Mia Mueller
Thank you so much for the care you took in helping us to memorialize our kitty Oliver. Julie was so kind on the phone calls and in person and made us feel really comfortable and cared for. They made a very difficult time a little less stressful knowing that they were taking great care of and respecting our cat. We have a beautiful memorial of our beloved fur-baby.
Kristine Joslyn
Pet Passages were beyond kind helping us when we lost our cat of nearly 17 years... having lost Tabouli the day after Christmas and was back home to us by New Years Eve. We highly recommend them to anyone who is dealing with the sadness of the lost of a beloved pet family member.

Losing my Abby after 14 years was the most difficult time of my life. She passed at 6:20 am on Oct 14th. That was 4 days after her 14th birthday. It was just her and me. I knew I wanted her cremated and I knew I needed her to be picked up. I filled out forms prior to Pet Passages even being open but got a phone call soon after they opened to arrange a pickup time. Sammy picked her up and was so kind. There was no rush for him to leave with Abby. He wanted us to take as much time as we needed to say goodbye to her. I was able to see the steps of her cremation on the site and received a very kind phone call on the 16th saying she was ready to come back home. As hard as this all was, Pet Passages was so kind and caring and helped make such a difficult time easier.

We lost our sweet Bruster at 4 years old. I knew I wanted to keep him close so I choose cremation. I selected this place based off of reviews and all the personalized items that came back home with you. I was super emotional when I dropped Bruster off and I was met with compassion and understanding. It was easy to leave Bruster In good hands. Less than 2 days later I picked Bruster up and he came home in a beautiful wooden box with a paw print and nose print. Definitely recommended this place and their caring people.

Lori Dalton
They make one of your worst days bearable. We were able to say a proper goodbye to Baxter and they did not make us feel like we were on a time line. I would most definitely recommend Pet Passage's services. They do everything they say they will and more.
Amberle Kelly
We cannot recommend Pet Passages enough. We utilized their Rainbow Room and their recommended home euthanasia services through Doorbell Vet for our sweet Baylee girl. From our initial consultation phone call to after everything was complete, we were treated with absolute grace, tenderness and kindness. We will forever utilize and recommend their services.

Phenomenal service, I canโt recommend them enough. I prepaid for services and they were by my side the entire time once that horrible day came. They picked our baby up from the vets office, fully included in my package. I will take our little love bug home in a beautifully engraved wooden urn, her memory immortalized in a photo frame with her paw print and birthstone, and each of us will have a beautiful piece of jewelry that carries our beloved pup wherever we go. 18 years of love, fun and snuggles captured so beautifully. I canโt thank Pet Passages enough, thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of our baby girl during her final journey. Your support means the world during such a hard time.
Pepper Lisieski
Pet passages staff was very compassionate and patient. They gave us as much time as we needed with our sweet Simon. They were so fast in getting back his ashes to us. It only took 24 hours. We have had 3 pets pass over the years and they have been great!
Katelyn Whitty
Thankfully Pet Passages has a relationship with Ark Vet Clinic and created a worry free process for my family when our beloved Maggie passed. All details were taken care of and we were informed of every step in the process. I am so grateful to Pet Passages for the care and compassion they showed our family. The wood box, her paw print, everything we received was lovely. Thank you for helping us remember our sweet Maggie.
Allison Murtha
I am so thankful for the entire Pet Passages staff. Working with them professionally through the veterinary field, I knew my boy would be in the best hands. They took such wonderful care of him, set up my portal right away, and had his ink prints available to me within hours. The engraved urn, clay paw print and frame are just beautiful and allow me to display a lovely tribute to my heart dog always. Thank you, Mike and Pet Passages staff, for treating my Murphy like one of your own and giving this heartbroken dog mom some peace of mind.
Francine S
Leah from Pet Passages was compassionate and kind. She told us to take our time and did not rush us during a very difficult situation. When I picked up Sammyโs ashes, she was just as sympathetic. I have, and would recommend Pet Passages to anyone having their pet cremated.
Stacy Romaine
We didn't have a lot of direct communication with Pet Passages, but if my vet trusts them, I do, too. And I've heard from being a dog person that they are the one you want to use if you are given a choice. The communication from them during the process was good and although we did not choose to get any ashes back of have a private cremation, I appreciate the seriousness they seem to take their job with. RIP Sookie 2/14/09-6/13/24
Jennifer Herdlein
The loss of a pet is such an incredibly painful experience. When I lost my dog the thought of a stranger handling body her just didn't feel right to me personally. At Pet Passages we were able to be with her until the very last minute, knowing that someone who loved her was with her the whole way. This service helped ease us through that very difficult time.
Marilyn Brehse
We are so appreciative and grateful that we found Pet Passages in Ontario, NY. From the first call to them to picking up our Lilahโs cremains was handled with love, compassion, dignity and respect โ not just for us, but much more importantly for Lilah. Andrea and Mike were so caring and kind. I also want to mention and thank Brian who helped transport Lilah from the car to the private viewing room and was extremely caring and gentle with her. They are pet lovers themselves and it shows in everything they do. They never rushed us and let us spend as much time in our last moments with her as we wanted. The facility is beautiful and peaceful as well as being very professional and proficient. They have a tracking system to ensure you receive your petโs cremains, which they completed and had her back to us with a couple of days. Having the option to get a clay imprint of her paw as well as the other special touches they provide โ nose and paw prints - was priceless to us. When I picked her up, I decided to purchase an urn, and have it engraved โ which they do right on site and only took a few minutes. I am so glad I did. It is beautiful. Dealing directly with Pet Passages showed us that there is an invaluable service for our four-legged family members that can help you through a difficult time in such a caring, dignified and compassionate way. We could not have asked for a better experience in such a terrible time. We are forever grateful to you Andrea and Mike - and your whole staff. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Marilyn & Neil
valerie potuck
So very thankful for the kindness & support given to us when our 160 lb St. Bernard Chase pasted away.So good to know they will come to your home also. We have the brother of Chase who is 200 lbs.Hopefully, something we wonโt have to deal with soon, but a relief to know they can help when the time comes . They are excellent in every way. Thank again
Bambi Kleehamer
Pet Passages took care of all of my needs and then some when my boy Otis passed. I have used them in the past when my other dog passed. They never disappoint. They are so compassionate and caring. I would never go anywhere else. It is truly one of the hardest things that a pet owner has to go through and Pet Passages makes it as easy as something like that can be. Thank you Pet Passages.
Robin Mietz
This was the most supportive and wonderful company when we lost our dog. They are compassionate and have beautiful ways to create lasting memories of your pet. I cannot say enough wonderful things about Pet Passages.
Barbara Maltba
After my 18 yo kitty passed Pet Passages was there to help. They came and picked up my pet, cremated and returned ashes to me. My kitty was handled with love and dignity. Iโm so grateful they are here in Rochester NY. Thankyou for your outstanding service.
Ruth LaBelle
Pet Passages was very thoughtful. We received the cremains of our good old dog in a very nice bag and also small folder cards with a paw print and a nose print. The nose print was something Iโd never seen done before and itโs very sweet. Our guy was sick but mostly was broken hearted that his devoted owner had passed away a month previously. Their ashes will be combined and scattered together someday soon. Pet Passages made this an easy process while we were mourning both owner and pet.
Tammy Voeltz
Pet Passages was very compassionate, considerate and thoughtful during a difficult time. They, along with Laps of Love gave our dog Cody the dignity of being able to pass at home. We would certainly recommend both of them to anyone whoโs pet is failing and ready to go to the Rainbow Bridge. We now have a beautiful memorial in honor of Cody at our home that wouldnโt have been as special without them. We had such a positive experience, that when Copper our rabbit at the nursing home where I work passed away unexpectedly, we called upon Pet Passages to assist us with his final resting place too. I canโt say enough about them. They provide a wonderful service for us grieving pet parents. I sincerely thank them and am so glad they were there in our time of need -Two best friends who made many senior citizens smile at the nursing home-together again
Elizabeth
Pet Passages was absolutely amazing. the whole process was very easy to handle. The staff was extremely kind and compassionate. I didn't feel like I was rushed or "just a customer". The staff genuinely cared and listened to me. I highly recommend! Open one in Oswego County!!! I would drive to utilize them regardless of where they were located.
Barbara Decker
Losing a beloved pet is heartbreaking. Pet Passages really helped us say good-bye As soon as Mikey arrived at their facility we received an email he was there. That was so comforting. Within 48 hours we received a call to come and pick him up. So the time without him was very short. The beautiful box he came home in, the nose and paw prints are all very dear to us. And what a loving surprise when we opened his box to find a lovely blue velvet bag with a sweet quote that holds his remains. Their compassion really supported us during such a hard time.
Amanda Barton
Beautiful facility with very caring staff, they were wonderful during such a difficult time. They are not well equipped to handle a giant breed dog, which was difficult to witness (gurney and door opening too small, dog almost fell off gurney), but I also understand that my dog is not the norm. Otherwise it was a really great experience, affordable, and would definitely use them again!
Karen Fabi
Mike, Andrea and the staff at Pet Passages are wonderful. On one of my worst days, it was reassuring that my llama Gemma would be back with me. Her beautiful urn sits on my fireplace mantle. I recommend Pet Passages to everyone regarding their loved oneโs resting place.
david hefti
Very sympathetic and was available on Saturday. The room for us to say our goodbyes was nicer than some funeral homes. Our Jake passed away at the emergency vet on Friday night and we were able to get him and bring him to Pet Passages early Saturday afternoon. The price for their services are very reasonable.
Andrea H
As difficult as it was time to say "I'll see you again some day", the professional courtesies Pet Passages provided for my beloved Willow, eased my mind and heart. I highly recommend their services.
Marcus Ferguson
So our baby girl bailey was diagnosed with breast cancer and was only given 3 months to live. She survived about 3 months before her quality of life began to fade. I originally had it planned to have a lady come to our home to help with the passing of our little girl. But I had picked pet passages as the place for her cremation based on reviews and the description of the remembrance package they offer. There was an issue with the scheduling of the lady that was supposed to come to our home for the actual euthanization. I called pet passages and we were scheduled to come in 2 days later. After the lady came in to give our Bailey her medicine to help ease her passing, she got up and put a beautiful sunflower ๐ป on her. It was a moment I will never forget. She went as peacefully as I could have ever imagined. What comes next is just as great. Pet passages had our Bailey ready for us the next day in a beautiful velvet pouch in a nice wooden urn with her name inscribed on the top. They provided paw impressions with her birthstone. Paw prints on a card. A nose print on a card. And even seeds that we plan to plant with our 5 year old in the spring to honor Bailey even farther. We were never rushed from the moment we entered until the moment we decided to leave. This was my first experience dealing with this kind of loss as an adult. Pet passages gave me and my family as much comfort and closure as we could possibly hope for. Not to mention that during covid-19, our own vet only allows one person in and there were 3 of us that wanted to be present for Bailey. They allowed all of us and more if we wanted to. They have total understanding and compassion for what they do there and I can never thank them enough for making this horrible situation as good as it could be. I encourage everyone to do the remembrance package. I will be a lifetime patron of pet passages without a doubt.A big thank you to Kim and the rest of the team there. You will always have our gratitude and please don't ever stop providing this service. I'm sure I speak for many people when I say that we appreciate it from the depths of our hearts.
Tricia DiVirgilio
Thank you so much with all your help with our cat Khandi. Very friendly and helpful through the whole process. Loved the box and the nose print that came home with her ashes. Thanks again for everything.
Redi Imports
Pet passages stayed open for us later than usual to accommodate. Losing a memeber of our family that was with us for 14 years is hard. Pet passages went out of their way to make this transition just a little bit easier and for that I can not thank them enough.
Isadora Marion
Mike, Andrea, and their entire team deliver an exceptional and compassionate service! We've entrusted them as a provider for our patients for many years, and I've personally relied on their dignified services for my own pets. Their professionalism and thoughtfulness in end-of-life care are unparalleled. It's evident that they genuinely believe in honoring each and every pet they encounter.

Joseph DiMonda
Let me begin by saying thank you to Mike and Andrea and the rest of the team at Pet Passages. From the time I arrived with Jack to the day I picked him up and beyond they have been so understanding, comforting, and compassionate.I arrived with Jack in my arms, where I was immediately greeted with complete compassion. They first took the two of us into one of the private rooms, where they consoled me and allowed me to morn for as long as I needed to. This has been the most difficult thing I've ever had to deal with. I can't begin to tell you how much I loved my little baby and how difficult it's been to go through all this. Mike and Andrea have been making this journey for me as easy and comforting as humanly possible. They really are angels. The whole team at Pet Passages are amazing.The process was great, receiving guidance and understanding the moment they took possession of Jack. The moment his information was entered into the system, I received the emails directing me to the Pet Parents Gateway, where I was able to see, in real time, Jack's status throughout the entire process. The thing that really stood out to me once I was logged in were the tools supplied that allowed me to create an obituary or tribute to Jack. And especially access to grief support information.I never felt so much love and attachment between myself and my dog/my baby/my best friend. Jack may be gone, but his love for me and my love for Jack will FOREVER remain in my heart. God brought us together, and has briefly separated us, but some day God will bring us back together again.
Janette Bennett
I really wish I didn't have to use their services, but it was comforting knowing they were there, compassionate, understanding, and of course, reasonably priced. I didn't have to go through a veterinarian third party that would have tacked on another $100 or more and they were very accommodating, being able to take my cat there the afternoon right after he passed. I have all ready recommended them to others and feel that they are the only way to go, should anyone find themselves in the same situation. Thank you for helping me negotiate this difficult time.
Jim Gorski
It was comforting to know there was a good, compassionate location that was available. Nice people, excellent service. I hope I never have to go back - but if I do - it will be here.
Megan Slocum
We were devastated when we found out that our beloved fur baby had bone cancer and he would most likely have to be put to rest. It was the hardest decision we ever had to make, but Pet Passages made the process as smooth and โeasyโ as possible. We were very impressed with their website that kept us informed of where our sweet boy was throughout the entire process. They handled him with care and compassion and we could not be more grateful. We highly recommend them as it was evident that they care not only about the animals, but making sure the families are comfortable from start to finish. Although we hope we donโt have to anytime soon, weโll definitely be using their services in the future!
Kaylee Schaber
I unexpectedly lost my sweet 14 year old dog on a Sunday evening. On Monday I reached out and set an appointment for that day to come in. Everyone I met was kind. I got to say my final goodbyes in a soft lit comfortable room. They explained the process and I made my selection. I requested getting ink prints of both front pawns instead of one. They fulfilled that request and it felt very special they got imagines of both paws for me. Less than two days later I got notified his remains were ready to come home. This was the first time I ever cremated a pet. I'm very thankful to Pet Passages for making the extremely hard time less difficult.
Sandra Johnson
Navigating the painful journey of saying goodbye to a beloved pet is never easy. Having used the services of Pet Passages on two unfortunate occasions in the past year, our family can vouch for their professionalism, high quality of service, and deep-seated compassion during such trying times.The administrative side, which often can add stress to an already emotional situation, was smoothly managed through their collaboration with Lap of Love โ another commendable entity that stood out for their excellence.When our cherished furry family members were returned to us, they were respectfully placed in an exquisitely engraved wooden container. The accompanying information about our pet and resources to cope with the loss spoke volumes about their commitment to families like ours.Losing a pet is a profound sorrow, but the compassionate approach of Pet Passages brings a touch of solace. I cannot recommend their services highly enough for anyone navigating this heart-wrenching journey. They truly understand the depth of our bond with our pets and provide a service that honors that connection.

We had to say goodbye to our 15 year old kitty this past August and during this stressful time Pet Passages was wonderful. They kept us well informed throughout the entire process. It was comforting to know our fur baby was on such good hands and handle with care. We appreciate being able to bring him home within 3 days.

I could not have been more pleased with the service provided. The atmosphere & people were perfect. I would recommend to anyone who needs this service and will not hesitate to reach out to them again when the need arises.
Theresa Mandelaro
From the day she came home to us Harper owned our hearts โฅ๏ธ. Ten years was hardly enough but it was all we were given. Lap of Love and Pet Passages were the final gift we were able to give our girl. From the moment she gained her angel ๐ชฝwings to the day she came back home to us, she was treated with love and respect. Thank you for continuing to take the best care possible of our sweet HarperLee when we no longer could โฅ๏ธ๐พ
Christine
I have had to put pets down before but this was the hardest. My husband passed away 3 years ago to cancer and this was his favorite cat of the 3 we had. Putting MoJo down was like losing another piece of my husband. Pet Passages handled my MoJo's cremation like they knew my special boy and kept me informed the entire process. I also was so surprised to receive his nose and paw print. When MoJo returned home he was returned in a beautiful wood box with his name engraved on it. They also sent a daily grief email that helped me get through his loss. Yes, I still drop a tear for my MoJo but seeing him on my mantel next to his prints and a small vial of his fur - makes it that much easier. Pet Passages truly does a remarkable job with a difficult and emotional task. Thank you.
Francine S
Leah from Pet Passages was compassionate and kind. She told us to take our time and did not rush us during a very difficult situation. When I picked up Sammyโs ashes, she was just as sympathetic. I have, and would recommend Pet Passages to anyone having their pet cremated.
Stacy Romaine
We didn't have a lot of direct communication with Pet Passages, but if my vet trusts them, I do, too. And I've heard from being a dog person that they are the one you want to use if you are given a choice. The communication from them during the process was good and although we did not choose to get any ashes back of have a private cremation, I appreciate the seriousness they seem to take their job with. RIP Sookie 2/14/09-6/13/24
Jennifer Herdlein
The loss of a pet is such an incredibly painful experience. When I lost my dog the thought of a stranger handling body her just didn't feel right to me personally. At Pet Passages we were able to be with her until the very last minute, knowing that someone who loved her was with her the whole way. This service helped ease us through that very difficult time.
Marilyn Brehse
We are so appreciative and grateful that we found Pet Passages in Ontario, NY. From the first call to them to picking up our Lilahโs cremains was handled with love, compassion, dignity and respect โ not just for us, but much more importantly for Lilah. Andrea and Mike were so caring and kind. I also want to mention and thank Brian who helped transport Lilah from the car to the private viewing room and was extremely caring and gentle with her. They are pet lovers themselves and it shows in everything they do. They never rushed us and let us spend as much time in our last moments with her as we wanted. The facility is beautiful and peaceful as well as being very professional and proficient. They have a tracking system to ensure you receive your petโs cremains, which they completed and had her back to us with a couple of days. Having the option to get a clay imprint of her paw as well as the other special touches they provide โ nose and paw prints - was priceless to us. When I picked her up, I decided to purchase an urn, and have it engraved โ which they do right on site and only took a few minutes. I am so glad I did. It is beautiful.

So very thankful for the kindness & support given to us when our 160 lb St. Bernard Chase pasted away.So good to know they will come to your home also. We have the brother of Chase who is 200 lbs.Hopefully, something we wonโt have to deal with soon, but a relief to know they can help when the time comes . They are excellent in every way. Thank again

Robin Mietz
This was the most supportive and wonderful company when we lost our dog. They are compassionate and have beautiful ways to create lasting memories of your pet. I cannot say enough wonderful things about Pet Passages.
Barbara Maltba
After my 18 yo kitty passed Pet Passages was there to help. They came and picked up my pet, cremated and returned ashes to me. My kitty was handled with love and dignity. Iโm so grateful they are here in Rochester NY. Thankyou for your outstanding service.
Ruth LaBelle
Pet Passages was very thoughtful. We received the cremains of our good old dog in a very nice bag and also small folder cards with a paw print and a nose print. The nose print was something Iโd never seen done before and itโs very sweet. Our guy was sick but mostly was broken hearted that his devoted owner had passed away a month previously. Their ashes will be combined and scattered together someday soon. Pet Passages made this an easy process while we were mourning both owner and pet.
Tammy Voeltz
Pet Passages was very compassionate, considerate and thoughtful during a difficult time. They, along with Laps of Love gave our dog Cody the dignity of being able to pass at home. We would certainly recommend both of them to anyone whoโs pet is failing and ready to go to the Rainbow Bridge. We now have a beautiful memorial in honor of Cody at our home that wouldnโt have been as special without them. We had such a positive experience, that when Copper our rabbit at the nursing home where I work passed away unexpectedly, we called upon Pet Passages to assist us with his final resting place too. I canโt say enough about them. They provide a wonderful service for us grieving pet parents. I sincerely thank them and am so glad they were there in our time of need -Two best friends who made many senior citizens smile at the nursing home-together again
Ashley Sanderson
It's not easy to say good-bye to your best friend, but difficult choices are more comforting when you can deal with services like Pet Passages. The process was very quick, and I was able to follow along and know exactly when my fur-baby would be back home. He arrived well-packaged, complete with paw and nose prints, kind words and an absolutely gorgeous, engraved, dark-walnut box. Whether you choose to use directly or through a service like Lap of Love, we highly recommend Pet Passages. Thank you for taking such amazing care with our boy.
Sabrina Laurido
Pet Passages really helped us in taking care of our sweet Lily. We were a mess, but they were very sympathetic, and patient with helping us find the right way to cremate her. I am so thankful we worked with them in this process.
Jennifer Campanella
I can not say enough good things about everyone here. They were very kind and patient and I felt they genuinely cared and were sad for the loss of our pup. I would 100% go back and recommend them to others.
Brittany Colton
Pet Passages worked great with Laps of Love. We didn't want to take our sweet boy to the vet to be euthanized. Laps of Love came and took care of the rest with Pet Passages. Pet Passages was great to talk to on the phone. They were caring and compassionate. 100% recommend.

They provided great service. They made me feel at peace in the way they handled my beloved fur boy. I recommend them to everyone.
Nancy Kay
The team at Pet Passages were so comforting and understanding of the changes and questions I had during the process. They cared for my pet and for us during a very emotional time.
Gordon Miller
Pet Passages were great with us - obviously a very difficult time in life, but they were responsive, compassionate, empathetic and we just can't praise Dr. Beckmann enough - she has a gift for this hard but necessary work. I'd recommend both highly.
Jacquie Budinger
We can't say enough good things about our experience at Pet Passages in Ontario. We were devastated by the passing of our beloved dog and the people there were so compassionate , caring, professional and patient. They made the process so easy during such a difficult time. They have such a calming and tranquil environment there as well. We highly recommend them to every pet owner when that sad, but inevitable time comes.
Joan Cummings
Pet Passages was absolutely wonderful when our beautiful Reagan passed over the rainbow bridge last month. They worked with Doorbell Vet and were kind, loving and professional. It canโt be an easy job for them dealing with clients going through such a difficult and emotional time ( as it was for us) but they were so supportive and helpful. Thank you
Jennifer Giardina
Thank you Julie (Pet Passages) Webster/Ontario/Greece location for helping me through this incredibly difficult time with the passing of my cat Kaley of 20 yrs. Julie was so compassionate and she is such a loving person. She was so accommodating. As soon as I spoke to her I knew Kaley was in an angels hands. I thank you for this service and what you do. I would not have chosen anyone else in the cremation process and I am happy to say thank you for working with Dr. Mandi Beckmann, which is another beautiful angel (Lap of Love). Another amazing service that Kaley and I were truly blessed with.Jennifer - Rochester, N.Y.

Pet Passages was absolutely amazing. the whole process was very easy to handle. The staff was extremely kind and compassionate. I didn't feel like I was rushed or "just a customer". The staff genuinely cared and listened to me. I highly recommend! Open one in Oswego County!!! I would drive to utilize them regardless of where they were located.
Barbara Decker
Losing a beloved pet is heartbreaking. Pet Passages really helped us say good-bye As soon as Mikey arrived at their facility we received an email he was there. That was so comforting. Within 48 hours we received a call to come and pick him up. So the time without him was very short. The beautiful box he came home in, the nose and paw prints are all very dear to us. And what a loving surprise when we opened his box to find a lovely blue velvet bag with a sweet quote that holds his remains. Their compassion really supported us during such a hard time.
Amanda Barton
Beautiful facility with very caring staff, they were wonderful during such a difficult time. They are not well equipped to handle a giant breed dog, which was difficult to witness (gurney and door opening too small, dog almost fell off gurney), but I also understand that my dog is not the norm. Otherwise it was a really great experience, affordable, and would definitely use them again!
Karen Fabi
Mike, Andrea and the staff at Pet Passages are wonderful. On one of my worst days, it was reassuring that my llama Gemma would be back with me. Her beautiful urn sits on my fireplace mantle. I recommend Pet Passages to everyone regarding their loved oneโs resting place.
david hefti
Very sympathetic and was available on Saturday. The room for us to say our goodbyes was nicer than some funeral homes. Our Jake passed away at the emergency vet on Friday night and we were able to get him and bring him to Pet Passages early Saturday afternoon. The price for their services are very reasonable.
Andrea H
As difficult as it was time to say "I'll see you again some day", the professional courtesies Pet Passages provided for my beloved Willow, eased my mind and heart. I highly recommend their services.
Marcus Ferguson
So our baby girl bailey was diagnosed with breast cancer and was only given 3 months to live. She survived about 3 months before her quality of life began to fade. I originally had it planned to have a lady come to our home to help with the passing of our little girl. But I had picked pet passages as the place for her cremation based on reviews and the description of the remembrance package they offer. There was an issue with the scheduling of the lady that was supposed to come to our home for the actual euthanization. I called pet passages and we were scheduled to come in 2 days later. After the lady came in to give our Bailey her medicine to help ease her passing, she got up and put a beautiful sunflower ๐ป on her. It was a moment I will never forget. She went as peacefully as I could have ever imagined. What comes next is just as great. Pet passages had our Bailey ready for us the next day in a beautiful velvet pouch in a nice wooden urn with her name inscribed on the top. They provided paw impressions with her birthstone. Paw prints on a card. A nose print on a card. And even seeds that we plan to plant with our 5 year old in the spring to honor Bailey even farther. We were never rushed from the moment we entered until the moment we decided to leave. This was my first experience dealing with this kind of loss as an adult. Pet passages gave me and my family as much comfort and closure as we could possibly hope for. Not to mention that during covid-19, our own vet only allows one person in and there were 3 of us that wanted to be present for Bailey. They allowed all of us and more if we wanted to. They have total understanding and compassion for what they do there and I can never thank them enough for making this horrible situation as good as it could be. I encourage everyone to do the remembrance package. I will be a lifetime patron of pet passages without a doubt.A big thank you to Kim and the rest of the team there. You will always have our gratitude and please don't ever stop providing this service. I'm sure I speak for many people when I say that we appreciate it from the depths of our hearts.
Tricia DiVirgilio
Thank you so much with all your help with our cat Khandi. Very friendly and helpful through the whole process. Loved the box and the nose print that came home with her ashes. Thanks again for everything.
Redi Imports
Pet passages stayed open for us later than usual to accommodate. Losing a memeber of our family that was with us for 14 years is hard. Pet passages went out of their way to make this transition just a little bit easier and for that I can not thank them enough.
Isadora Marion
Mike, Andrea, and their entire team deliver an exceptional and compassionate service! We've entrusted them as a provider for our patients for many years, and I've personally relied on their dignified services for my own pets. Their professionalism and thoughtfulness in end-of-life care are unparalleled. It's evident that they genuinely believe in honoring each and every pet they encounter.
Natalie McDaniel
Pet passages was very efficient with making sure my pet was returned home asap. I think it took 2 days, and they called and told me my guy was ready to come home. They take this very seriously as they know our pets are our family members. They even included a nose print, paw print, and a little heart shaped seed to grow wild flowers. Appreciate the work they do! Thank you.
Kristin Mitchell-Gates
Highly highly highly recommend this company. My girl passed away a month ago and my vet chose this service for me because I couldnโt do it myself at the time. Iโm so glad she did because they were wonderful from start to finish. I got an email a few days after she had passed with an online portal access. In the portal I could see where she was in the process from start to finish. It told me when she had been picked up, when she was being prepped for cremation, when she was ready, when she was being cremated and when she was ready to be picked up. They took a print of her nose and paw print and I was able to view them on her portal. When I went to pick her up, I got her ashes back in a beautiful box with her name inscribed into it, her ashes were in a bag inside that said โuntil we meet again at the rainbow bridgeโ I got seeds to plant a flower in her memory and they printed out her paw print and nose print. From start to finish this company was wonderful. I canโt recommend them enough.
Jennifer Schulze
Pet Passages handled the loss of our sweet boy very well. They provided open communication and the box with Oscarโs ashes and his framed paw prints are very beautiful. Thank you for your wonderful service during a really tough time.
Patti Barker
I felt so comforted by the compassion kindness of the staff. They gave me all the time I needed and patience of my sadness. Very affordable! A great service to those who want a timely peaceful tribute to their loved pet โค๏ธ
Linnea Muller
I can not say enough wonderful things about my experience with Pet Passages! The staff is amazing! Very understanding and compassionate. They get it. They know how hard it is to lose one of your furry family members. I lost my dog Sassy and brought her to Pet Passages to be cremated. The facility is warm and inviting and I was very impressed with how Kim and Brian handled everything. I truly believed and felt that my Sassy would be handled with the utmost respect and care. Her ashes were back to me the very next day! I will always use Pet Passages going forward for when I lose my fur kids, and this is coming from someone who had worked at a Veterinary Hospital for 8.5 years! An absolute class act establishment! Thank you Pet Passages for making such a heartbreaking time the best possible that it could be for me. Immense gratitude and thanks to you!
Susan
Trying to arrange for cremation for my rabbit, scheduled to be euthanized this morning. The vet says Pet Passages now requires you to pay online ahead of time. But their very simple form, that clearly a monkey could fill out (no question I filled it out completely and correctly) does not submit! And they are closed, so I can't call them. Really horrible to be grieving my pet and going through this process, and have to deal with a very serious issue that means I can't get my pet euthanized because this damn website form doesn't work! Unreal.UPDATE: Called the office when it opened (and had to be late for appt to euthanize my pet). The woman who answered from Pet Passages passively aggressively suggested I was doing something wrong as far as the form not submitting. I told her --this is not the time to argue with me. She asked for my email and said she would send me the link to the submission form (whaaat?? Obviously I already had the link to the submission form)! She would not take payment over the phone. She told me to ask my vet if they still have the paper form to fill out. She did not have a shred of compassion; thankfully, my vet's office did. No pet owner should have to be dealing with a company like this--causing stress, anxiety, and aggravation--just before they have to say goodbye to their pet. My focus should've been on my pet; not on dealing with a business like this and the unacceptable hassle.
Lauren Luzzi
I cannot thank Pet Passages enough for the beautiful ink impressions of my sweet girls nose and paw. Her cremation box is beautiful and engraved which I didn't know they did. I highly recommend them for your pets end of life remembrance.
Bonnie Connell
Pet Passages was a very caring organization. I was notified when my pet had arrived. A few days later, I got a call saying he โwas ready to come home.โ Such a beautiful way of saying it. The ashes were in a beautiful pouch within a beautiful Boโs with his name engraved on the top. Thank you, Pet Passages for your caring service.
Karen Simonetti
Very nice staff, compassionate and accommodating. I will go back to them when I'm in need of that service.
Belinda Northington
This took a minute for me to be able to write in.I would like to thank Dr MandiShe was amazing. Very caring, very understanding of what I was going through with my cat Jazzmin.I felt very comfortable with leaving my princess in her hands.I have never used this type of service before but I believe this is the best way to handle such a difficult time.My Princess came back to me in a very timely manner. Her urn is absolutely beautiful.Thank You guys so much for helping me through this trying time.
Joseph DiMonda
Let me begin by saying thank you to Mike and Andrea and the rest of the team at Pet Passages. From the time I arrived with Jack to the day I picked him up and beyond they have been so understanding, comforting, and compassionate.I arrived with Jack in my arms, where I was immediately greeted with complete compassion. They first took the two of us into one of the private rooms, where they consoled me and allowed me to morn for as long as I needed to. This has been the most difficult thing I've ever had to deal with. I can't begin to tell you how much I loved my little baby and how difficult it's been to go through all this. Mike and Andrea have been making this journey for me as easy and comforting as humanly possible. They really are angels. The whole team at Pet Passages are amazing.The process was great, receiving guidance and understanding the moment they took possession of Jack. The moment his information was entered into the system, I received the emails directing me to the Pet Parents Gateway, where I was able to see, in real time, Jack's status throughout the entire process. The thing that really stood out to me once I was logged in were the tools supplied that allowed me to create an obituary or tribute to Jack. And especially access to grief support information.I never felt so much love and attachment between myself and my dog/my baby/my best friend. Jack may be gone, but his love for me and my love for Jack will FOREVER remain in my heart. God brought us together, and has briefly separated us, but some day God will bring us back together again.
Janette Bennett
I really wish I didn't have to use their services, but it was comforting knowing they were there, compassionate, understanding, and of course, reasonably priced. I didn't have to go through a veterinarian third party that would have tacked on another $100 or more and they were very accommodating, being able to take my cat there the afternoon right after he passed. I have all ready recommended them to others and feel that they are the only way to go, should anyone find themselves in the same situation. Thank you for helping me negotiate this difficult time.
Jim Gorski
It was comforting to know there was a good, compassionate location that was available. Nice people, excellent service. I hope I never have to go back - but if I do - it will be here.
Megan Slocum
We were devastated when we found out that our beloved fur baby had bone cancer and he would most likely have to be put to rest. It was the hardest decision we ever had to make, but Pet Passages made the process as smooth and โeasyโ as possible. We were very impressed with their website that kept us informed of where our sweet boy was throughout the entire process. They handled him with care and compassion and we could not be more grateful. We highly recommend them as it was evident that they care not only about the animals, but making sure the families are comfortable from start to finish. Although we hope we donโt have to anytime soon, weโll definitely be using their services in the future!
Kaylee Schaber
I unexpectedly lost my sweet 14 year old dog on a Sunday evening. On Monday I reached out and set an appointment for that day to come in. Everyone I met was kind. I got to say my final goodbyes in a soft lit comfortable room. They explained the process and I made my selection. I requested getting ink prints of both front pawns instead of one. They fulfilled that request and it felt very special they got imagines of both paws for me. Less than two days later I got notified his remains were ready to come home. This was the first time I ever cremated a pet. I'm very thankful to Pet Passages for making the extremely hard time less difficult.
Sandra Johnson
Navigating the painful journey of saying goodbye to a beloved pet is never easy. Having used the services of Pet Passages on two unfortunate occasions in the past year, our family can vouch for their professionalism, high quality of service, and deep-seated compassion during such trying times.The administrative side, which often can add stress to an already emotional situation, was smoothly managed through their collaboration with Lap of Love โ another commendable entity that stood out for their excellence.When our cherished furry family members were returned to us, they were respectfully placed in an exquisitely engraved wooden container. The accompanying information about our pet and resources to cope with the loss spoke volumes about their commitment to families like ours.Losing a pet is a profound sorrow, but the compassionate approach of Pet Passages brings a touch of solace. I cannot recommend their services highly enough for anyone navigating this heart-wrenching journey. They truly understand the depth of our bond with our pets and provide a service that honors that connection.

We had to say goodbye to our 15 year old kitty this past August and during this stressful time Pet Passages was wonderful. They kept us well informed throughout the entire process. It was comforting to know our fur baby was on such good hands and handle with care. We appreciate being able to bring him home within 3 days.
cheryl bennett
I could not have been more pleased with the service provided. The atmosphere & people were perfect. I would recommend to anyone who needs this service and will not hesitate to reach out to them again when the need arises.
Theresa Mandelaro
From the day she came home to us Harper owned our hearts โฅ๏ธ. Ten years was hardly enough but it was all we were given. Lap of Love and Pet Passages were the final gift we were able to give our girl. From the moment she gained her angel ๐ชฝwings to the day she came back home to us, she was treated with love and respect. Thank you for continuing to take the best care possible of our sweet HarperLee when we no longer could โฅ๏ธ๐พ
Christine
I have had to put pets down before but this was the hardest. My husband passed away 3 years ago to cancer and this was his favorite cat of the 3 we had. Putting MoJo down was like losing another piece of my husband. Pet Passages handled my MoJo's cremation like they knew my special boy and kept me informed the entire process. I also was so surprised to receive his nose and paw print. When MoJo returned home he was returned in a beautiful wood box with his name engraved on it. They also sent a daily grief email that helped me get through his loss. Yes, I still drop a tear for my MoJo but seeing him on my mantel next to his prints and a small vial of his fur - makes it that much easier. Pet Passages truly does a remarkable job with a difficult and emotional task. Thank you.
Brad Schaff
Our experience was exceptional . They have more sympathy than a funeral home . We've had 2 pets put down over the years and their kindness is great ๐. Great job Pet Passages . Brad
April Dean
Excellent communication in a very sad time of need. Also excellent service. I highly recommend Pet Passages to help you after your pet has passed, and to insure they are treated with dignity and respect.
Samantha Jeffries
We used Pet Passages in conjunction with Lap of Love when we had to put our beloved dog down. From start to finish, everything was truly wonderful (as wonderful as it can be in that moment!). Pet Passages kept their portal updated so we knew the status of everything, and delivered our sweet girl back to us in a wonderful engraved box. We would highly recommend their services.
Katt
The man who set up my appointment over the phone was extremely kind, and was very patient with me.Dr. Mandi was the doctor that performed the appointment. She was incredibly kind with Tiger and with all of us. She was patient and understanding and we're so grateful to have had her take care of our cat, Tiger.They're an expensive service, but that's because they will come to your home and they give you a few extra services while they're performing the main service. I would definitely recommend them for anyone who wants to put their pet to rest in the comfort of their own home.
Laurel Swan
I am glad to share my experience: it was wonderful. At a time when my emotions were high, the people at Pet Passages made it as easy as this difficult thing can be. Iโd chosen them ahead of time after researching prices. I called when the time came, and they took over for me, lifting my 75# dog from my car and carrying her on a stretcher into a private room where I could quietly say my final goodbyes. I wasnโt pressured to buy anything extra, and my credit card was accepted quietly; I didnโt want to talk. Later I picked up her ashes and received a sympathy card with her paw print - a very thoughtful gesture. I donโt hesitate in recommending Pet Passages.
nancy flynn
We have used your services twice in the last 18 months.Using your service was our final gift to our beloved girls. Helping them over the rainbow bridge, in the comfort of our arms, in their own home was a blessing.It also helped our other pets understand what happened to their pals.Thank you!
Rachel Ingham
I was ill prepared for the loss of my precious cat. The team at Pet Passages were absolutely amazing. I felt fully confident that they would handle her with care and felt cared for myself. I would recommend Pet Passages to anyone in similar circumstances.
Laura Whitten
Very pleased with your service, we miss our Maria so much
Ken Adams
We were very pleased with Pet Passages. Marble was a member of the family and deserved a dignified cremation. His little paw print and nose print just made us cry. Thank you so much for the care you showed in our dogs end.
Cassie Tylenda
Andrea and Mike are some of the most wonderful people, and more than what I needed when grieving the loss of my family. Laps of love took amazing care of my girl making her feel comfortable and reassuring us that her journey was completed here on earth and her new journey was about to start. Hearing that hurt and made us feel so happy my girl would be running free with no pain anymore. Exact what she's deserved. Getting my girl back the next day was exactly what I needed to feel like she was home with me. I couldn't thank everyone enough who helped us through this process and made Duchess feel so important and loved.
Ashley Sanderson
It's not easy to say good-bye to your best friend, but difficult choices are more comforting when you can deal with services like Pet Passages. The process was very quick, and I was able to follow along and know exactly when my fur-baby would be back home. He arrived well-packaged, complete with paw and nose prints, kind words and an absolutely gorgeous, engraved, dark-walnut box. Whether you choose to use directly or through a service like Lap of Love, we highly recommend Pet Passages. Thank you for taking such amazing care with our boy.
Sabrina Laurido
Pet Passages really helped us in taking care of our sweet Lily. We were a mess, but they were very sympathetic, and patient with helping us find the right way to cremate her. I am so thankful we worked with them in this process.
Jennifer Campanella
I can not say enough good things about everyone here. They were very kind and patient and I felt they genuinely cared and were sad for the loss of our pup. I would 100% go back and recommend them to others.
Brittany Colton
Pet Passages worked great with Laps of Love. We didn't want to take our sweet boy to the vet to be euthanized. Laps of Love came and took care of the rest with Pet Passages. Pet Passages was great to talk to on the phone. They were caring and compassionate. 100% recommend.

Donna Delhagen
We lost our sweet Maya back in June. We had her for 13 wonderful years. We were devastated when she left us. We canโt say enough about Pet Passages. They were kind, caring, and very gentle. Maya passed during the night with us by her side. We contacted Pet Passages first thing in the morning and the came within an hour to pick her up. She was a big dog so we were unable to handle her on our own. Pet Passages took care of everything. The next day we went to pick up her ashes which were placed in a beautiful wooden box with her name engraved on the top. They included her paw print on a special certificate. They made a heart wrenching experience a little bit better. We thank them from the bottoms of our hearts. We highly recommend them.
Krista Krzemien
I was so impressed with how quickly Pet Passages called me to tell me that my dog was "ready to come home". The turnaround was less than a week...and this occurred during Christmas week! I felt so much better once my fur baby was "back home" with me again. The professionalism & compassion were amazing.
Sarah Weidenborner
After we lost our sweet little goose Millie, Pet Passages made the next steps not only a little bit easier, but special. You can tell that every single person there truly cares and are truly compassionate. The prices are reasonable and they stayed in contact with me regarding updates on Millieโs cremation process and I had her back home the next day after dropping her off. Thank you so much to everyone at Pet Passages for helping me celebrate Millieโs life.
Sarah Krolak
I highly recommend. Saying goodbye is always difficult and still hurts today. Pet Passages was professional and caring. We did not plan on cremation but had no choice due to freeze in NY. Great communication. They personally delivered our girl home after cremation in a beautiful velvet lines boxes with her name engraved. We also received a beautiful ink print of her nose and paw print and even followed up with us after. It was a personal experience which I am grateful for when dealing with such an emotional situation.
Anne Mitchell
Pet Passages was so great with us when my dog, Baby passed away on Monday, March 30. We were able to take her in ourselves and spend as much time as we wanted to with her before taking care of the necessary paperwork.Andrea was so very helpful and understanding, she asked if we wished to witness the cremation, it was a beautiful gesture that we declined, but appreciated the offer.If we ever need to go thru this difficult time again, we will definitely be going to Pet Passages.Thank you so much for all you did for us.
Lorie Brown
Our paths crossed recently with Pet Passages when we lost our precious dog Bailey of 14 years. When I made the initial phone call, I was greeted by Andrea who was so kind. When we arrived with our fur baby, Andrea immediately walked up and gave me a comforting hug. I needed that because my heart was broken. We canโt thank Pet Passages enough for the care and concern we received during this extremely difficult time. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!
Leigh White
Our elderly dog, Kirby, was in failing health and the decision to have her put down was hard but necessary. My family had never done cremation of a pet before, so I did not know what to expect. Our vet made the arrangement for the pick up and Pet Passages was already outside waiting to pick Kirby up, as I left. Within two days, I received the call that her ashes were ready. They were kind, courteous, and her box, with her name written on it, was very pretty. I was truly thankful and satisfied with their professionalism.
Jarrod Crawford
I was fortunate to attend the grand opening for Pet Passages and was truly impressed and had no clue that such a place existed. During the open house I met Mike and the staff. Knowing that I had a sick dog at home it was only a matter of time before I inquired personally.The time has come. Our beloved family member Bella was put to sleep due to cancer. I called Mike and he was great as expected. He walked me through the process and explained what we could expect. He was there for my family and our Bella. I highly recommend their services and we now have a great remembrance of our family member.Thank you Mike and all the staff at Pet Passages.Best wishes!Jarrod
Kelly Jutsum
We were not prepared for how thoughtfully our dog's remains would be prepared when returned to us, and we are so thankful for their wonderful resources and the etched box that the remains were returned to us in!
Roberta Grant
I cant say enough good things about Pet Passages! They were so kind and compassionate when my furbaby of 11 years passed away! So caring!

I highly recommend the services of Pet Passages in your pets time of need as they treated my baby like he was theres and It eased my heart and mind completely! Thank you again Pet Passagesโค

No pet owner should have to be dealing with a company like this--causing stress, anxiety, and aggravation--just before they have to say goodbye to their pet. My focus should've been on my pet; not on dealing with a business like this and the unacceptable hassle.

I cannot thank Pet Passages enough for the beautiful ink impressions of my sweet girls nose and paw. Her cremation box is beautiful and engraved which I didn't know they did. I highly recommend them for your pets end of life remembrance.
Bonnie Connell
Pet Passages was a very caring organization. I was notified when my pet had arrived. A few days later, I got a call saying he โwas ready to come home.โ Such a beautiful way of saying it. The ashes were in a beautiful pouch within a beautiful Boโs with his name engraved on the top. Thank you, Pet Passages for your caring service.
Karen Simonetti
Very nice staff, compassionate and accommodating. I will go back to them when I'm in need of that service.
Belinda Northington
This took a minute for me to be able to write in.I would like to thank Dr MandiShe was amazing.

Her urn is absolutely beautiful.Thank You guys so much for helping me through this trying time.
Joanne Insull
Pinot's ashes were returned to us within a week. They were in a velvet bag in a lovely box with his name on top.Also included was a heart embedded with flower seeds and his paw print and nose print . It was a lovely presentation and brought tears to my eyes. It probably wouldn't have mattered to him, but it did to us. Nice job.
Tracy DiPerri
Having to call them was awful but they were wonderful. Their touching service options are affordable and they are very kind and caring
Pam Vogt
Pet passages was recommended to us by another family member who had used their services. Their recommendation was the best choice we made during such a difficult time. Mike and Andrea made their services available to us on a Sunday afternoon after our little 14 yr old Yorkie crossed the Rainbow Bridge at her vet's office. Their dedication to what they do was top notch. The most difficult day of our lives was made much easier with their compassion and caring, not rushing us to say goodbye to our beloved dog. The memory keepsakes they provided are proudly displayed in my home as a constant reminder of our special furry "child." For anyone who is in need of this special service, do not hesitate to contact them!!
Pamela Sookram
My dogs was seriously ill and we had the difficult task of expensive surgery,that he may not make it through or to sadly put him down.Pet Passages was just wonderful !!! I let them know l was seeking a second opinion that day but wanted to make arrangements,just in case l did need them. They were so accommodating and very understanding,never needing their services before.I very highly recommend Pet Passages if your in need of this type of service ! They made our Max's passing a beautiful thing with the love and respect for our family member we loved !
Taylor Bliven
They were amazing when my chinchilla, Todd died. Also love how they offer different remembrance items. I had a necklace made with his picture on it and also plan to get a canvas done soon as well.
George Beadle
We had our wonderful cat, Keystone, for over 16 years. But sadly, time had taken its toll on him and he was failing in health. Pet Passages staff were very understanding of our needs and were wonderful in helping transition through our loss. I would highly recommend Pet Passages to anyone who looses a furry family member.
mary overfield
We could not have chosen a better place to celebrate our dog Bailey's life than Pet Passages. It was empowering to have a choice on how and where we wanted to memorialize Bailey, as opposed to having limited input via our vet's office. Mike and his team made the best of a difficult situation, and we will always remember the compassion that was shown to our family at Pet Passages. There are many options to accommodate your personal wishes, and the cost of all services is more than reasonable. We would highly recommend Pet Passages to any pet owner and remind you that you do have a choice when it comes to celebrating and memorializing your pet's life.
Mindy Walsh
The whole experience was very respectful and dignified throughout the whole process. Losing my bird after 31 years was very difficult but I am so glad this service was available to me and I love the beautiful display box and the foot imprint card. Everyone was so kind and respectful. I will definitely recommend their services to everyone.
Jed Moomaw
I cannot recommend Pet Passages enough! In a very difficult time they showed compassion every step of the way. From the moment I walked through the door I knew I made the right decision. The atmosphere was calming and I never felt rushed. We were able to take all the time we needed.
becky sanita
Our family woke up Christmas morning to the death of our beloved cat of 14 years and kim was amazing to deal with. I met up with her that Monday and she was amazing to deal with, patient, kind and just amazing. Losing our cat was a huge loss for our whole family and their compassion was amazing. From start to finish of bringing my fur baby there and home was amazing. He will always be with us at home thank you to you guys. I can not say thank you enough for treating my fur baby with the kind ways you did. We appreciate it from the bottom of our hearts.
Brad Schaff
Our experience was exceptional . They have more sympathy than a funeral home . We've had 2 pets put down over the years and their kindness is great ๐. Great job Pet Passages . Brad
April Dean
Excellent communication in a very sad time of need. Also excellent service. I highly recommend Pet Passages to help you after your pet has passed, and to insure they are treated with dignity and respect.
Samantha Jeffries
We used Pet Passages in conjunction with Lap of Love when we had to put our beloved dog down. From start to finish, everything was truly wonderful (as wonderful as it can be in that moment!). Pet Passages kept their portal updated so we knew the status of everything, and delivered our sweet girl back to us in a wonderful engraved box. We would highly recommend their services.
Katt
The man who set up my appointment over the phone was extremely kind, and was very patient with me.Dr. Mandi was the doctor that performed the appointment. She was incredibly kind with Tiger and with all of us. She was patient and understanding and we're so grateful to have had her take care of our cat, Tiger.They're an expensive service, but that's because they will come to your home and they give you a few extra services while they're performing the main service. I would definitely recommend them for anyone who wants to put their pet to rest in the comfort of their own home.
Laurel Swan
I am glad to share my experience: it was wonderful. At a time when my emotions were high, the people at Pet Passages made it as easy as this difficult thing can be. Iโd chosen them ahead of time after researching prices. I called when the time came, and they took over for me, lifting my 75# dog from my car and carrying her on a stretcher into a private room where I could quietly say my final goodbyes. I wasnโt pressured to buy anything extra, and my credit card was accepted quietly; I didnโt want to talk. Later I picked up her ashes and received a sympathy card with her paw print - a very thoughtful gesture. I donโt hesitate in recommending Pet Passages.
nancy flynn
We have used your services twice in the last 18 months.Using your service was our final gift to our beloved girls. Helping them over the rainbow bridge, in the comfort of our arms, in their own home was a blessing.It also helped our other pets understand what happened to their pals.Thank you!
Rachel Ingham
I was ill prepared for the loss of my precious cat. The team at Pet Passages were absolutely amazing. I felt fully confident that they would handle her with care and felt cared for myself. I would recommend Pet Passages to anyone in similar circumstances.
Laura Whitten
Very pleased with your service, we miss our Maria so much
Ken Adams
We were very pleased with Pet Passages. Marble was a member of the family and deserved a dignified cremation. His little paw print and nose print just made us cry. Thank you so much for the care you showed in our dogs end.
Cassie Tylenda
Andrea and Mike are some of the most wonderful people, and more than what I needed when grieving the loss of my family. Laps of love took amazing care of my girl making her feel comfortable and reassuring us that her journey was completed here on earth and her new journey was about to start. Hearing that hurt and made us feel so happy my girl would be running free with no pain anymore. Exact what she's deserved. Getting my girl back the next day was exactly what I needed to feel like she was home with me. I couldn't thank everyone enough who helped us through this process and made Duchess feel so important and loved.
Melinda Miller
Pet Passages helped make the passing of my boi Oscar must less stressful. They took care of all my needs, including a boop and beans prints. So thankful for their services.
Susan Pecor
We are very grateful to Pet Passages for their delicate and sincere attitude toward us during a very difficult time. Andrea was extremely kind, soft spoken, patient, and really understood what we were going through. We are especially grateful for Mike's guidance and insights when we were contemplating a difficult decision. Without telling us what to do, Mike's gentle words and insights helped us feel confident we were making the right decision for our situation. I'm eternally grateful for that as it give us peace when we were struggling. Susan from Macedon
Shay Magee
I could not be more grateful for pet passages. They were so comforting and sweet during the hardest time of my life, losing my baby girl Dilly. Their prices and options are so much better than any other out there! The emergency vet wanted $260 for cremation, a clay paw print and ink print. For under $200 pet passages did all that along with a beautiful urn, wildflower seeds, and her birthstone on the clay paw print. Everyone should know about pet passages and the amazing, loving people who are on a mission to help us pet lovers during our hardest time ๐
Cindy Hoage
They are so compassionate and understanding when you talk to them. They keep you up-to-date on what step your pet is in for the cremation process which is very helpful. Their paw and nose prints are also very clear (perfect if you want to get a tattoo of them). I highly recommend them!!
Samantha Litto
A few weeks ago I lost my baby Bean to cancer. My heart is still broken and so much of my life does not feel the same without him by my side, however I am thankful that even at the end as I was forced to say goodbye to him after almost thirteen wonderful years together (seriously he was the BEST dog) I was able to see him out with the dignity and respect he deserved. This is both thanks to the home euthanasia that was worth every penny and also thanks to Pet Passages for the professional and warm service they provided during a time that I just didn't want to accept reality.Everything from the obvious duty of of their jobs, to the small thoughtful tokens you are sent home with (a beautiful engraved box, a heart to plant and watch grow in memory, and a paw print) as well as the overall experience gets a five star rating from me and I will highly recommend this establishment over any other option in Rochester, NY.I also think it is very important to add that I lost Bean in late March 2020 as the COVID-19 pandemic had peeked across the country and in our local area. Mike personally answered my calls, was available the morning we were to deliver Bean and there was no delay in receiving his remains. Mike nor his staff ever treated us any differently or added any extra anxiety during a time when we are all uncertain. I appreciated that greatly. We have heard so many stories of human loved ones passing alone and their loved ones not being able to say goodbye or hold a service. I thank Mike for his normalcy during this difficult time as I couldn't imagine finding peace without the proper care that Bean and I were given regardless of what was going on outside.And the building is very very nice. It is very clean and modern. You feel like you are sitting in the comfort of Mikes living room, not a sad funeral home or a cold crematorium.Prices are also very fair.Thank you Mike.You truly do a wonderful job.
Tony Ferrari
Mike and the team were amazing and very accommodating during an extremely difficult time. We have had to use their services twice within the last year and my wife and I are grateful how everything was handled smoothly with respect to us and our pets that we lost. I recommend pet passages to anyone that needs their services, and we have already referred a family member to them as well when they lost their family dog.
Sheryl Schojan
Our sweet, lovable, beautiful 3 month old puppy passed away during the night, and at that time we didnt know how she passed away. She was just very ill and couldn't walk for one day, and passed away at 2am in the morning. The next day my Husband and I brought her to Pet Passages. We were both extremely upset, because we didn't have much time with Holly and we were puzzled to why she passed away so quickly. The lady that owns a golden retriever, and works at the desk when you walk into Pet Passages was very caring, supportive, understanding, and she took her time to listen to us about our sweet puppy. We also didnt even have money at the time to pay for the cremation, and she was able to let us pay at a later date. About two weeks later my husband picked up Holly, and the lady told him that the she felt so bad for us including the other staff when we dropped her off. A veterinarian came in later that day, and the lady talked her about our puppy's symptoms and the veternian even looked at our puppy. The veterinarian said that she was 90% positive that our puppy had parvovirus, and Holly passed quick with no suffering. I'm FOREVER grateful for this lady, the veterinarian, and the staff at Pet Passages. We definitely recommend them, and if we ever have to do cremate a loved one again I wouldn't even think for a second not to go to Pet Passages again. Thank you so much from the bottom of our hearts ๐พโค
Chris Gudell
Mike and Andrea were so helpful. My usual vet had an answering machine just saying they were busy and to call back... FOR 3 DAYS. When they answered on the 4th day, the next appointment was available 4 more days ahead. My sweet kitty died. I found Pet Passages who took me the same day for her cremation. Thank you so much.
Kristy Spearman
Me and my mom are absolutely thrilled of the service we received for our baby girl, Amber. I had Mentioned to one of the workers i wanted to get her paw prints tattooed on me and when we came and picked her up their was an envelope with unedited paw prints and the envelope that stated โ for tattooโ as a surprise for me and i lost it because it was so thoughtful and That way when i do get it tattooed i will have her on me forever. The staff is absolutely amazing, the owners wife had sat down and talked to me and my mom for at least for 30 mins before taking Amber home telling us all about this business and how they want to serve the community in Greece and how they are opening up a location. I would love to work for this company and show my passion for animals and take care of other animals and Their owners just as well they took care of me and my mom. We couldnโt ask for a better place to take such care of our baby girl. We want to thank you guys so so much. We been talking so highly about you to all our friends & family.
melissa kunes
What a wonderful place in a time of heartbreak. Everyone was so very kind to me. I wasn't sure what to expect given it was my first time putting a pet down. Everyone was so kind and compassionate. They even use my dog's name in conversation which made it more touching. I highly recommend Pet Passages in your time of need.
Donna Delhagen
We lost our sweet Maya back in June. We had her for 13 wonderful years. We were devastated when she left us. We canโt say enough about Pet Passages. They were kind, caring, and very gentle. Maya passed during the night with us by her side. We contacted Pet Passages first thing in the morning and the came within an hour to pick her up. She was a big dog so we were unable to handle her on our own. Pet Passages took care of everything. The next day we went to pick up her ashes which were placed in a beautiful wooden box with her name engraved on the top. They included her paw print on a special certificate. They made a heart wrenching experience a little bit better. We thank them from the bottoms of our hearts. We highly recommend them.
Krista Krzemien
I was so impressed with how quickly Pet Passages called me to tell me that my dog was "ready to come home". The turnaround was less than a week...and this occurred during Christmas week! I felt so much better once my fur baby was "back home" with me again. The professionalism & compassion were amazing.
Sarah Weidenborner
After we lost our sweet little goose Millie, Pet Passages made the next steps not only a little bit easier, but special. You can tell that every single person there truly cares and are truly compassionate. The prices are reasonable and they stayed in contact with me regarding updates on Millieโs cremation process and I had her back home the next day after dropping her off. Thank you so much to everyone at Pet Passages for helping me celebrate Millieโs life.
Sarah Krolak
I highly recommend. Saying goodbye is always difficult and still hurts today. Pet Passages was professional and caring. We did not plan on cremation but had no choice due to freeze in NY. Great communication. They personally delivered our girl home after cremation in a beautiful velvet lines boxes with her name engraved. We also received a beautiful ink print of her nose and paw print and even followed up with us after. It was a personal experience which I am grateful for when dealing with such an emotional situation.
Anne Mitchell
Pet Passages was so great with us when my dog, Baby passed away on Monday, March 30. We were able to take her in ourselves and spend as much time as we wanted to with her before taking care of the necessary paperwork.Andrea was so very helpful and understanding, she asked if we wished to witness the cremation, it was a beautiful gesture that we declined, but appreciated the offer.If we ever need to go thru this difficult time again, we will definitely be going to Pet Passages.Thank you so much for all you did for us.
Lorie Brown
Our paths crossed recently with Pet Passages when we lost our precious dog Bailey of 14 years. When I made the initial phone call, I was greeted by Andrea who was so kind. When we arrived with our fur baby, Andrea immediately walked up and gave me a comforting hug. I needed that because my heart was broken. We canโt thank Pet Passages enough for the care and concern we received during this extremely difficult time. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!
Leigh White
Our elderly dog, Kirby, was in failing health and the decision to have her put down was hard but necessary. My family had never done cremation of a pet before, so I did not know what to expect. Our vet made the arrangement for the pick up and Pet Passages was already outside waiting to pick Kirby up, as I left. Within two days, I received the call that her ashes were ready. They were kind, courteous, and her box, with her name written on it, was very pretty. I was truly thankful and satisfied with their professionalism.
Jarrod Crawford
I was fortunate to attend the grand opening for Pet Passages and was truly impressed and had no clue that such a place existed. During the open house I met Mike and the staff. Knowing that I had a sick dog at home it was only a matter of time before I inquired personally.The time has come. Our beloved family member Bella was put to sleep due to cancer. I called Mike and he was great as expected. He walked me through the process and explained what we could expect. He was there for my family and our Bella. I highly recommend their services and we now have a great remembrance of our family member.Thank you Mike and all the staff at Pet Passages.Best wishes!Jarrod
Kelly Jutsum
We were not prepared for how thoughtfully our dog's remains would be prepared when returned to us, and we are so thankful for their wonderful resources and the etched box that the remains were returned to us in!
Roberta Grant
I cant say enough good things about Pet Passages! They were so kind and compassionate when my furbaby of 11 years passed away! So caring! They walk you through step by step and let you know your pet is honestly getting the best loving care possible ! I know my Max was well taken care of! I highly recommend the services of Pet Passages in your pets time of need as they treated my baby like he was theres and It eased my heart and mind completely! Thank you again Pet Passagesโค
Jeremy Cummings
Amazing people. Our sweet boy Marley passed and we brought him in we felt cared for. The business was closed but the vet's office caught the owner in the office. He waited for us to arrive and allowed us extra time with Marley. To be shown such care on a very hard day was so appreciated.
Rich C
The folks who run this operation are the most caring and respectful business owners I have ever had an opportunity to work with. They have the technology in place that gives you up to date notifications on the progress of your pet throughout the cremation process. They were very understanding and sympathetic at the time of the loss of my dog. I would definitely recommend their services to friends and family.
Trisha Debacco
We were extremely pleased with Mike and Andrea at Pet Passages. They were very empathetic and provided compassionate and efficient service. We received a beautiful box for our pet's ashes, a ceramic paw print, and a beautiful card of sympathy. I would highly recommend Pet Passages
Annie
Losing a pet is a pain like none other, but Pet Passages certainly helped to take some of the initial discomfort away. We chose to say goodbye to our beloved Boxer at home, and Pet Passages was generous to open after hours for us to bring her there. They have a beautiful facility that matches the kindness of Mike & Andrea. We have worked with other cremation facilities in the past, and we would by far recommend Pet Passages over any others.
Sam I Am
We lost our pet suddenly, and discovered Pet Passages in a Google search. Kim and the staff were sooooo professional and caring. They guided us through the process with care & compassion. Losing a pet, a member of the family, is never easy. We got our kitty back the next day, and his urn and remembrance cards were absolutely beautiful. Thank you again!
Sarah Smith
Pet Passages was a great company to work with during the difficult time of saying goodbye to our wonderful lab. They listened and answered all the questions that we had. Once the time came, they were extremely helpful and were there when we needed them. I would recommend them to anyone when itโs time for your pet to cross the rainbow bridge.
Rose Marie
This place..... My babies Max & Norman passed. My hearts and my soul....They made this time in our life so much easier. Such sweet people... caring and loving. Such a blessing to have a place like this. They literally are so comforting and get the job done. No question asked they do everything they can to make this hard time as easy as possible. We had our babies picked up from our home and then mailed back. 2 days and they were back with us.Excellent establishment & excellent people! Highly recommend!Thank you guys from the bottom of our heart.Nicholas & Rose Graham
Suzanne Herko-Tordai
We could not have chosen a better place for our two dogs Bear and Onyx. Mike and Andrea went above and beyond and made the best of a difficult situation. We will always remember the compassion that was shown to our family at Pet Passages. They both are truly amazing people and love what they do.
Maribeth Wilke
Pet Passages had such great respect and beautiful care when our furry family member left us. Not only did they provide such a comfort with their service, they also did so in a very timely manner.
Donna Reuter
I have had several of my beloved pets cremated at Pet Passages. They treat your pet as well as yourself with love and respect through the whole process. You are constantly informed all through the process. I high recommend Pet Passages.

Christopher Joyce
Before my dog had passed I hadn't considered this part of the transition. We were crushed as the news came out of no where for us. Mike did a great job for us, provided quick service, with updates every step of the way. We had our pup back in our house the very next day. It gave our family comfort that in some way shape or form our dog never spent a day without us. Thanks a lot to Pet Passages. I can't speak highly enough about them.
Andrea Interlicchia
On one of the most difficult days in my life Pet Passages showed complete compassion. Pet Passages provided a beautiful loving environment for us to be able to say goodbye to our family dog Smokey.
Karen Pinkney
I have nothing but good to say about Mike and Pet Passages. He was helpful and compassionate, and even waited for me to get there late in the day after I had to put my little dog, Emmie, to sleep. It is so hard to say goodbye to our fur kids, but Mike helped me through the process nicely. The velvet pouch in the beautiful box engraved with Emmie's name, along with the footprint, the heart shaped wildflower seed piece, and the Rainbow Bridge story have all helped during this difficult time. Thank you Mike Harris and Pet Passages.
Mindy Aschman
Mike was called to my home twice. I had arranged for services before my dog was seen by the vet. The vet thought she could be treated so I had to cancel but he'd already arrived but was happy for me that her life was extended for a time. When she was euthanized he and his assistant came ASAP and couldn't have been kinder or more understanding of my distress. I would highly recommend Pet Passages services.
Tammi Ingerham
When my Buddy passed, I was heartbroken and wasn't sure were I would come up with the money to bring my baby home. A friend suggested Pet Passages and when I spoke to Mike, he was very understanding and empathetic. He told he would pick Buddy that day and let me know when he had arrived. Every step of the way Mike let me know what was going on. I felt at ease for the first time since Buddy had passed. Within about 24 hours I had my baby back home were he belonged. I will never use anyone else when that time comes again. I would recommend them to all family,friends and colleagues ( I work at a puppy daycare), 100%. Thank you Mike for making this difficult time a little less heartbreaking.
Kaitlyn Snyder
Absolutely recommend Pet Passages. I was an absolute wreck with the loss of my cat, they showed true compassion and care for me and I canโt thank them enough. Itโs not an ideal situation, but they truly went above and beyond to comfort me.
JA Cotton
I was very happy with the services and flexibility provided when I had to unexpectedly euthanize my beloved senior Pomeranian, Martha. Their office followed up with me a.s.a.p. and made arrangements for me to come by (my preference) to drop her off. They were kind, polite, and compassionate. Will definitely use their services again when it's time for our second dog to cross the rainbow bridge.
Paulina Anderson
We have gone to Pet passages for all of our animals. They treated us with so much respect and our pets with dignity. I felt comfortable knowing my pets last moments in physical form were well taken care of. They cried with me and allowed me to tell them stories and videos and make me smile for a few moments sharing my pet with them. thank you Pet passages <3
Riley Churchill
Pet Passages did an awesome job honoring our girl Maci who left us after 13 years. I would recommend them anytime.
Victoria Schrader
Andrea was an angel sent to me at a very sad and horrible time! She made herself available when I needed her and helped me through this and sent my wonderful dog, Penny to the rainbow bridge with dignity and care. Wonderful place to say good bye with caring people! Thank you

This is both thanks to the home euthanasia that was worth every penny and also thanks to Pet Passages for the professional and warm service they provided during a time that I just didn't want to accept reality.Everything from the obvious duty of of their jobs, to the small thoughtful tokens you are sent home with (a beautiful engraved box, a heart to plant and watch grow in memory, and a paw print) as well as the overall experience gets a five star rating from me and I will highly recommend this establishment over any other option in Rochester, NY.I also think it is very important to add that I lost Bean in late March 2020 as the COVID-19 pandemic had peeked across the country and in our local area. Mike personally answered my calls, was available the morning we were to deliver Bean and there was no delay in receiving his remains. Mike nor his staff ever treated us any differently or added any extra anxiety during a time when we are all uncertain. I appreciated that greatly. We have heard so many stories of human loved ones passing alone and their loved ones not being able to say goodbye or hold a service. I thank Mike for his normalcy during this difficult time as I couldn't imagine finding peace without the proper care that Bean and I were given regardless of what was going on outside.And the building is very very nice. It is very clean and modern. You feel like you are sitting in the comfort of Mikes living room, not a sad funeral home or a cold crematorium.Prices are also very fair.Thank you Mike.You truly do a wonderful job.

Mike and the team were amazing and very accommodating during an extremely difficult time. We have had to use their services twice within the last year and my wife and I are grateful how everything was handled smoothly with respect to us and our pets that we lost. I recommend pet passages to anyone that needs their services, and we have already referred a family member to them as well when they lost their family dog.
Sheryl Schojan
Our sweet, lovable, beautiful 3 month old puppy passed away during the night, and at that time we didnt know how she passed away. She was just very ill and couldn't walk for one day, and passed away at 2am in the morning. The next day my Husband and I brought her to Pet Passages. We were both extremely upset, because we didn't have much time with Holly and we were puzzled to why she passed away so quickly. The lady that owns a golden retriever, and works at the desk when you walk into Pet Passages was very caring, supportive, understanding, and she took her time to listen to us about our sweet puppy. We also didnt even have money at the time to pay for the cremation, and she was able to let us pay at a later date. About two weeks later my husband picked up Holly, and the lady told him that the she felt so bad for us including the other staff when we dropped her off. A veterinarian came in later that day, and the lady talked her about our puppy's symptoms and the veternian even looked at our puppy. The veterinarian said that she was 90% positive that our puppy had parvovirus, and Holly passed quick with no suffering. I'm FOREVER grateful for this lady, the veterinarian, and the staff at Pet Passages. We definitely recommend them, and if we ever have to do cremate a loved one again I wouldn't even think for a second not to go to Pet Passages again. Thank you so much from the bottom of our hearts ๐พโค
Chris Gudell
Mike and Andrea were so helpful. My usual vet had an answering machine just saying they were busy and to call back... FOR 3 DAYS. When they answered on the 4th day, the next appointment was available 4 more days ahead. My sweet kitty died. I found Pet Passages who took me the same day for her cremation. Thank you so much.
Kristy Spearman
Me and my mom are absolutely thrilled of the service we received for our baby girl, Amber. I had Mentioned to one of the workers i wanted to get her paw prints tattooed on me and when we came and picked her up their was an envelope with unedited paw prints and the envelope that stated โ for tattooโ as a surprise for me and i lost it because it was so thoughtful and That way when i do get it tattooed i will have her on me forever. The staff is absolutely amazing, the owners wife had sat down and talked to me and my mom for at least for 30 mins before taking Amber home telling us all about this business and how they want to serve the community in Greece and how they are opening up a location. I would love to work for this company and show my passion for animals and take care of other animals and Their owners just as well they took care of me and my mom. We couldnโt ask for a better place to take such care of our baby girl. We want to thank you guys so so much. We been talking so highly about you to all our friends & family.
melissa kunes
What a wonderful place in a time of heartbreak. Everyone was so very kind to me. I wasn't sure what to expect given it was my first time putting a pet down. Everyone was so kind and compassionate. They even use my dog's name in conversation which made it more touching. I highly recommend Pet Passages in your time of need.
Nicole Evarts
I can not express enough the gratitude that I have for this company. Making a situation as sad as losing one of your fur babies, joyful and happy.. they attention the detail with the memories they send you of your pet. Nose print, foot print, a foot mold, a shrub to plant. All amazing tributes to my fur baby that I will have forever. I will pass my experience on to anyone who will listen. Thank you so much
lori merrill
Pet Passages was the most compassionate and caring facility when their services were needed after the passing of my beloved 14 year old cat Roz. Mike and Andrea both treated Roz and my family with respect and dignity from the initial phone call to the return of her remains. Thank you both for your kindness and caring at this most difficult time.
Josh Cieslinski
My wife and I are so appreciative of the warmth, and compassion that the staff at Pet Passages showed us. We felt peace and comfort knowing our babies were in caring hands and highly recommend their services. Andrea and Mike thank you again for the peace of mind you provided. - Jennifer and josh

I lost my dog to cancer about 2 months ago. It happened quickly and we had to let him go a lot sooner than we thought we had. We had a wonderful vet come to our house on a Sunday. Not only did Mike meet us there at PetPassages on his day off when they are closed, he also let us come in an hour later than we had asked. He was professional and extremely kind. He let me have private time with my baby before I had to say a final goodbye. When I went back a few week later when his Urn had arrived (had the option of picking my boy up before his urn came) the women (im so sorry, I forgot her name) was just as professional and kind as Mike is. Though I hope it is a long time before I need their services again, I will go here again. I had a wonderful experience in the worst time of my life, and I am very grateful to them. Thank you so much.
Kate Vacca
Sadly, I have had to use Pet Passages for 3 of my beloved pets. They are incredibly compassionate, kind, and respectful. I'm so appreciative for their approach during such a difficult time.
Marjorie Notebaert
We were so comforted by the way we were treated at Pet Passages. Losing a pet is so difficult and we we treated with compassion and caring. Everything that they did for us helped us through such a sad experience. Would totally recommend having them help you say goodbye to your loving friend.
Jules K
Fabulous business and staff. They make the heartache of losing your fur baby a smidgeon easier
brian fox
When the time comes for you to say goodbye to one of your cherished pets, do not look any further than Pet Passages (Ontario, NY)!!! Mike and Andrea are extremely professional, compassionate and accommodating during your grieving period. We have had to use them a few times now and have always been completely satisfied. Thank you!! A+++++~The Fox Family
Christie
Mike and Andrea at Pet Passages were incredibly understanding, sensitive, and helpful when it came time to discuss cremation options for our beloved 15-year-old Shih Tzu. Mike even kept his shop open after typical hours to wait for us to arrive on a Saturday afternoon. His compassion and sympathy for our family during such a difficult and emotional time was greatly appreciated and did not go unnoticed. Additionally, Mike was knowledgeable of the process and patient as we selected our choices. He was also patient and understanding as we said our final goodbyes in a private viewing room that was available at the shop. The actual cremation process from drop off to pick up day was very timely (3 days). We highly recommend Pet Passages to anyone in need of pet cremation services. They respected the dignity of our beloved pet and showed us compassion while helping. Thank you, again, Mike and Andrea.
Jeff Cooligan
The passing of Lexi was hard but when she was returned home in a beautiful case with her name I was very happy. The nose and paw prints were much appreciated also.
Jeremy Cummings
Amazing people. Our sweet boy Marley passed and we brought him in we felt cared for. The business was closed but the vet's office caught the owner in the office. He waited for us to arrive and allowed us extra time with Marley. To be shown such care on a very hard day was so appreciated.
Rich C
The folks who run this operation are the most caring and respectful business owners I have ever had an opportunity to work with. They have the technology in place that gives you up to date notifications on the progress of your pet throughout the cremation process. They were very understanding and sympathetic at the time of the loss of my dog. I would definitely recommend their services to friends and family.
Trisha Debacco
We were extremely pleased with Mike and Andrea at Pet Passages. They were very empathetic and provided compassionate and efficient service. We received a beautiful box for our pet's ashes, a ceramic paw print, and a beautiful card of sympathy. I would highly recommend Pet Passages
Annie
Losing a pet is a pain like none other, but Pet Passages certainly helped to take some of the initial discomfort away. We chose to say goodbye to our beloved Boxer at home, and Pet Passages was generous to open after hours for us to bring her there. They have a beautiful facility that matches the kindness of Mike & Andrea. We have worked with other cremation facilities in the past, and we would by far recommend Pet Passages over any others.
Sam I Am
We lost our pet suddenly, and discovered Pet Passages in a Google search. Kim and the staff were sooooo professional and caring. They guided us through the process with care & compassion. Losing a pet, a member of the family, is never easy. We got our kitty back the next day, and his urn and remembrance cards were absolutely beautiful. Thank you again!
Sarah Smith
Pet Passages was a great company to work with during the difficult time of saying goodbye to our wonderful lab. They listened and answered all the questions that we had. Once the time came, they were extremely helpful and were there when we needed them. I would recommend them to anyone when itโs time for your pet to cross the rainbow bridge.
Rose Marie
This place..... My babies Max & Norman passed. My hearts and my soul....They made this time in our life so much easier. Such sweet people... caring and loving. Such a blessing to have a place like this. They literally are so comforting and get the job done. No question asked they do everything they can to make this hard time as easy as possible. We had our babies picked up from our home and then mailed back. 2 days and they were back with us.Excellent establishment & excellent people! Highly recommend!Thank you guys from the bottom of our heart.Nicholas & Rose Graham
Suzanne Herko-Tordai
We could not have chosen a better place for our two dogs Bear and Onyx. Mike and Andrea went above and beyond and made the best of a difficult situation. We will always remember the compassion that was shown to our family at Pet Passages. They both are truly amazing people and love what they do.
Maribeth Wilke
Pet Passages had such great respect and beautiful care when our furry family member left us. Not only did they provide such a comfort with their service, they also did so in a very timely manner.
Donna Reuter
I have had several of my beloved pets cremated at Pet Passages. They treat your pet as well as yourself with love and respect through the whole process. You are constantly informed all through the process. I high recommend Pet Passages.
Sandra O
I have had many pets cremated by Pet Passages over the last 20+ years. They have always been efficient and timely in getting my beloved baby's ashes back to me.
Alison Bottone
If you are looking for an experience that honors your family member, I highly recommend Pet Passages. The extras really made a difference, and we were lucky enough to not be in a crisis situation so that we could take in the experience with love and support by others. Should we ever need such a service like this one, I would not hesitate to choose this service again.

I had to put down my 150 lb. Rottie, who could not walk anymore, and I didn't know how i was going to get her to the vet. Then someone told me that there are companies that will come to your house, that's when I found Pet Passages. I can't say enough about how wonderful Pet Passages is! They made a traumatic experience much easier on both me and my dog. I would highly recommend this company!!!
Tasha Graham
Pet Passages took great care of my baby Kaiser. I received his nose and paw ink print in addition to a beautiful box with his name on it. My baby was ready to come home in two days. They were kind, helpful and understanding during this difficult time. Until I see you again, you are missed, my baby Kaiser xoxoxoxo
Michele โlovejackpearlโ Johansson
Pet Passages was absolutely wonderful. It was an extremely difficult time for our family. Mike Harris and staff were kind, understanding and compassionate. I give them the highest of recommendations and thanks.
Neal Dog
Very classy establishment. Mike is a blessing, made a very difficult time a bit easier. We lost our dog of 15 years recently. Pet passages is highly recommended by us to help you through a difficult time. We received our pets remains back in the most beautiful little urn. Thank you Mike again to you and your staff.Neal K
Martha Macdonald
I highly recommend Pet Passages! Michael was OUTSTANDING!!!The facility was beyond my imagination. Bottom line, Pet Passages treats you and your pet with up most respect.I can't thank you enough for your compassion for myself and Mona!Kind Regards,Martha

Under the circumstances of a lost pet, we had a wonderful experience here. Their kindness and patience, was just what we needed. Thank you! -Caylee S.
Stacey Romano
The compassion and care during the entire process was felt. This is one of the hardest things you have to do and they make sure you and your fur family member are treated with care. We had Ginger back home very quickly. Thank you.
Sandy Drew
I am so thankful for Pet Passages during the recent loss of our dog Jessie. Mike and the Pet Passages team were very respectful and kind during a very difficult time for our family. I would highly recommend Pet Passages to any pet owner that wants to memorialize their pet's life in this way.
Christopher Joyce
Before my dog had passed I hadn't considered this part of the transition. We were crushed as the news came out of no where for us. Mike did a great job for us, provided quick service, with updates every step of the way. We had our pup back in our house the very next day. It gave our family comfort that in some way shape or form our dog never spent a day without us. Thanks a lot to Pet Passages. I can't speak highly enough about them.
Andrea Interlicchia
On one of the most difficult days in my life Pet Passages showed complete compassion. Pet Passages provided a beautiful loving environment for us to be able to say goodbye to our family dog Smokey.
Karen Pinkney
I have nothing but good to say about Mike and Pet Passages. He was helpful and compassionate, and even waited for me to get there late in the day after I had to put my little dog, Emmie, to sleep. It is so hard to say goodbye to our fur kids, but Mike helped me through the process nicely. The velvet pouch in the beautiful box engraved with Emmie's name, along with the footprint, the heart shaped wildflower seed piece, and the Rainbow Bridge story have all helped during this difficult time. Thank you Mike Harris and Pet Passages.
Mindy Aschman
Mike was called to my home twice. I had arranged for services before my dog was seen by the vet. The vet thought she could be treated so I had to cancel but he'd already arrived but was happy for me that her life was extended for a time. When she was euthanized he and his assistant came ASAP and couldn't have been kinder or more understanding of my distress. I would highly recommend Pet Passages services.
Tammi Ingerham
When my Buddy passed, I was heartbroken and wasn't sure were I would come up with the money to bring my baby home. A friend suggested Pet Passages and when I spoke to Mike, he was very understanding and empathetic. He told he would pick Buddy that day and let me know when he had arrived. Every step of the way Mike let me know what was going on. I felt at ease for the first time since Buddy had passed. Within about 24 hours I had my baby back home were he belonged. I will never use anyone else when that time comes again. I would recommend them to all family,friends and colleagues ( I work at a puppy daycare), 100%. Thank you Mike for making this difficult time a little less heartbreaking.
Kaitlyn Snyder
Absolutely recommend Pet Passages. I was an absolute wreck with the loss of my cat, they showed true compassion and care for me and I canโt thank them enough. Itโs not an ideal situation, but they truly went above and beyond to comfort me.
JA Cotton
I was very happy with the services and flexibility provided when I had to unexpectedly euthanize my beloved senior Pomeranian, Martha. Their office followed up with me a.s.a.p. and made arrangements for me to come by (my preference) to drop her off. They were kind, polite, and compassionate. Will definitely use their services again when it's time for our second dog to cross the rainbow bridge.
Paulina Anderson
We have gone to Pet passages for all of our animals. They treated us with so much respect and our pets with dignity. I felt comfortable knowing my pets last moments in physical form were well taken care of. They cried with me and allowed me to tell them stories and videos and make me smile for a few moments sharing my pet with them. thank you Pet passages <3
Riley Churchill
Pet Passages did an awesome job honoring our girl Maci who left us after 13 years. I would recommend them anytime.
Victoria Schrader
Andrea was an angel sent to me at a very sad and horrible time! She made herself available when I needed her and helped me through this and sent my wonderful dog, Penny to the rainbow bridge with dignity and care. Wonderful place to say good bye with caring people! Thank you
James
If you're reading this you're already aware of how hard this process can be. This is probably the final decision you'll make on behalf of your pet. I didn't take that lightly and I did alllllllll the research and it paid off. Mike and Andrea are the perfect blend of professionals and pet owners who care as much as you do. Thank you Pet Passages for the great service (during a heavy NY blizzard) in taking care of our Chase.
Emily Duffy
The woman I worked with on my petโs cremation was incredibly kind and helpful. She even made sure that for the fur clippings she got all three different colors that my pet had, which meant a lot to me. If youโre in the unfortunate situation where youโve lost your pet, I would definitely recommend coming here. They do a good job working with you to make sure youโre getting everything you want/need.
Marcia Smith
In May, we lost our beautiful 15 year old cat Herman. Pet Passages was wonderfully kind and even came to our home to pick up his remains for cremation. Then, only 19 short days later, sadly we had to say good-bye to Herman's brother, Sherman. Sherman had been on medication for hypothyroidism and diabetes for three years. Unfortunately he succumbed to ketoacidosis and we had to let him go. In both cases, Pet Passages was sympathetic, kind and extremely thoughtful with the care of our boys after their passing. We really felt like they honored their lives and understood the depth of our pain. We highly recommend them to anyone considering cremation of their pets. Although we would prefer not to have to use them again, noone wants to think about losing their pets, we certainly would if a time comes and they're needed.
Colleen Seeley
My experience with Mike and his team was unexpected and brief and during a very difficult time, but, through my grief, Mike's compassion and dedication to helping grieving families shown through.I was treated with sincere support and empathy and more importantly my beautiful baby boy was treated with respect and care.He made a difficult process simple and just a little bit easier because of his genuine compassion.
Kayleigh Torres
I canโt begin to explain the closure Pet Passages allowed us to feel after the loss of our much loved Parrot, Kiki. Having the beautiful footprint and poem to go along with our engraved box was the best! We had a great experience from start to finish and would highly recommend!
Carla Grubbs
They go above and beyond to make sure that your fur baby is properly taken care of and that you are satisfied. If you have any problems, they accommodate you in any way they can. I love this place and we'll go back to you in the future if I ever need to use their services again.
Noreen Rossi
I love having Buddyโs name on the box. Lovely box too. Iโm glad my vet changed to you because the little extras are great, like the paw prints and the heart shaped flower. I also love the piece about the Rainbow bridge.Thank you. Very referent and respectful.
PAM'S WORLD
My husband David took our boy Weezer to be creamated today. He felt Mike's compassion as soon as he walked in the door. He made what is a horrible day easier to deal with because of the kindness he showed. The experience was peaceful and done just the way we had requested. I would highly recommend them for anyone who is unfortunate to lose a pet and wants to always have their precious baby with them forever. Our Weezer was almost 19 years old , he was born on October 30 2001 and sadly passed June 26 2020, we are so grateful to Pet Passages and especially Mike who treated Weezer with dignity and care. Thank God a place like this exists so that grieving pet parents can have their babies home with them. Thank you.
Tammy Oleary
I wouldn't go any place else. Found them when my girl passed away, the other place couldnt accommodate at that time. They went above and beyond not just with service and price. The private room to say our last good byes and the compassion theyshowed was truly appreciated. It truly was a much better experience then the other place, treated with compassion and care not just as customers
Melissa B

faith poole
Thank you so much. I never expected what you did for my Sam. He was my pal, my protector, and my best friend. We adopted him the same year my Mom passed and her nickname was Sam. I miss him terrible but he has his own place of honor now for being the best dog one could find

Everyone we spoke with at Pet passages was very accommodating, timely, understanding and truly kind during this dreadfully sad time for our family. It helped to feel they understood our feelings and the experience.

I don't have the precise words to describe my experience. Great professionalism and sensitivity would be an understatement to describe how they take care of clients.They exceed any possible expectation. Andrea and staff are a true gift. Highly reccomended.
