We will be forever grateful to Gentle Pet Crossing for helping us say goodbye to our beloved Sky…read moreafter almost 15 beautiful years together. Saying goodbye to a member of your family is one of the hardest things imaginable, but they made such a heartbreaking moment feel peaceful, respectful, and full of love. From beginning to end, Sky was treated with incredible kindness, dignity, compassion, and respect. We never felt like this was simply a service or a procedure. They truly understood that Sky was our family, and they treated him with the love and care he deserved until his very last moment. Thank you for giving our boy such a peaceful and dignified farewell, and for treating our family with so much compassion during such a difficult time. We wholeheartedly recommend Gentle Pet Crossing. Thank you for taking such beautiful care of our Sky. We will always be grateful.

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.

Tank's remains were ready within a couple of weeks, and when I went to pick up the urn and everything, it was presented so beautifully, that I felt compelled to let everyone who needs info about Monarch Pet Memorial know how excellent their care of my Tank's remains were. The bag it all came in was tied with a thin black ribbon with paw prints on it. Open the bag, and there was this beautiful simple wooden urn with my dog's paw print burned into the wood, with Tank's name above the paw. They gave me a certificate, plus a cast of his paw in a round cast, like you do for children's hands. Also a beautiful glass cylinder with some of Tank's fur. Also, a certificate of the private cremation, a bookmark and an another paw print in ink on a card. This whole package was very comforting to me. Thank you so much for your care and respect of my sweet, precious boy, Tank.

I am giving 3 stars because of the professional guy that picked up my best friend from home. He really tried. She was 100 pounds and she had blood on her mouth. I was desperated and I called these people that charged me about $600 for pick her up and cremate her, put her paw print on ceramic and truth be told, the presentation was beautiful. I truly hope those are my babie's ashes. One can only hope. I called on Saturday to arrange for pick up and the same guy that always answer the phone told me he was the answering service. I called every day to monitor where my baby was. Always the same response. That my dog would be ready in 7-10 business days. Then I called because they do have "delivery" service, and they should bring the ashes complementary when they are around the area picking up other dogs. He told me that it would be $75. I thought that price was ridiculously high but I agreed. He told me to call the next day at 9:00 AM. At this point I want to leave one star. I called next day 9:00 AM, he said the guy that makes the deliveries was picking up two dogs so I had to call later. Called later, he said call me in the morning. Figure it up, my pain, crying, calling this moron every day and my dog? Where's my dog? This morning to add insult to the situation, the man, owner, answering service, cashier, mortician and scammer told me the service would be $175 because of the gas. I said "the gas?" And he said that the gas prices raised incredibly overnight. He really thought I am an idiot. Please don't do business with them. They don't care about our dogs. They only care about MONEY. Never ever again. Horrible.

This review is very long overdue, but for a reason. Every time I tried to write it, I became too…read moreemotional to finish. Nearly a year later, I finally feel able to put into words how grateful I am to Dr. Brittany Dash and Gentle Pet Crossing for the extraordinary kindness they showed my beloved 21-year-old cat, MJ, and me on one of the saddest days of my life. MJ and I had shared 20 years together. I found her when she was about a year old, living on the street. Or maybe it would be more accurate to say that she found me. She kept showing up, coming to me and begging to be petted. Looking back, I realize she was choosing me. And I was lucky enough to be her person for the next 20 years. On Tuesday, November 4, 2025, I knew I was losing MJ. She had stopped drinking water and had become too weak to remain standing. I had spent the day with that terrible feeling that the moment I had dreaded was coming. I felt heartbroken, helpless, and overwhelmed, but I also knew that after 20 years of loving her, I could not allow her to suffer. I had read so many wonderful reviews about Gentle Pet Crossing and the ability to say goodbye peacefully at home, so at approximately 2:00 that afternoon, I reached out. They responded almost immediately and somehow accommodated my request that very same day. Dr. Brittany Dash was confirmed to arrive between 6:00 and 6:30 that evening. From the moment Dr. Dash arrived, there was such a sense of calm and compassion about her. MJ was lying on my bed, incredibly weak and barely responsive. Dr. Dash never rushed anything. She was gentle with MJ, quietly petted her, spoke with kindness, and was equally compassionate toward me. In the place where MJ had always felt safe and loved--her own home, on my bed--she peacefully closed her little eyes. It was devastating, but it was also incredibly gentle. There was no frightening trip to a veterinary office, no unfamiliar surroundings, and no additional stress for MJ. Her last moments were at home, surrounded by love, and Dr. Dash treated her with such tenderness and dignity. Dr. Dash then took MJ with her, and the thoughtfulness from Gentle Pet Crossing did not end when she walked out the door. The following day, they contacted me again to express their condolences and even asked for MJ's veterinarian's information so they could notify them of her passing. I later received a beautiful condolence card from Gentle Pet Crossing and Dr. Dash. When MJ's ashes were ready, they contacted me with compassionate, accommodating options for picking them up and were completely understanding about waiting until I was ready. Every single detail was handled with care. Losing an animal who has shared 20 years of your life leaves a space that is difficult to describe. I will always wish that day never had to come, but I will also always be grateful that when it did, MJ was able to leave this life peacefully, in her home, with dignity and love. Dr. Brittany Dash, thank you for the gentleness you showed my little girl and for the kindness you showed me when I was heartbroken. And thank you to everyone at Gentle Pet Crossing for treating MJ as though she mattered--not simply as another appointment. There truly aren't enough words of praise for the care we received. If you are facing the heartbreaking decision of saying goodbye to a beloved animal and are considering an in-home passing, I cannot recommend Dr. Dash and Gentle Pet Crossing highly enough. Twenty years earlier, MJ had somehow found me and decided I was going to be her person. Thank you for helping me keep my final promise to her--that when the time came, she would be safe, she would be loved, and she would not have to suffer. Thank you, Dr. Dash, for helping my MJ leave this world so peacefully. I will never forget the kindness you showed us that evening.

Yet, they have given me peace of mind. A caution for reading reviews for this and medicine professionals: Remember that most satisfied clients do not post, and unsatisfied clients are at the 90% post level nationwide. All medical professionals are human, overworked, and can make mistakes. To say a Vet "killed" your animal - ?? Heck, I had a mistake in my open heart surgery, and it was the CHIEF surgeon who did the surgery. It happens. It is a tragedy. But I wouldn't be ridiculous enough to post that the surgeon tried to KILL me. Remember that medical professionals are all overworked in the 2020+ decade. Work with them, and be part of the process. Don't just passively-aggressively post a bad review because you are in emotional pain.

The business is stating they were dealing with an emergency.. however they were all hanging out just talking and not acknowledging us. I had called prior to coming in a week in advance and was never told to bring records. If you truly care during a consult, you let clients finish a full sentence. Strangest business we've ever experienced. And this was not for a second opinion, see you didn't even listen to that part either. If you really care for your pet....DONT go to this place.
