Our pet passed away on a Saturday night. Our vet had told us that Shoedinger is available on weekends. We called on Sunday morning and were greeted with a human voice. We got directions to the rear entrance for pets, with the paw print heart on the door(see pic). Pet cremation prices are broken into weight groups. You can even book an appointment to be present at the cremation. Services offered vary by price(see 2020 pic of prices). I felt the same condolences for my loss, as if it were a human. They have an understanding of how close a family member your pet was. When business was concluded, our pet was carried in. In 3 business days we received the call that our urn was available for pickup at the Gahanna location. You have the option of choosing where you want to pick up. We received our urn along with a very nice packet of materials(see pic). A form inside was to be filled out and sent back for the included engraved nameplate. It took only 7 days(see pic). In the past we have done this thru our vet and handled in a pet drop off, payment, pickup manner. Nothing special offered. Though IMHO we did not choose a special package. Service, satisfaction, and choices make this a 5 star experience. I would not hesitate to recommend this service to another pet owner during their difficult time. BTW this was all done during the Covid-19 pandemic, and they were extremely cautious for...
Read moreRecently, my husband and I had to say good-bye to our rough-coat Jack Russell Terrier. While our vet does not contract with Schoedinger, they allow their clients to choose whatever funeral service they wish. We requested Shoedinger, as we had been happy with their previous services.
Their services have only improved. They treated Rizzo with the respect she deserved. Individual cremation is standard practice. Your buddy with not be mixed up with the ashes of some unknown critter. They present the ashes (I hate the euphemism, "cremains") to you in a lovely box for which you can order a custom name plate. They provide a booklet containing the "Rainbow Bridge" story, a footprint of your companion, clippings of fur, and some excellent advice and resources for the people left grieving.
Their staff is warm, helpful, and caring. They are also animal lovers, which explains to me why they are so respectful of our companions when their earthly journey is at an end.
I can't recommend them too highly. Schoedinger's pet services...
Read moreOur best friend, SOCKS, passed in his sleep Thursday May 31st. That morning he greeted Andy and went outside to bring in the paper, went to his bed in the closet and never woke up from his nap. It was 7 p.m.,well past normal business hours when we called Schoedinger to arrange pick up. He was treated with respect and care by the driver. The entire staff was sympathetic to our loss and made the arrangements as stress free as possible. A few days later when I went to pick up his ashes the staff was kind and explained everything with patience and understanding. They posted the tribute quickly and even made a change when I made a mistake in the copy. Losing a pet is a painful experience, Schoedinger can be trusted to care for your companion. Our thanks to them for all they did to ease...
