Families Who Trusted Us

Real stories from real families we've had the honor of serving.

"We came home to find our cat Max had been killed by a neighbor's dog. It was awful. We called a bunch of places that said they could help, but no one answered - except these guys. They actually picked up the phone and were super nice about everything. We dropped Max off late at night and they walked us through the whole process. They even talked about dealing with grief, which honestly helped more than I expected. We got his ashes back within a week, and it gave us some closure. Can't thank them enough for being there when we needed it."

"Losing our beloved Bichon/Coton De Tulear was devastating, but finding The Paws Tribute was a true blessing. The owner is one of the kindest souls we've met. She took the time to truly share in our grief, sharing her own story of loss which inspired her to start this business. Knowing she opened this space specifically to ensure 'paw lovers' have a respectful, gentle experience made us feel so much better. For a dog under 20lbs, the cost was $300, which included a beautiful urn. My husband and I are so grateful he found this place. If you want your pet to be treated with the dignity they deserve, I sincerely recommend bringing them here."

"I had to find a cremation place last minute because the emergency vet place was gonna charge us double the price, the delivery time was estimated one month, and I wanted to spend at least a little more time and moment with my Boba. That is when I found this place which opens 24-7, extremely flexible, and reasonable price (half of what the vet offered). It took 9 days for him to be ready which is really fast and steady in my opinion. I received the urn and wooden paw ornament which came out beautifully. I trust them in good hands with my baby. Thank you for everything and the final closure I needed :)"
