Angel Paws Cremation

Losing my cat was so hard. I was in such a haze when the vet asked if I wanted my sweet girl cremated, I just said yes and started my grieving process. I got the call to pick up my sweet girl and was so impressed with the care and love that went into her cremation! The paw print and her little tuff of fur were unexpected and so appreciated. I will recommend their services to everyone I know!

As anyone imagines, the last thing you take joy in is something like cremating a pet. As strange as it sounds to Unilocal about it, I felt compelled to leave feedback.
You can tell they are passionate about being compassionate and are not trying to turn their business into a crazy profit center. Do yourself a favor and give them a call if considering this service.
Thanks for making a difficult process just a little less difficult than it would have been without your help.

I was really impressed with the lovely package provided by Angel Paws. Here’s what I received when I went to pick up my dog’s cremains today:
— Cremated remains in a beautiful wooden box with lock/​key + his nameplate
— A certificate of cremation + two poems (one of which is the Rainbow Bridge, which is sure to melt even the hardest heart)
— His paw print perfectly captured in a plaster mold
— A clipping of his hair in its own separate sealed bag
— A little heart shaped wooden medallion with his name on it
I was also pleased with their service. They called to tell me when he was ready to «go home» and coordinated a pickup time with me. They were easy to work with and it was all very straightforward.

My little girl, Angel Maria Santos passed away on November 23, 2015. As you all know, losing a pet, or more like a bestfriend is not easy, esp if it includes a bond of over 12 ½ years. its only been 4 days since she has passed and I’m still in a lot of pain. Luckily, Angel Paws Pet Cremation made things a lot easier for me. they took good care of my baby girl and returned me 3 days after we had dropped her off. I highly recommend getting the gold package, it includes a paw print from your little furry friend, and even a lock of their fur. I have to be honest, picking her up was the hardest thing to do because it just meant it was totally over. that shes gone): but with the respectable presentation and kind and patience Travis has given me and my little Angel, It made things easier. Thank you so much.

I was treated very compassionately by the owner on the phone and the representatives in person. This is a very good company that you hope you will never have to use.

This place was awful. We were given terrible service.
It’s tough enough when a pet dies. But the situation was made worse by their attitude

We lost our beautiful dog Madie in late June 2015. It’s a terribly painful experience, as most of you know. But I can’t imagine going through this experience in a clinic again, ever — if I have the choice — (it cannot always be helped). Having Madie pass away peacefully at home was such a comfort for my husband and me. Travis at Angel Paws worked completely seamlessly with Transitions Euthanasia Service … he was so wonderful … he arrived quietly after the euthanasia was over, and with the utmost respect, took Madie away. When we got her ashes back, Angel Paws made such a nice presentation of it … a lock of her hair, a paw imprint in a clay disk, and a lovely box with her name inscribed, and her ashes. For all my future pets, I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to use Angel Paws again. I was extremely pleased with (and grateful for) their service.

Well, I wouldn’t say «woohoo,» because we only have to call Angel Paws when we’ve lost a pet. I’ve lost so many cats over the past few years, to old age, coyotes, illness. Heartbreaking. When illness or old age strikes and it’s time to help your beloved pet move on to the next life, the vets from Transitions and Angel Paws are so helpful. I’ve always had good service from Angel Paws, and when Eddie passed away, it was no exception. I’d asked if they could bring his ashes to a nearby vet office for me to pick up since I live in east county. Instead, they sent a driver to deliver them to my house. Nice touch. They did send the clipping of Eddie’s hair, although I had taken one myself to just be sure. And the paw imprint, a certificate, a copy of Rainbow Bridge, a little wooden ornament with Eddie’s name on it. I think they do a really excellent job at a time when people can’t stand to be burdened with one more disappointment.

Take a clipping of your pets hair yourself, I did not get one of my Dingo. Nice customer service, I had to find this out the hard way myself at home when I opened the bag. Called this morning to find out yes, they did not get a clipping for me. I am devastated. Thank you angel paws.
Ps thanks again, just woke up at 5 am having nightmares about the way my boy was transported. Not sure if you guys realize he was more than a dog to me, but he was. Not a pretty image I have, I won’t share it but I can’t go back to sleep now.

Wow! Today, with the unbearable sorrow got our forever in our hearts’ Ziba back, in ashes! Thank you for all the respectful and beautiful arrangements to take care of our precious.

I utilized Angel Paws, as well as one of their recommended in-​home euthanasia vets, last week when I had to put my 15-​year old dog down. The vet was wonderful, and showed great sympathy when speaking to me about my dog. She explained the entire process so there would be no surprises and showed great care and compassion when dealing with my dog and made it as painless as possible, for both of us. Once she completed her part, Chris from Angel Paws was waiting outside and he took over immediately. Once again, he showed great sympathy, and exhibited extreme professionalism when handling my dog. He was professional during my entire time with him, and explained exactly what would happen next and when I could expect my dog’s remains. I received my dog’s remains earlier than expected and was very happy with the way it was received. The ashes came in a beautiful box, and my kids absolutely loved the paw prints because they could actually touch them. The small details are awesome as well, such as the name plate on the box, the wooden name tag on the bag, and many other details. This company takes the time to make sure their customers are well taken care of. I will definitely recommend Angel Paws to my friends and family. Thank you.

I had been doing research on pet cremation before my furry family member had passed and Angel Paws has a great reputation. Knowing that the owner is former law enforcement and why he decided to go into this business also made me feel good about using this company. What I received in return was even more than expected. They put a lot of attention to little details and it was moving to go through the package. I will be referring friends and family here for when they lose their furry loved ones as well. Thank you Angel Paws for the service and integrity that you provide from a dispatch member of the law enforcement family.

I will take my pets to Angel Paws because of the outstanding support and service we received with our pet. They exceeded our expectations.

I worked at a animal hospital that uses this company and professionally speaking I know they have integrity and respect. Personally I lost two dogs back to back and the day my second dog died my dear friends did too. I requested that my friends dog and mine stayed side by side and they honored our dog’s remains as requested. Travis, Mike, and Chris you are simply amazing and I thank you from the bottom of my heart

I can’t even say enough about this place. We have lost one cat and two dogs in the past 2 years. Angel Paws has been there for us above and beyond. They are compassionate and understanding. Sadly, all our pets fell ill during the weekend or after hours and we were able to get these guys to help us anyway. We live 45 minutes from Angel Paws and with traffic, we were not sure if we were going to make their business hours. They went out of their way to wait for us and accommodate our time line. Their staff was professional, courteous, and more than eager to assist me with all the questions and requests I had. They gave me all the details I needed on the phone and went over everything again when we were there. I am extremely thankful for this company and appreciate all they do!!! If I could give them 10 stars, I would.

So let me start off by saying that I rarely leave reviews for businesses. The only reason I am not giving this place 5 stars is because when I called the first time they didn’t answer. 3 months later I tried calling again and asked if I exhumed my dog would they cremate her (we were moving and refused to leave her there) so we dug up the bag we put her in, placed her in a cooler and brought her in, they cremated her and gave us a cedar box with her remains. Super respectful, great customer service and you can tell they really care. Thank you!

These guys were able to come to my house quickly after my dog Sonora passed away last June. She was a large dog (90 lbs) and I needed to get her situated in a timely manner. My wife and I were happy with the oak urn they provided us, along with the lock of fur and paw print. I though their prices were reasonable.

Word of caution about this business, regardless of how distraught you are over the death of your pet, please ask the worker what is the price of their services. Although all 3 employees were pleasant on the phone or in person, I was offered a free service item over the phone by one employee only to not receive any discount by the owner himself. I was quoted over the phone a $ 90 fee to pick up my dead dog from my home. I declined and brought her to them. After taking my name and address on their form no mention of pricing for the services I wanted only to pick her remains up later with a $ 340.00 price tag. So much for the free service of seeing my dog placed in their incinerator. I’ve had her for 16 years so I wanted to make sure it was her that was being cremated and not somebody else’s dog. Just please people ask what their price is even though you feel really down due to the death of your pet. Oh yeah and ask for a receipt because the owner won’t give you one. I had to call later after the shock subsided to request a receipt from him. Still waiting on it.

I usually don’t go out of my way to write a review for any business but i feel I would be doing a great disservice to the pet owner community if I don’t share my recent experience with this business. I recently had to euthanize my dog of 14 years and was recommended this place by Transitions in Linda Vista. After my dog passed he was transferred to Angel Paws and I contacted them to get details on their services and to set up an appointment to be present at my dog’s cremation. Their staff was professional, courteous, and more than eager to assist me with all the questions and requests I had. I really felt as though I was the only customer they had for the whole month because the service was really above and beyond what I expected! I had a private cremation and was able to observe that it was *my* dog that was being cremated, a VERY big concern of mine, so I was sure that what I was receiving was indeed my dog’s remains. Shortly after, I received his remains in an awesome cedar box with a paw print, keepsake, lock of hair, couple poems and a cremation certificate. I’ve never had any of my past pets cremated so I have not been to any other pet crematory, however, after this experience I have absolutely no reason to venture out and try any other place. I live about 40 minutes away so it was quite a drive but it was very well worth it. I highly recommend this place to everyone in need of their services! And if the staff is reading this right now I want to thank you again for everything you’ve done for me and my dog. I couldn’t possibly ask for more!

We lost our beloved Barkley on June 4^th. We just received him back today and we are beyond grateful for what Angel Paws put together for us. My Husband and my kids and I opened everything all together and it’s just amazing what they did for us. We were crying all together looking at his paw print and lock of hair and the beautiful cedar box that our Barkley is in. Also the poems are so thoughtful and beautiful. Thank you Angel Paws for getting our Barkley back to us so quick and for the beautiful memories that are all put together. He is home with us forever. Thank you.
