We never want to need a place like Life Tails, but when we do it is so immensely comforting to know…read morethey are around. Our vet (The Visiting Vet) comes to our house for appointments, so when we knew our guy Franks had really just fought his last night with laryngeal paralysis we called her and she agreed to come over that afternoon. Our vet had already made all the arrangements, so we did not have to do any of the work, but Life Tails was truly amazing. After our vet left at 3:45, Life Tails was there by 4:05 to pick Franks up. They were so kind. I had to leave the room because I mentally just could not handle him being taken away, but Mr. MVP said they were very super gentle and made a funny and very helpful comment on how amazing Franks coat is (the gentleman thought Franks was all hair, but this made Mr. MVP laugh because Franks was BIG - 75 pounds big). Life Tails called us just two days later and we were able to pick Franks back up. He came back to us in a wooden box that suits Franks really well. We have used other cremation services in the past and have ended up buying other pottery or boxes, but this box does Franks proud. Some non-pet people may think pet cremation is crazy, but until you have loved and been loved by a dog for 12 years you will not understand how painful it is to have a four legged family member die. Life Tails helps makes this extremely terrible process less so.

This went on all afternoon and finally when we were 2 nd in queue I drove there and waited our turn. my cat started panting because it was warm in the car so I asked if I could him into the cooler building. Right away I was asked to register again and sign a form to stabilize my cat, at an exorbitant cost. I declined because I knew he was just overheated and nervous about being away from home. Long story short, we waited in a cold room for 3 or more hours while we kept being put to the back of the queue and when someone finally came in to discuss my options the cost was sky high for them to run tests on my boy. I opted to leave and make an appointment with my regular vet on Monday. Of course all this ended up costing me $180.00 and change and no help for him. Forgot to add that he was taken from me when we arrived, I wasn't allowed to be with him and they supposedly did an ultrasound on him without asking me if I wanted that done. luckily, I wasn't charged for that. Expect long waits, miscommunication and very high fees.
