I found this company off putting. My dog's cremation was coordinated through Lap of Love. When I…read morepaid for everything in full, I was told the options for getting the ashes were pick up from my vet, USPS to my home, or pick up from the crematorium directly. ALL included in my paid in full price. The only option they did say would be an up charge, is hand delivery to my home. I chose to pick up from the crematorium directly. What particularly bothered me is there is no information for this place provided when you make the selection and pay for it. I was emailed at 3:59PM on Tuesday saying my dog was ready for pickup, that they ONLY allow pick ups between 2PM and 4:30PM Tuesdays and Thursdays but they can hand deliver for $80 or USPS for $40. USPS should have been a free option considering how I paid. It came off as very money hungry and they just want you to pay $80 more. I also spent $200 on a custom urn elsewhere because I did not like what I was shown is provided. I had no idea they offer other options until I arrived to pick up the ashes. The person at the place gave his condolences, but was also very cold and transactional with both me and the person ahead of me. I imagine they get a decent amount of business from their business relationship with lap of love, if they go through making a portal for your pet it would have been nice to show the urn options etc.

Gave updates with pictures which was great. Very convenient. They worked well with my very nervous dog. Cons: Not the best communication in terms of updating when pickup was taking place. They give you an estimated time window for pickup and say they will contact you closer to the time window to give you a more specific pickup time. I had to call two different times and speak to 5-6 people on their after hours answering service in order to find out there was a 2-3 day delay on what was supposed to be the day of my pickup. I eventually was placed in contact with management and they were great. The delay itself is understandable, but it would have been ideal to have been given a heads up beforehand.

Blue Collar Pet Transport -- 1 star…read more I hired Blue Collar Pet Transport to move our dog Radar and two cats from New York to Texas. Radar died within 48 hours of being placed in their care. He was 3.5 years old and healthy. We waited about a month to post this while awaiting the necropsy. It came back inconclusive -- because Radar was not brought to a veterinarian until full rigor mortis had already set in. Full rigor takes 6 to 12 hours to develop (per the vet). That means Radar was dead for hours before anyone at Blue Collar realized it. Two independent pathologists confirmed the body had decomposed too much to determine cause of death. The reason we don't know what killed our dog is a delay entirely inside Blue Collar's control. We were notified by text in the middle of the night. Calls to Blue Collar went unreturned. The first person we actually spoke to was the emergency vet who declared Radar dead-on-arrival -- and who was concerned enough about the circumstances that she recommended the necropsy. Here is what I wish I had known: They rely heavily on subcontractors. The people you speak to when you book are not the people transporting your animal. When something goes wrong, the customer-facing employees stop responding and you are handed off to contractors who have no direct obligation to you. There is no physical location. No office to visit. Blue Collar keeps no real logs. No route log. No stop log. No welfare log. No documentation of feeding, watering, walking, or check-in times. When we asked for records of what happened during the trip, there was nothing to produce. The only route data we obtained was screenshots of the driver's Life360 app that we cobbled together ourselves. Life360 is a personal location-sharing app, not a transport logging system. From those screenshots we found stretches close to four hours with no documented welfare check on the animals on the day Radar died -- a day when temperatures exceeded 100°F. Updates were not what was promised. We were told 4 per day. Most days we got one -- sometimes a short video, sometimes less. We also suspect the crate Radar was placed in was undersized (per a written statement from the boarding kennel we had used for years) -- but with no logs, there is no way to confirm. Their communication is poor and defensive. Their main channel is a group chat in an app called GroupMe. The initial incident report we received had basic facts wrong -- the wrong age for Radar, the wrong breed, and a timeline that did not match Blue Collar's own records. It was not written by the driver on the scene -- it was written by their subcontractor route coordinator, who was on a plane at the time of the incident. It is incredibly irresponsible that the person responsible for coordinating the transport of our animals was unreachable, in the air, while the trip was in progress. When we tried to reconstruct what happened, that same route coordinator asked us: "what exactly are we in search of currently?" When we pushed back for accurate information, we were told we were chasing conspiracy theories. When we formally requested all internal communications about Radar's death, we were told there was zero written internal communication that did not happen in the customer group chat we were part of. No internal email thread. No investigation memo. No documented review. Once payment was resolved, Blue Collar employees stopped responding. They refunded us, and after that all communication from actual Blue Collar staff went silent. I tried to reach the owner on LinkedIn -- no response. Blue Collar has also disabled Recommendations on their Facebook business page so customers cannot leave reviews there. The company has changed names at least once (formerly Millennium Pet Transport) -- search carefully, older reviews may not surface under the current name. We are not the only ones. Multiple families have described the same pattern via Facebook victims' groups and Instagram/YouTube reviews: an animal in Blue Collar's care under 48 hours, animal dies, animal is not brought to a veterinarian until in full rigor mortis. In the end, this is not a professional company that should be entrusted with the care of your animal.
