. Within minutes he called me and I was truly a mess. I was crying and he was so understanding and kind. He took all our information and again said he’d call me right back.Within minutes he called me back and told me one of his team was on their way. Within 30 minutes a very nice man (I’m so very sorry I can’t remember his name) arrived with a wagon, and blankets. He made what could have been just a heartbreaking experience easier. He handled our boy so gently and respectfully, cushioning the wagon, even putting a folded towel under his head. He gave us as much time as we needed to say our final goodbye. We picked up Cooper’s ashes and paw print today and we’re beyond pleased with the carved box and the paw print is beautiful. I know without a doubt our beloved pet was handled with love, and care. Their service was prompt, compassionate and made an incredibly sad time easier. The cost was very reasonable too. Highly recommend them.

We would like to express our sincere thanks and gratitude to Scott and Priscilla. We made the trip from New York with our aging 13 year old rescue lab. After arriving his health and quality of diminished and we knew we had to let him go. Scott recommended lovely vet for in home euthanasia to end his suffering. Sarasota pet crematorium took over with compassionate, loving care of our big boy Rocky . He was treated with dignity and professionalism to the end. Thank you for helping us get through such a heart wrenching task. Doreen and Bob Fiore.

If I could give this company a 0, I would. About five or six years ago, one of our Baby Doggies died: Little Precious. I decorated a resting place (coffin) for her; dressed her in an outfit; and included in the resting place (I don't like to use the term coffin) her favorite toys and treats. We took her up to the crematory. The gentleman who helped us was really nice; complimented me on the resting place that I had made for Little Precious. It was beautiful and she looked beautiful lying in it. He told me that I couldn't stay to watch the cremation. We received her shortly after.About a year later, one of our Baby Doggies Precious Boy was killed by a car hitting him. Feeling pleased with Sarasota Pet Crematory, we decided to turn to them again. When he came to pick up Precious Boy, I reminded him that I was the lady who had decorated a resting place (coffin) for one of our babies. He acted like he didn't even know what I was talking about. Actually, he was cold. It bothered me at the time but I didn't say anything. But I did begin to wonder just exactly what happened to the resting place (coffin) we had developed for Little Precious and what happened to all the things that we sent with her and to her clothes. It was just his cold attitude as if he didn't even know who I was or what I was talking about. It was strange given how he was so fascinated and amazed at how I had developed our Babies resting place.I left Sarasota shortly and didn't think anything about it until tonight...the evening before my brother is to have his celebration viewing service and cremation on Saturday. As I prepared things to travel with him, I kept asking myself: Will these things he be included in his cremation? Two years later when or if I one of us run into the person who cremated our brother will they even know who we are or will they treat us as cold as the individual at Sarasota Pet Crematory did.One other thing that I would like to add is that he told me that I couldn't stay and watch the cremation. However, later I found out that Crematories actually encourage people to stay and attend the cremation and to even participate ... it helps with closure.

I just had to put my devoted cat Jen Jen down on March 28, 2016. She was my shadow and I was her caregiver. Scott and Priscilla made the process of cremation an easy choice and they were very compassionate, They went the extra mile and waited for me to bring my Jen Jen to them and the cremation was done the next day. The cost was reasonable with no surprises. I would recommend their service to any grieving pet owner.Thank you Scott and Priscilla for a job well done.

Care and compassion when you need it.We lost our 14 year old cat Halo this weekend, and brought her to the Sarasota Pet Cemetery for private cremation.Priscilla and Scott were excellent, they were respectful and kind, returned Halo to us in a charming box with a certificate and wildflower seeds to remember her by.Losing a pet is very hard, but it was made easier by the dignity shown by these folks.

He explained all my options and gave us choices. When my husband and I arrived at the Crematorium we were treated with utmost respect and we were walked through the entire process of a private cremation explaining the Identification tags thru picking Bella’s Urn.

After only two days in our new home my beloved partner and friend for 13 years, Jake, past away early on a Sunday morning. Not knowing a soul my prayers were answered by Scott and Priscilla. Meeting them both and seeing the care and dignity they bestowed Jake left me at ease knowing he was in caring hands. They afforded me the time to grieve and the support I needed to move forward. The process, handling and presentation of his remains was impeccable. He will always be with me and memory of his process left me with peace of mind and soul. Thank you Both.

We recently put down our dog who had been fighting cancer for the past five years. I had never seen any of my dogs physically pass away until our last dog recently could no longer fight her skin/bone cancer she’s had since we got her. My mom had to make the call to get her put down because she was just so weak.then we call The pet crematory people they had asked how much she weighed when my mom called they knew she weighed 50+pounds and she told them that on the phone when they asked. The doctors were very sweet and gentle with my dog when she passed but when the pet crematory guy showed up they had an older man who didn’t even weigh much at all come to get my dog knowing that he wouldn’t be able to carry her when they could’ve had one more person assist him because she’s heavy. It was hard to watch him put her in a wheel barrow and just hauled her off like it was nothing everything was rushed and the guy kept making jokes when we had literally just put our dog down being insensitive to the situation. I don’t like how it was handled. And I hope people keep this in mind if they have larger sized pets because the company didn’t even care about how much she weighed and I still have the image of her lifeless body tossed in there. So this was all around a bad experience with them. They knew better than to send one small person for a very big dog

This has been a really hard week on my fiancé and me. Losing a pet is heart-wrenching. I just want to say that the folks at Sarasota Pet Crematory made it so much easier on us. Bringing our little one over there was reeeeeally difficult on me, but they made it so much easier and they were so kind during the process. Our little’s ashes were in a pretty wooden box when I picked them up this morning, and also came with wildflower seeds and a nice certificate. They also offer making a little impression of your animal’s paw in plaster (I think it’s plaster ) which brought tears to my eyes. Never had to do this before, so I had no idea what I was doing three days ago but they helped to make everything feel calmer. Many many thanks. 💕

After my pet passed a few days ago I had a problem with Belspar oaks and decided to try Sarasota pet crematory. This is after doing buisness will belspar once before. I am so glad I came here and I will use them for all of my pets from now on. They were very polite and understanding over the phone right off the bat. I was quoted a price for a private cremation wich was decent but well worth it. They cremated my pet overnight with box urn and name plate. I was completely shocked they did it in 24 hours. They were very compassionate and gave me a cremation certificate with his number that it was truely him and only him in the box. Also just similar as in a human cremation when you drop your pet off they give it a metal tag with your name, their name and a cremation number. That tag goes with them throughout the whole process and eventually ends up in the box with them. This proves that they care about you and your animal. Very comforting inside the waiting room and they are a family run buisness. Trust me after being there with my pet, you realize that some people really still do care about you and have compassion about a loss.

Due to the nature of their business I am not looking forward to my next visit, but when the inevitable happens I will only call them!

Scott and Priscilla are precious people who have a heart for pets and the grieving process. Not only are the rates reasonable but when you pick up your pets ashes, they have some sweet, well thought out gifts for you. It's a class act - hugs and all. Thank you Scott and Priscilla.

I have had three ferrets cremated here over the past few years and have nothing but praise to offer. Priscilla and Scott have been wonderful to work with, and provide very prompt and reasonably priced cremation services (I have always elected for private cremation). I've received each of my babies back with a nice wooden box, a satchel of wildflower seeds ('forever flowers'), and a folder which includes a certificate of cremation, resources for grief, and a copy of a well-known poem which is quite touching. It doesn't hurt that you are sometimes greeted by a cute (calm) dog when you walk into their building.Thank you for taking good care of my carpet sharks. I will always return if I unfortunately require your services, and recommend you to anyone else who does too.

My cat, Basia, was their 3rd pet to be cremated when they first opened their business. In the last 4 months, they cremated 3 more of my pets--their #s were in the thousands! I had a very negative experience at another crematory before meeting Scott and Priscilla. They really do treat your pet with the utmost care & dignity while offering you an abundance of compassion. If you need to have your pet cremated & your veterinarian doesn't use Sarasota Pet Crematory, just call them directly & they can make arrangements for you.

10+++ The death of your family Pet is such a hard time in any pet lovers life. It’s not like loosing a family member and you have a memorial service or get bereavement days from work. They either die naturally or you have to have them put to sleep.You have a couple moments with them before handing years of love and devotion for your pet over to a stranger, in my case private cremation. My little Maggie was with us for almost 14 years. She’s left her big sister Mace behind.From my first phone call to Scott in the early morning of Tuesday July 27th, to dropping my precious Maggie off in the afternoon at Sarasota Pet Crematory all I can say is “Thank You” so very much!!!Your compassion, caring and attention to every detail was AMAZING! It’s very rare in today’s world to find people that go above and beyond and EXCEED all expectations.Thank you and God Bless You,Heather, Matthew & Mace 💕

I cannot say enough good things about Scott and his team. Our family dog Cooper passed away at home.I called them early in the morning before they even opened thinking I could leave a message. Scott answered and explained he was headed into the office and would call me back shortly. Within minutes he called me and I was truly a mess. I was crying and he was so understanding and kind. He took all our information and again said he’d call me right back.Within minutes he called me back and told me one of his team was on their way. Within 30 minutes a very nice man (I’m so very sorry I can’t remember his name) arrived with a wagon, and blankets. He made what could have been just a heartbreaking experience easier. He handled our boy so gently and respectfully, cushioning the wagon, even putting a folded towel under his head. He gave us as much time as we needed to say our final goodbye. We picked up Cooper’s ashes and paw print today and we’re beyond pleased with the carved box and the paw print is beautiful. I know without a doubt our beloved pet was handled with love, and care. Their service was prompt, compassionate and made an incredibly sad time easier. The cost was very reasonable too. Highly recommend them.

We would like to express our sincere thanks and gratitude to Scott and Priscilla. We made the trip from New York with our aging 13 year old rescue lab. After arriving his health and quality of diminished and we knew we had to let him go. Scott recommended lovely vet for in home euthanasia to end his suffering. Sarasota pet crematorium took over with compassionate, loving care of our big boy Rocky . He was treated with dignity and professionalism to the end. Thank you for helping us get through such a heart wrenching task. Doreen and Bob Fiore.

Losing our dear girl Palin was devastating for Dan and I. Scott and Priscilla were kind, compassionate and caring during our time of sorrow and made a difficult day much easier. Scott and his assistant treated my girl gently and with dignity and respect. Truly wonderful people that you can trust with your most beloved pets.

If I could give this company a 0, I would. About five or six years ago, one of our Baby Doggies died: Little Precious. I decorated a resting place (coffin) for her; dressed her in an outfit; and included in the resting place (I don't like to use the term coffin) her favorite toys and treats. We took her up to the crematory. The gentleman who helped us was really nice; complimented me on the resting place that I had made for Little Precious. It was beautiful and she looked beautiful lying in it. He told me that I couldn't stay to watch the cremation. We received her shortly after.About a year later, one of our Baby Doggies Precious Boy was killed by a car hitting him. Feeling pleased with Sarasota Pet Crematory, we decided to turn to them again. When he came to pick up Precious Boy, I reminded him that I was the lady who had decorated a resting place (coffin) for one of our babies. He acted like he didn't even know what I was talking about. Actually, he was cold. It bothered me at the time but I didn't say anything. But I did begin to wonder just exactly what happened to the resting place (coffin) we had developed for Little Precious and what happened to all the things that we sent with her and to her clothes. It was just his cold attitude as if he didn't even know who I was or what I was talking about. It was strange given how he was so fascinated and amazed at how I had developed our Babies resting place.I left Sarasota shortly and didn't think anything about it until tonight...the evening before my brother is to have his celebration viewing service and cremation on Saturday. As I prepared things to travel with him, I kept asking myself: Will these things he be included in his cremation? Two years later when or if I one of us run into the person who cremated our brother will they even know who we are or will they treat us as cold as the individual at Sarasota Pet Crematory did.One other thing that I would like to add is that he told me that I couldn't stay and watch the cremation. However, later I found out that Crematories actually encourage people to stay and attend the cremation and to even participate ... it helps with closure.

I just had to put my devoted cat Jen Jen down on March 28, 2016. She was my shadow and I was her caregiver. Scott and Priscilla made the process of cremation an easy choice and they were very compassionate, They went the extra mile and waited for me to bring my Jen Jen to them and the cremation was done the next day. The cost was reasonable with no surprises. I would recommend their service to any grieving pet owner.Thank you Scott and Priscilla for a job well done.

Care and compassion when you need it.We lost our 14 year old cat Halo this weekend, and brought her to the Sarasota Pet Cemetery for private cremation.Priscilla and Scott were excellent, they were respectful and kind, returned Halo to us in a charming box with a certificate and wildflower seeds to remember her by.Losing a pet is very hard, but it was made easier by the dignity shown by these folks.

Our beloved cat Tommy passed away suddenly on a Saturday afternoon. Despite being closed, Scott made the arrangements which made us very grateful. The whole process was handled professionally with compassion by a person who cares about animals and understands how much they mean to their families. I highly recommend Sarasota Pet Crematory.

I First talked with Scott the day before my baby died. He was sincerely helpful and informative yet sincerely compassionate talking to me about my Bella! He explained all my options and gave us choices. When my husband and I arrived at the Crematorium we were treated with utmost respect and we were walked through the entire process of a private cremation explaining the Identification tags thru picking Bella’s Urn. I have several pets and I will use them again I recommend them whole heartedly

After only two days in our new home my beloved partner and friend for 13 years, Jake, past away early on a Sunday morning. Not knowing a soul my prayers were answered by Scott and Priscilla. Meeting them both and seeing the care and dignity they bestowed Jake left me at ease knowing he was in caring hands. They afforded me the time to grieve and the support I needed to move forward. The process, handling and presentation of his remains was impeccable. He will always be with me and memory of his process left me with peace of mind and soul. Thank you Both.

Had to make the hard decision or putting my kitty down when he entered stage 4 kidney failure and I was devastated. I knew I didn't want to bury him I wanted to be able to keep him with me forever and these guys made that possible. They were so kind and helpful and compassionate. Thank you guys for making a very hard process a bit easier!

We recently put down our dog who had been fighting cancer for the past five years. I had never seen any of my dogs physically pass away until our last dog recently could no longer fight her skin/bone cancer she’s had since we got her. My mom had to make the call to get her put down because she was just so weak.then we call The pet crematory people they had asked how much she weighed when my mom called they knew she weighed 50+pounds and she told them that on the phone when they asked. The doctors were very sweet and gentle with my dog when she passed but when the pet crematory guy showed up they had an older man who didn’t even weigh much at all come to get my dog knowing that he wouldn’t be able to carry her when they could’ve had one more person assist him because she’s heavy. It was hard to watch him put her in a wheel barrow and just hauled her off like it was nothing everything was rushed and the guy kept making jokes when we had literally just put our dog down being insensitive to the situation. I don’t like how it was handled. And I hope people keep this in mind if they have larger sized pets because the company didn’t even care about how much she weighed and I still have the image of her lifeless body tossed in there. So this was all around a bad experience with them. They knew better than to send one small person for a very big dog

This has been a really hard week on my fiancé and me. Losing a pet is heart-wrenching. I just want to say that the folks at Sarasota Pet Crematory made it so much easier on us. Bringing our little one over there was reeeeeally difficult on me, but they made it so much easier and they were so kind during the process. Our little’s ashes were in a pretty wooden box when I picked them up this morning, and also came with wildflower seeds and a nice certificate. They also offer making a little impression of your animal’s paw in plaster (I think it’s plaster ) which brought tears to my eyes. Never had to do this before, so I had no idea what I was doing three days ago but they helped to make everything feel calmer. Many many thanks. 💕

Our Pug "Moose", of 12 years died on our drive to Florida for vacation. We didn't know where to go or what to do.....they did. They can help, and they will do it with grace and compassion. They helped make a very difficult time....easier. If you love your pet, and want them treated with love after death, Sarasota Pet Cremator will.

We had to say goodbye to our dog Hawkeye on Monday. I brought him to the creamatory from the vet and we were able to spend more time with him once we arrived. Everyone was very kind and I had my precious dog back with me in 48hrs.We miss him dearly, and I'm still crying...however, my mind was at ease knowing he was well taken care ofHighly recommend!

After my pet passed a few days ago I had a problem with Belspar oaks and decided to try Sarasota pet crematory. This is after doing buisness will belspar once before. I am so glad I came here and I will use them for all of my pets from now on. They were very polite and understanding over the phone right off the bat. I was quoted a price for a private cremation wich was decent but well worth it. They cremated my pet overnight with box urn and name plate. I was completely shocked they did it in 24 hours. They were very compassionate and gave me a cremation certificate with his number that it was truely him and only him in the box. Also just similar as in a human cremation when you drop your pet off they give it a metal tag with your name, their name and a cremation number. That tag goes with them throughout the whole process and eventually ends up in the box with them. This proves that they care about you and your animal. Very comforting inside the waiting room and they are a family run buisness. Trust me after being there with my pet, you realize that some people really still do care about you and have compassion about a loss.

My boy died in my arms on a sunday night, a 90lb german shepherd. I called them monday morning, first time using them, they were at the house within 30 minutes. Were so gentle w my guy loading him up, giving me a minute before hand. Price was very reasonable. When I picked him up they were so nice. I knew I called the right place and will call again for future needs. Highly recommend them.
