I was blessed to have had that once in a life time pet who was more than a pet. He was a companion…read morewho served as a psychoanalyst when one was needed and whose innate ability to provide love exceeded any expectations that we as humans can place on others. Wesley was his name. He was a rescued Cocker Spaniel so his age was a great unknown; an estimate; a good guess from veterinarians. But as 2017's New Year's Eve celebrations settled down it was a good guess that Wesley at his youngest was 15 and at his oldest around 17. It didn't matter which number you chose because when the human versus dog year calculation is made it meant that Wes was over 100 with less days to go than days he had travelled with me. As with any aging pet one notices the slow down ... one mourns the missing spryness and energy that used to fill each day while celebrating the occasional rear view mirror days when our pets out of nowhere act just as they did in their youth. That was Wesley. But, Wesley never stopped knowing the importance of sitting close to me during my down days but also of wagging his tail and almost smiling during sporting events when my cheers indicated that our teams (Buffalo-based primarily) were winning (Since they were Buffalo-based the frequency was not as we both wanted.). The awakening occurred as April melted into May. He was really slowing down ... then he was hardly eating ... and finally I knew; he knew; and we spent his last evening and night together as friends. I was fortunate enough that he crossed the proverbial Rainbow Bridge in the night at home in the midst of sleep and peace near me. But, on the evening before Wes died we started to look at 'crematoriums' for pets together. Ok, I know that sounds strange but I knew he was going so I talked to him. Frankly, the YELP reviews of southern New Jersey facilities greatly disappointed me because none seen to indicate anything more than a processing center but then I read the reviews for this special place. The night that Wes died I called Delaware Pet Crematorium but it was "after hours" so I left a message. Less than an hour later Rob, the owner, called me back. I inundated him with questions about why he was in the business, what did he do with pets that people didn't want back, etc.. I needed to know if this was the place for me to bring my friend, companion, and family member to be cared for. The phone conversation convinced me. So, we drove across state borders to Wilimington and I will admit that industrial park where Delaware Pet is located almost caused me to turn around but I am glad I didn't. I walked into an incredibly peaceful office setting that was tranquil in its carefully thought out design. This was a place I could mourn ... this was a place I could entrust Wesley to. The young woman who has worked there for years showed great compassion to me and her dog Gwen brought me her toy and kissed me to let me know all was alright. They offered to carry Wes in but I did however in the transfer of Wes' body to their hands I saw love and respect for my dead dog. They valued a life that they had never known. They treated his body as if Wes was their dog. The options were explained ... and then the wait. I received a call that Wesley was ready. There was Gwen wagging her tail, the entire package of urns/memorials was better than expected. But what really impressed me was the young man who had just helped me bring Wesley in spotted me (Now, I didn't say when I was coming in so they could not prep for my arrival.) and said they had made sure Wesley was cared for in the way I wanted. I cried again both in sorrow at my loss but in joy that I had found the right people to care for my pet's body ... his soul was already romping and barking with all the other dogs on the other side. I would drive hundreds of miles to bring a pet here ... I told them that I hope I don't need to see them for years but I know that they are there. They have a website, www.theanimalsoul.com, which may explain the why's but if you are in South Jersey, the Delaware Valley, or Maryland and you lose a loved pet that you want to remember with love ... this is the only choice; you will feel loved. I can't say enough about them!

I asked her advice on cremation services because it is February and the ground is frozen. She highly recommended Royal Pet. I called them to explain my situation and I spoke with both Earl and Kathy (the owners). They were extremely professional, patient, and kind answering all of my questions because I was clueless on the process. We made the arrangements and I traveled with my dog to Wilmington. I wanted a private cremation. Earl met us there and took care of everything. I was impressed with how clean and professional the building was. I felt like I was in a scaled down, simpler funeral home for pets. Earl was very helpful and understanding of my "state". I wasn't quite with it. I felt very comfortable hearing how they came to be in this business, going through the ugly, dark process themselves when they lost a beloved animal. They saw a need for a respectful and ethical option. That is truly what they have created with this business. You can just immediately feel that they are going to treat you and your animal's "remains" respectfully. I cannot believe there are no other reviews for this place on here already. If you have the misfortune of needing this type of service, I cannot recommend them highly enough. They made such a dark day in my life a bit easier to deal with.

They promised same day service and I paid for it but early afternoon when I called for pick up-they said they were closed and wouldn't be available. When they finally made time to show up, the man Earl was rude. He became defensive and argumentative. He said he was working at his auto shop down the street and acted as if my pets cremation was an inconvenience for him. I didn't feel comfortable around him. I was devastated and upset but that doesn't give them the right to take advantage of the situation. I noticed that this man and woman actually had an old car and "racing fuel" sitting literally right beside the cremation machine. This can't be safe and I wish I would of never met these individuals. I was trying to cope and deal with a heartbreaking situation- they gave my family and I unnecessary stress and frustration. I miss my buddy every day and every day I can't wait for them to get the Karma they deserve. The county stated they didn't have a valid licence and the facility was not up to code.

So we did. We could not have been more grateful with how they handled things. They were able to get a vet out to us that night to care for our beloved Shelby. Amanda was so empathetic and professional from my first tearful phone call to the post care following the procedure to picking up her ashes in Malvern. The vet (who I think may have been the owner I don't recall his name) showed up at the time we agreed upon and handled everything with professionalism, dignity, and grace for Shelby. They had the right tone. The right balance of helpful suggestions and space. The right approach to ending her life.
