Until I see you again my beloved Savannah.

Having to let your pet go is a devastating & heartbreaking event. While nothing can change that I will say that I know I made the right choice with Gentle pet crossings in Lakeworth. Compassion across the board. Dr. Diane Gersten came to my home and felt more like a friend than a stranger leaving me with big hug that I genuinely needed.

I would highly recommend their services, I didn't want to stress my girl out with a trip to the vet, they came to my house and made the whole experience as pleasant as it could be under the circumstances, everyone was as nice and accommodating as I could of hope for. Would definitely use them again if needed, but hopefully won't need them for a long time.

My 17 year old Puggle Cookie got suddenly ill she had a stroke in her right eye she was blind, deaf, and could barely walk. We had to make a very difficult family decision. I called on a Saturday morning and spoke to Steele, he was very comforting and accommodating he scheduled my appointment for the very next morning. Steele explained step-by-step exactly what was going to happen and how the procedure would go. He was very reassuring and comforting during my time of need. Sunday morning Dr. Rachel came to my home. She was a very wonderful doctor, very professional and explained step-by-step. What she was going to do. She greeted my baby and sat with her, stroking her talking to her, loving her. We were all sobbing she was so gentle and my Cookie didn't even flinch when she received the first twilight sedation. We waited about 20 minutes. We all were able to say goodbye and spend time and then Dr. Rachel gave her the IV injection. The whole procedure took about an hour and a half from start to finish. It was the most beautiful way to say goodbye privately in my home with respect, dignity, and compassion. I received cookies remains and keepsake about one week after and we are all at peace with this decision. I highly recommend gentle pet crossing and give them five stars. Thank you so much for the most beautiful experience.

Savannah

Last week it became clear that our almost 16 y/o Maltese Savannah was failing. People say you know when your dog is suffering and it's true. I stopped at Gentle Pet based on a previous call and recommendation from a friend. I met with Juanique. They are by appt. She was so lovely and helpful. I booked an appt. for my girl to be put to sleep at home. The next day she got even worse and they were so accommodating to move her up. Dr Racheal came to our home. She was so lovely and we took our girl out to her favorite spot and she was kindly & warmly put to sleep in our arms. I felt at such peace. It was as good as could possibly be expected. She took our girl with her and I picked up her ashes today. Dr Racheal was so caring and wonderful. LI had the experience of putting my last Maltese at the vet. But Savannah hated the vets office so I needed another option. This is the way to go. They are all so lovely, kind and helpful during one of the toughest thins we have been through.

I want to express my deepest gratitude to Gently Pet Crossing for their exceptional compassion and professionalism. This is my second time using their services--my first was on March 27, 2023, when I said goodbye to my beloved dog Leo. Because of the care they showed back then, I knew I could trust them again when it was time to say farewell to my sweet Beija. Juan was the person who came to pick up Beija, and he was incredibly kind, respectful, and gentle. He treated her with so much dignity, and that brought me a great sense of peace during such a difficult moment. His compassion truly meant the world to me. I also want to thank Jacque and Juanique, the owner, for their support, patience, and understanding. Their warmth and professionalism make this painful process a little easier, and I am deeply grateful for the way they care for both the pets and the people who love them. Thank you, Gently Pet Crossing, for once again being there when my heart needed it most. You are a blessing to families like mine.

Better days with my perfect baby boy!  Señor!

First of all, I'm so sorry you're looking for pet cremation. It was the most awful week that I can remember while losing our beloved pet. I had chosen to search aquamation because I couldn't stand the thought of my beautiful baby's fur being burned. These people at Gentle pet crossing were responsive, I was able to text, change my mind and end up there a day later, they were gentle with me, understanding, beyond kind and accommodating for us to arrive at 7:30 pm and have our time, and extra time to say good bye to our Señor. It was funeral, we did not know. Being your family and friends who also want to say goodbye. In the end I was happy it was just Señor and his mom and dad. It was affordable and the perfect ending to a life of love and service from our baby boy!

One of my last photos is Lucy.

I had met Jackie from Gentle Pet Crossing at various business and social events and was very impressed with her compassion and empathy. When it was time for 13 year old Lucy to cross the Rainbow Bridge, I knew who to call. A vet came to the house to administer the two shots. She was amazing. Lucy was comfortable, in her home, with everyone she loved. About a week later, Jackie called and I went and picked up Lucy's ashes in a beautiful box. Also got a clay paw print, a certificate, and a tuft of her hair. Euthanizing a dog has to be one of the hardest things to do, but Gentle Pet Crossing made it bearable. I highly recommend this business.

See all

Monarch Pet Memorial Services is the only place that does it at this time here in South Florida. You can go to their website to learn more about Aquamation. It is quiet, gentle, low impact-green (enviro-friendly) without flames like traditional cremation. I am very glad I chose Monarch and they do partner with Lap of Love. I knew my baby was in good hands. The customer service was superb and they focus on treating your pet like family, with respect and integrity. They were easy to reach on the phone when I had questions. I then chose Monarch again for my forever foster Santo and they picked him up at my vet. I will always be using Monarch. Very highly recommend. 5 stars.

You enter their lobby which looks like a fast-food pick up place with bodies packaged up and ready for pick up. Who came up with this idea? Someone who does not understand what the feeling of deep sorrow and grief means. My husband and I brought our fur baby personally to them and asked a number of times to return to us all her belongings ie the little coffin and the zipped cover which her body was wrapped in. We put her name on both to make sure they get returned to us. We were assured that everything will be returned and they would keep us informed throughout the process. Nobody kept us informed. Only after my husband called them, they informed us that she was being "processed"! For a week no other info. We called again "ah yes, you can pick her up". We came to pick her up and were faced with yet another disappointment - they just threw away the zip cover. The manager said she was sorry but they could not do anything. Nobody told them that we wanted the cover! Really!? I requested she reviews her security camera which would confirm how many times we repeated our wishes. The cover was gone but they offered a memorabilia instead. How awefully nice of you. The manager was trying in a typical materialistic, despicable way replace something priceless with cheap memorabilia they sell. At this point I don't even know if our fur baby is in the urn. Having seen the type of personnel they have in this place, them just throwing away the previous cover in spite of our explicit request to get it back and having spoken to the manager of this fast-food place with $$ signs in her eyes, I doubt the quality of the services they provide. You have ZERO guarantee that you get YOUR baby back. It is very sad that people make money off of death like this.

From the very beginning, they made sure not only that Dirk was being cared for, but that I was supported as well during a very difficult time. Every interaction felt thoughtful and genuine. The staff took the time to answer questions, walk me through options, and ensure I felt informed and not alone in the decisions I had to make. What meant the most to me, though, was what happened after. I received (handwritten) signed condolence cards from their staff. That small but meaningful gesture spoke volumes about the kind of people they are. It showed that they truly care - not just about the pets they treat, but about the families who love them. Even though this was an incredibly hard experience, I'm grateful that Dirk and I were surrounded by people who treated us with such kindness and respect. Thank you for taking care of him, and for taking care of me.
