I stumbled across Oregon Aquamation while looking for options for cremation for my beloved doggie…read morecompanion of 15 years. Fortunately the lack of reviews on this app didn't stop me from contacting them after learning the difference between standard cremation and Aquamation. Not only is this a less violent process it's a much better process for the environment without ANY drawbacks that I could identify. Joey the owner was truly empathetic to my situation as I spoke to him from the parking lot of Dove Lewis Pet hospital moments after I picked up my baby girl. He offered to pick Dini up from my house (and would have come to Dove Lewis if I had asked him to!) Without any additional charge! The "least expensive" cremation option given to me by Dove Lewis charges an outrageous fee of $200+ to pick up your pet! And they do traditional fire cremation. Joey met me at my house and took great care placing Dini in his van, assuring me that she would be treated with the dignity she and I deserved. Only 5 days later he let me know she was ready to come home. On Christmas Eve he delivered her ashes to me. The total cost for her individual (vs. group) Aquamation including pickup and delivery was $219! Much less than any other option I found and done with the greatest compassion and professionalism. I can't recommend them more highly! It was the bright spot in an otherwise terribly painful experience. Please do yourself and your pet a favor and contact them for any information you need to make your decision. I promise you won't regret it!

It has been 6 months since Joey and his team at Oregon Aquamation helped us with the transition of…read moreour precious kitty, Lilly. We had 17 amazing years with her and she went at home peacefully. But this made finding someone to take care of her remains difficult. Most cremation services only picked up from veterinary offices. The ones that did private care were outrageously expensive...nearing $1000 including transport. They were mostly unhelpful or outright unkind. Then I took a chance and opened the google listing for Oregon Aquamatoon. The owner himself, Joey, answered. He was kind and patient. They were so affordable by comparison and would come to our home to take Lilly. They tagged her with a metal tag that stayed with her. They put her beautiful, pure white sand remains in a lovely bamboo box with her pawprint laser etched with her name. They also gave us beautiful clippings of her fur sealed in a glass bottle. They dropped her back with us at a time that worked with my work schedule so she wouldn't be left alone. They donated her blanket to a cat rescue. I cant say enough about this company. They are heavensent. We miss our girl so much but her transition and final rest were so peaceful.

My dear heart cat passed away two years ago and I was able to get her recovered and set an appointment for cremation so she could stay with her family (as her original burial place was located at a selling house) and I could hold my baby once more. Brian answered the phone within two rings nearly every single time out of the 12 million times I called him to update him on the recovery process, ask questions, and toggle the appointment time and date. Brian was so patient, kind and accommodating during the entire process. I was able to get my kitty an appointment very promptly. Brian let me cry and ramble about my girl with no judgement, just understanding and compassion. During the intake meeting I really honestly felt that my kitty was in safe hands, with someone who knows what it's like to love an animal so much and want the care and dignity they deserve to continue on even after they cross the rainbow bridge. Your little companion has an ID disk placed with them during the entire cremation process, in order to make sure that the ashes you get back are your friend's only. So you don't have to worry about accidentally bringing home anyone else, or leaving any of your baby behind. That was a great relief to me. I was only in town for less than a week, and had to drive back to school. Brian made sure my kitty was ready to take home within that week so I would be able to return with her. That meant a lot to me. When I came to pick my kitty up, Brian had made a beautiful wooden frame memento to take along with her new lovely rosewood urn that featured my favorite picture of her. So that I could display her sweet face next to her new resting spot. The passing of an adored companion is always so painful, but being able to work with Brian on the care of my sweet girl put my heart at ease for the first time in a long while.

We literally walked in without an appointment as our Shiba had ingested some cherry laurel berries from a neighbor's tree. She was wobbly and threw up so we knew it was urgent.

I found the entire staff very supportive and helpful. In both cases, there really wasn't anything to be done, both cats were elderly and sick, and I knew I was bringing them in for the last time. I really appreciated the staff and the vet's care, one cat had end stage renal disease, and the vet was very informative and caring about what his labs meant, etc. They have a very nice room set aside for those who are saying goodbye to their pets. I realize my experience doesn't have anything to do with acute problems in younger animals that may need surgery, etc., but I was impressed with the compassion and with the speed in which they took care of both of my cats when we were experiencing end of life choices.

We spent all day at home with our girl, knowing we would have to have her euthanized, but didn't have the money. After speaking to our vet about our financial limitations, they told us to contact DoveLewis. Unfortunately, we were above the income requirement to get full assistance, but the total cost was less than any of the at home euthanasia places we contacted as well as cheaper than our normal vet. We arrived around 8:30 pm with our dog and requested their services. We got right into a room with her. They were very kind and empathetic. They were helpful in explaining everything. They allowed us to sit with our girl for as long as we wanted before and after the procedure (we were with her during as well). Letting her go was such a difficult, heartbreaking decision. DoveLewis made it a lot easier on us. I will forever be grateful for the kind staff and for them assisting us in parting with our sweet girl.

We had to make the hard decision to have our beloved 13.5 year old cane corso euthanized so we…read moredecided to do it at our home so she could be comfortable and we could have some privacy. I had submitted an online enquiry a few days before bc we knew her time was near. I received a prompt and helpful email response. When we decided it was time, we called in the morning and were able to get a same day appointment, but it was only available after hours for an extra $125. Dr. Kathy was wonderful. She was compassionate, patient, calm and collected. She did not rush us and explained everything in a way that made it just a little bit less stressful. Our dog was 120 pounds so the 3 of us carried her out in a stretcher afterwards and she was wrapped in a blanket which was a more sensitive way to carry her outside vs looking at her body. The reason for 3 stars was the compassion ended at the remains pickup. We received the email that she was ready and it did not say to make an appointment, just gave us walk in hours. We arrived to pick up Kaya's ashes and checked in with Megan the woman at the front desk. She said we needed to hurry up because another family was coming in. She shoved the paperwork at us to sign and hurried us along. After a long drive, my husband asked to use the restroom and was told "no" because another family was coming in. After spending over $1,000 it was a cold and harsh end to what was otherwise a good experience. My husband asked for her name and pointed out to Megan that she was not being compassionate especially with what we were going through and that this would be added to our review for the facility. Only then did her tone change and she reluctantly said "ok, you can use the bathroom" but by then we were upset and just wanted to get out of there like the initial intent was from the receptionist from the beginning. This facility is large. If it's an issue, then they should ask you to make an appointment or have a separate pickup and drop off location.
