13 years ago we lost Doobie 6 years old to cancer. My 2 1/2 year old grand daughter Lilli had been his hospice nurse. I said never again!! 6 months later Scooby maybe 1 year old was rescued. Chris saved him from drowning in a retention pond near their business. Chris, Jenny and boys named him ACE. Animal Control Escapee. They lived at end of my street. A week later he is at our house. He was a work in progress with the grandchildren. He loved everyone. People, dogs, cats. Bark loud to say HI. He would sit at end of driveway and stare at Chris and Jenny’s house, never would leave the yard. He did that , we did not train him. They moved 7 years ago. Walk the block no leash. Loved car rides. Pup cups. Girls at Chix fil A loved him. Loved his stuffed frogs and blankets. Wonderful support thru my cancer treatment. He was Amazing. Nov 29th he was diagnosed with mouth cancer. It was suggested I let him go that day. I had to bring him home. Good byes were hard. Family and friends. Lilli sat days with him. Cooper slept with him. Dec 4 go outside for morning routine. He had not walked any great distance in a while. He walked to Chris and Jenny’s old house. No leash he was determined to go there. We came home and I was on a mission to find them. I did. Took Scooby to see them. Gently they tell me about their business Animal Kingdom Pet Services. They offered when the time came they would take Scooby. Due to circumstances I could not use the Vet they use. Chris came to my house Dec 12 when we said our final Good Bye. Scooby started with them and ended with them. I had a lot peace knowing them and their love of all things living. Dignity, love, patience. Scooby is with Doobie waiting for us. Missing my...
Read moreI cannot say enough good things about Animal Kingdom Pet Services. We had an appointment with Lap of Love at 2:00pm and I did not know how long the process would take. I called multiple times leading up to the appointment to communicate questions to them. Jenny I think it was answered the phone and her voice was so calm and reassuring. I told them we might arrive close to their closing time and she told me there was no need to rush.
Upon arrival, we were greeted by Catherine. She was great to work with as well and provided clear instructions for us on handling our beloved Gidget's remains.
After handing over the remains, we waited for Catherine to do the invoice and complete the payment process. While we waited, Chris sat and talked with us. He is an obvious animal lover and has experienced this pain many times. This was my wife and I's first time dealing with an animal death and it was very difficult on us. Chris sat and basically gave us a free therapy session while we waited. When we got back into my truck, my wife looked at me and said, "Can we just come back here once a week and talk with him?".
Losing our beloved furbaby is absolutely the hardest thing we have ever done. Animal Kingdom Pet Services has a high star review for a reason and it is why we chose them. I can't say enough good things about them and highly...
Read moreI am devastated over the loss of my cat Whacko, but the staff at Animal Kingdom Pet Services helped me through this tragedy with endless empathy and compassion. They spoke with me over the phone in the last hours of my pet's life, when I was absolutely hysterical, and were so kind, patient, and gentle in talking me through each of the packages they offer. You can tell when a business is owned by animal lovers, they really understand what you're going through when you're losing your furry best friend. The staff even retrieved my beloved pet's remains from the veterinarian's office free of charge. Their bereavement packages are presented beautifully and the staff really listens and relates to you about your feelings of grief and loss. My package included a cherrywood container for my pet's ashes with a place for a photo, some clippings of my gorgeous kitty's fur, and a wonderful clay disc where they made an imprint of my baby's pawprint (as well as very kind bereavement letters and wildflower seed bookmarks). They handled everything with the utmost respect and care. Thank you, Animal Kingdom Pet Services, for making one of the worst days of my life just a little better knowing I have preserved my pet's memory in a...
