I have been referred to your company by a friend, neighbor, or relative. Can I bring my pet directly to you for aquamation?

Always With Us does not take in any pets directly, on-site. Euthanasia service is offered in the comfort of your home for the well-being of your pet. This can take place inside your home, in your yard, or even at a nearby park or beach. Pick-up service is available if your pet has already passed. We can pick up from you, or we can help you arrange for us to pick up at your local vet’s office.

My pet passed away at home, what do I do?

Decomposition starts immediately after death. Place your beloved pet on a nonporous surface or use towels or potty pads under them to avoid leakage of bowels/urine and occasionally blood. Keep them cool, indoors, and away from pests and scavengers. If it is going to be more than a few hours before you are able to arrange for transportation, placing them into a freezer or refrigerator is best if it is a possibility.

I used your service for aftercare but I have not received my pets ashes back yet.

My service takes about three weeks. You can call, text, or email me anytime for an update. If you chose priority shipping, you will receive an email and a text when your pet has shipped, along with tracking information. You may also click on the link at the top of the page that says Status Updates to check on your pet any time during the process.

As an additional resource and perhaps some help through this difficult time….

I know this isn’t for everyone, but if you are struggling with the loss of your companion and feel that being able to reconnect would be beneficial for your healing, I highly recommend Kelly Fisher. She is a reputable, accurate, and very personable medium who is able to connect with those who have passed. We all know that our pets are not just animal companions, they are our best friends, members of our family, and sometimes the most important beings in our life. Struggling with their loss is often more difficult for people than losing an actual family member. Our “pets” are with us through our most vulnerable times and offer us unconditional love. The bond goes beyond any other. Kelly is able to help you reconnect when you feel like you need clarity or a chance to say goodbye one more time or if you need help knowing what to look for when your pet shows you that they truly are always by your side. https://socalmedium.com
