Pet's After Life Services

About one year ago , my dog , companion , and hiking partner ... went out on the first hike of the spring . Dewey lagged behind a bit and i ended up carrying him the last section of the hike . This was his way of signaling to me that he was slowing down after nearly 10 years of activity and by Christmas he was even more reduced . Eventually in early March of 2021 he was in peril resulting in his death . After endless tears and inconsolable grief i realized that i needed to get him cremated and looked to a friend for advice . She suggested Pets After Life Services in Portage ,Pa. Other than my accepting care of Dewey 10 years ago , this was the best decision of my recent life . I spoke with Dawn on the phone at 9:00 am , Dewey has passed around 4:00 am that same morning and had him in their care by 10:00 am . I then was able to pick up his remains by 12:00 the next day . Having been very overprotective of that little dog it was somehow very comforting to hand him over to Dawn . She is the perfect person for this job and made all my cremation decisions easy to understand . The prices are extremely reasonable . Besides an urn , you get some extra presentable documents. Having chosen to get him cremated individually with the options being fairly extensive i was very satisfied . Let me say this ... if you have lost a pet and want to bypass all the traps at a time like this and avoid the feeling of being taken while being grief stricken ... talk to Dawn at Pets After Life Services in Portage ,Pa . Having Dewey back home with me has made an immeasurable difference in my grief healing and you will feel so much better knowing your pet was treated with respect . Peace of mind is worth everything !!!

When my stepdaughter lost her childhood pet. Pets Afterlife came to the house picked her dog up and delivered him in a very nice urn, along with a certificate and a rainbow bridge card. They care caring and compassionate. Dawn was so nice and kept asking if we were ok and if there was anything else we needed. I hope to not have to use a pet cremation service for a long time but when I do, I will call them.nud83dudc3e❤ufe0f Pets will leave a forever paw print in your heart

This is the third time using this company- through my vets office. I can’t say enough good things. We’ve always been treated with nothing but compassion and respect. I am at ease knowing my babies are treated respectfully at the end. When you talk to them on the phone, you can feel the warmth though the phone. They are genuinely care and sympathize with you, even though they have to deal with it so often.

This is our second time dealing with PALS. (unfortunately) First time, our dog Spazzy got hit by a car, and PALS delivered his remains to us within a day or 2, in a beautiful urn, with a Rainbow Bridge poem on a laminated thick card, and a certificate of cremation. Our second dealing with them, just in the last few days, was a bit different. We had a very ill cat that we had to have put to sleep. Forest Hills veterinary has an arrangement with PALS that they pick up euthanized pets there and cremate them and deliver them to the pets owner. It was very fast. We had our baby Princie put to sleep at 5pm Wednesday and someone literally just dropped off her remains a few minutes ago (noon on Friday) and she’s now on our mantle with our Spazzy.

Kind, compassionate and dignified... Our dog was picked up from the vet after being put down and promptly returned in a beautiful custom urn. We made the mistake of using another local service and they were a nightmare.nI received a call approximately an hour after our dog was out down explaining the next steps and retrieval.
