Our elderly cat took a steep decline and we couldn't bear to have her suffer any longer. Even though they were booked up (and by the phones ringing wildly; were very busy), they were able to get to us quickly. Everyone was so sympathetic and caring. Dr. Imma came to our home and treated our old girl with grace and dignity, and she was able to peacefully pass with her family by her side, comfortable in her "spot." Oscar came to collect our kitty with a beautiful woven basket and cozy blankets and treated her with so much respect and kindness. I can't thank the entire staff enough for making this extremely difficult process as easy as possible. Truly a blessing in such a difficult time for our family. read more

Very disappointed , I had heard about this business from other people. so I contacted them they told me to contact the shelter in Copperas Cove. Laura (with the gravel sounding voice)seemed confused and repeating herself and changed her mind about location and availability of personal to assist me . A different person showed up at my house who wasn't the person that they told me that was coming. My dog was in severe distress and pain. and the helper that was supposed put my baby in my car dropped my dog! and then put him in the back of my vehicle. We finally made to the appointment at the copperas cove animal hospital who treated us with care, and understanding and compassion. I CANNOT RECOMMEND PAWS IN PARADISE TO ANYONE THAT HAS A PET that needs euthanasia. read more

On October 1st, I made the heart wrenching decision to help my 17-year old cat, Bella, cross the rainbow bridge. I called Paws in Paradise, hoping I could have a vet come to my home, but unfortunately the vet was booked until the 9th. I took Bella to my vet and then brought her home. Paws in Paradise sent someone to my house to pick her up. He brought out a basket, in which I placed her, wrapped in her blanket. I was sobbing uncontrollably and he gave me a hug. He was very respectful. I ordered a special urn for her and picked her up on the 9th. Such a hard decision and emotional day, but they made it a tad easier. read more

They seemed... disorganized. My beloved Great Dane passed away suddenly 11-7-25 at 5:30am. Around 7:30am, I was finally able to compose myself somewhat, and called Paws In Paradise. They take calls 24/7, but the person taking the calls mentioned several times that I woke them up. When they asked his weight, and I said 200lbs., they said, "Oh no honey, they don't weigh that much". They asked again, same answer. Then asked, "OK, how much did he weigh at his last vet appointment?" My dog weighed 200 lbs. Then, "OK, we'll put 200 lbs." They were timely in picking him up and were very gentle with him. He was returned in a timely manner, with a lovely box, a keychain, some hair clipping and a nice card. The keychain had the wrong dates on it, so my son called, and with me on speaker phone, we gave them the correct dates and recieved another one. With a different date, also incorrect. They said they'd make another one, but I had to pick it up. They are over an hour away. I just didn't answer. It was too much at the time. Their prices were, bar none, the absolute lowest I could find. As it was sudden, I didn't have any money put away for this, so that helped immensely. I have my baby back with me now, that part went well. But I think they could be a tad more compassionate in their communications. read more

I used this place when my sweet moo passed away a couple weeks ago. They're amazing I will always use their services when needed. She passed away unexpectedly and tragically and they were quick to come to my house within an hour. Thank you guys so much for all you do, It brings tears to my eyes. read more

So nice, calming and helpful in an extremely difficult situation! I have taken 3 of my animals to Paws in Paradise over the years.

I had to use this service in February. It's taken me this long to write the review. And I'm still crying as I write it. This service was very compassionate. Very professional. I had to help the love of my life transition. They came recommended and were able to come out that day. Per my partner, they were even tearing up. They gave me comfort in a very difficult time. And when they dropped off his remains, I felt my pet and I were respected. I hate that I'll probably have to call them in the future but grateful that such a compassionate, caring, fast and efficient service exists. I'm sorry it's taken me six months to write this review. Thank you for how you treated my Trapper. read more

Losing my Twitchy was by far the hardest thing I've ever had do. Paradise paws made EVERYTHING SO PERFECT! I was able to say goodbye to my best friend, while she was in her own bed in her own home. They are truly AMAZING! *APPT Scheduling was smooth and helped me through what I needed for my girl. * Came to home; explained everything before as I was a wreck. Such patience. * Allowed time for my family to say our final goodbyes. * Explained each step as it was happening. * Talked me through each step. * Allowed Twitch to stay in her bed as we grieved her passing. And he kindly stepped out. * We told him when we were ready. He came in wirh such tact. A stretcher. Covered her beautifully and carried her out. * They PERSONALLY BROUGHT HER BACK TO ME TODAY. THANK YOI SO MUCH FOR EVERYTHING! read more

Dr Imma was very sweet, empathetic, patient and sincere. She had great communication and explained the process thoroughly. The pricing compared to other local companies was very reasonable. She came to our home so we could hold our dog in his final moments. read more

We had to use the services of Paws in Paradise not long ago, it was not something we'd planned for or knew how to deal with at all. In our grief, the folks at Paws in Paradise helped us navigate through a very difficult time. Though they get busy (because they are highly recommended), you should definitely leave a message because they will get back to you. They've always answered or returned my calls or sent me a text. This includes before they had my business as well as after I'd paid for everything and was done. Their outstanding service stayed true through and through. For us, they answered many of our questions by phone and then when we were comfortable and ready, made us an appointment to come in (they do not take walk ins because it is meant to be a private and personal time). Throughout the process, they never rushed us or pressured us or tried to up sell any thing. Paws in Paradise is a patient, kind and understanding group of folks that truly care. They were worth driving the hour out of our way to Killeen. So glad we went with them instead of the corporate, big business, vet referred places in Austin. Not only did they provide a more personal experience (it was clear by calling around what you were getting from each place) but we got a beautiful memorial package at a much better price than any of the other places we considered. Truthfully, we didn't pick this place for the better pricing, it was a coincidental bonus that came along with their kindness. Overall, we are grateful to Paws in Paradise for their handling of the loss of our beloved family member and for helping us honor her memory with their beautiful art work and memorial items (keychains and candle votives with her real paw print, a memorial frame and a beautiful laser plate with her photo). If you have to go through this process, these guys are it. read more

My elderly father who lives in a rural area needed his elderly, 130-pound Great Pyrenees euthanized. Paws In Paradise were the only agency that could get a vet out ASAP. No one else serviced the area. The staff at Paws In Paradise were gentle, compassionate and kind while we worked through our indecisions. Dr Imma was so kind and caring to my father. She understood how hard it was for an 89 year old man to lose his 14-year companion. She proceeded slowly and professionally and explained the process along the way. And all of this occurred on a holiday, July 4th, 2023. I would most definitely recommend Paws In Paradise to handle your pets end of life care. I can't imagine a more professional, compassionate team to walk beside me and support me and my father in one of our most vulnerable states.. read more

Our precious Yorkie, Winston drowned in our pool on Oct 31. It was after hours. We took him to the after hours vet for holding. I tried calling Paws in Paradise but they were closed.

When we picked up Winston's ashes they showed us everything we purchased. I was so grateful for the kindness and compassion they showed us in this time of grief. read more

I wanted to share my experience at Paws in Paradise; it was wonderful. I brought my pet for a euthanasia and cremation service and was greeted by a warm welcome of their staff who were very empathetic. Atmosphere there was very comforting. My daughter and I were able to hold our pet for a last time during the procedure. Vet was excellent and explained the whole procedure from beginning to end. We were allowed to sit with our pet for another 15-20 minutes after and say our goodbyes. Cremation package was beautiful , urn and keepsake were really heartfelt. I will recommend this place to everyone know who has to make a difficult decision to put their beloved pet down . They are really caring folks who understand what it's like to grief a loss of a pet. read more

We received the most beautiful urn, plaque, and key chains. Everything was packed with so much care. We appreciate the kindness and the loving touches. We couldn't be happier. read more

Paws in Paradise Pet Crematory in Killeen, TX is more than a crematorium for your pet. They are the height of excellence and care when providing a variety of services for your deceased pet (or even if your pet is in pain and requires euthanasia) all in the comfort and peace of your own home. We were vacationing about an hour from Austin and, fortunately, they cover a huge area. Our pet was quite elderly with many health problems the past two years, so we knew she might pass before we returned home from summer vacation. But what do you do when their passing is imminent? Whether home or on vacation, rarely, do you think about such things; however, when she began deteriorating and it was clear that she may not be with us much longer, we started searching for "what to do with your pet when he dies near Austin, TX" and Paws in Paradise Pet Crematory displayed with lots of great reviews. We filled out the "Contact Us" form and explained our situation; they explained their services and even touched base with us a couple of times before our pet passed on, just to let us know they are there and ready to help, if needed. We chose the package that would best serve our needs and within hours of our pet's passing, Ryan came to pick-up her body, spent time comforting us, then explained that they would return her ashes to us within 7-10 days. Their services are extremely reasonable too, well worth every penny. Further, her ashes were hand delivered on July 7 (a Sunday); HAND DELIVERED! Had we decided to leave earlier for home; however, they would have shipped her ashes anywhere, whatever makes life easier for you, they will do. The people with Paws in Paradise are like Guardian Angels; everyone there not only treats you with respect and sensitivity during such a difficult time, but they also treat your pet with respect and care. Veterinary offices are not usually a nice place for most pets to visit, and especially if it is time for your pet to leave this Earth, very clinical, often strangers around and the smell. It is nice to know that you can allow your pet to pass on in the comfort and privacy of their own home, surrounded by their loved-ones and with grace and peace. Paws in Paradise is amazing. We are, and will be, eternally grateful for the services they provide. We will also remember them in our list of charitable donations. In my opinion, people with pets need services like these. God bless them and keep them going always! Charli's Mom and Dad Forever. read more

My mother lives in Killeen area. She tried all day long to find a vet to put down her suffering 12 yo dog. He was immobile and over 100 lbs. No one was able to do it because everyone was booked up. I called paws in paradise and they opened the funeral home on Saturday. They called in a mobile vet to euthanize my mothers pet. I'm so grateful that they felt the compassion they did for my mother and her pet. read more

I would refer this company to anyone. Excellent , and comforting in our time of need upon losing our loved ones. I am so grateful they are in our community. read more

I had done a lot of research before I chose paws in paradise. When I scheduled the euthanasia I didn't realize I had to go to Belton for that service. When we put him down, the representative was late getting there to pick him up. When we left to go back home, I received a call saying they were sorry.... are you able to make the payment now over the phone? I had already prepaid. About a week later they messaged me asking for a photo for the package I purchased. I asked if they could do the package without a photo and I would do that myself. That wasn't a problem. When it was time to pick up my boy, they sent another message. I called back to schedule a time to get him. I then received a prompt call back and was told I could get him anytime. Five minutes later I received another call saying I see that you had called what can I help you with? When I got to their store it was warm and welcoming. I was greeted promptly and asked my pets name. They handed me the bag and of course I looked to make sure I had everything I purchased. Since I was adding the photo myself, I asked if I could have the frame the Memorial was supposed to go in. All I wanted was the frame and for some reason they couldn't understand what I was asked for. About 5 minutes of her explaining to me why it wasn't in a frame, my friend stepped in because I was getting upset. Then she looked at the invoice and said that I was supposed to be refunded $10 for the wings because they didn't have the picture they were not able to do that. They handed me a 20 and asked if I had change. At this point I just wanted to get out of there. When I got home, I also didn't have the seeds or the invoice to look at because she never put it back in the bag. I thought I ordered 3 keychains. After the last encounter, I don't even care to go back to find out. read more

Paws in Paradise would not be my first choice in sending my pet over the rainbow Bridge. I ordered the memorial package and was frustrated that it didn't include the " flower seeds. Was promised it would be 7 to 10 business days to be completed, (reality was 3 weeks) the owner was argumentive and rude. When I went to pick up my pet the store was so disgusting.....it smelled of dead animals and cigarette smoke, I actually gagged. It may be cheaper than the one in Austin, but as the saying goes you get whst you pay for. read more

I can't say enough good things about Paws in Paradise. They were so wonderful in helping me with my dog. The pricing is great and very affordable, I was able to send momentos to be buried with him and they even called to make sure I got home all right. (I drove up from south Austin.) A wonderful organization and great people. read more

We had to put our beloved 15 year old Maltipoo to sleep, and Paws in Paradise was there to take her for us. They were so compassionate, kind and professional. It was exactly what we needed at the moment. Thank you! read more

At the end of April 2023, it was time to say goodbye to my 16 year old pup. It was devastating. I came across paws in paradise and called them on a Thursday. My old lady had rapidly declined in two days. I had a wedding in Houston to attend on Saturday and the ladies at Paws in paradise worked with me to get a vet out to my home Friday evening. It was peaceful and a great experience, for what it was. I wish I remembered the vets name. She made an impact on me. She had finished all of her work at the clinic and made time to come from harker heights to temple at 730pm, a day before she was supposed to leave town too. She sat with us on the back porch and took her time with my Lily girl. We were able to say goodbye to Lily at home, on a warm sunny day in a relaxed loving way. The vet allowed us however much time we needed to say our goodbyes. I held and loved my girl a little while longer for the last time. When ready, they presented a basket I was able to lay lily in and they took her to their truck. I highly recommend this company. I cannot say anything but praise for them. read more

When my 13 year-old cat became too ill to go on, I called Paws in Paradise after seeing their website. Oscar at Paws was very helpful on the phone and reached out to Dr. Judy to come help us with her final day. It was a tough illness for my cat and the idea of putting her to sleep at home felt so much better than a car ride to the vet for both the cat and for us. Oscar and Judy could not have been more helpful or respectful. They let us know what to expect and gave us all the time we needed to say goodbye. It was very difficult but they made it as peaceful as possible. About a week later, they personally delivered Corsha's ashes in a nice box along with a laser engraving of her paw. On top of the kind and caring service, they were also very reasonably priced even though they were travelling from Killeen. I highly recommend them. read more

UPDATE - Sadly I am updating my review sooner than expected. We had another dog pass away. While home euthanasia was not an option, we still brought our Stella here for cremation and memorial services. They were so great and comforting. I don't have enough words to express our appreciation for them. They are amazing! We had to suddenly put our 14 year old, Lillie to rest. Paws in Paradise was so understanding and caring throughout the whole process. Oscar arrived first and we filled out paperwork to decide which memorial package we wanted. Dr. Judy arrived shortly thereafter. They both brought a sense of calm to our home as we were all very emotional. There was a personal touch and comfort in laying Lillie to rest at home where she was most comfortable. Yesterday, we picked up her ashes and memorial package. They sent bones for our other two dogs - it was so sweet. We are so happy with our decision to use Paws in Paradise and love all of the keepsakes. I would highly recommend them to anyone! read more

I decided to drive over an hour from Austin to go to pets in paradise because they were one of the few fair priced establishments that were open on a weekend. I was incredibly happy with the choice after arriving. The lady working was incredibly kind and in no way tried to push me to spend any more money then what I wanted to. The process was very quick and she kindly offered to split my pets remains and provide an extra paw print keychain so that my sister could also have something to remember our pet by. Best priced in the greater Austin area and while it was a bit of a drive for me, it was well worth the trip for the phenomenal service and care they give to you. read more

Example of bad business. False advertising they are not a crematorium. They do not cremate animals they are just a middle man that packages the remains. Very very poor customer service. read more

So my dog of 13 years passed away and was my first animal that has ever passed. I already had this place in mind to go because it states on their website they do burials. When I wanted a burial I ASSUMED that you would be there when they are buried or at least be able to see them after at the burial site. Again first time a pet has passed so didn't know how this works with animals. So I called set up time to pick up my dog she stated yes they do burials and when they get there to pick up my dog they will go over details and pricing, etc. So the lady gets to my house goes over packages and I ask so as far as the burial will I be able to see him afterwards or do u guys provide stones with their name and she is like oh no you won't be able to see him again. And I told her so once you take him that's it, can't see him buried or afterwards and she said no. So I explain to her I assumed I would see him afterwards, my husband isn't here and wants to visit him. And at this point she is irritated. She is like well I wish you would have told them this earlier so I didn't waste my time coming over. I'm asking her questions and she keeps saying I don't know to everything because she is upset. And she is like well I gotta figure out how much you owe for making me drive all the way here. First of all I get she "wasted" her time coming to my house. Understand, but like I was explaining I didn't now know the process and was not told nor does it explain in website. I was crying all day from my dog just passing including my kids and then I have this lady in my house pissed off and getting an attitude because she wasted her time. I'm sure they are a great business, but burials need to be more explained on website and the person that is picking up your animal that you have been with for years could actually act like they care more or at least be more understanding about your situation and that you want the best for them when they pass away snd not pushing for services so she didn't just "waste" her time coming to my house. read more

I would just like to start off by saying thank you so much for helping me during my sad time. I lost one of furbabies sudden and late at night may I add, I live in Dallas googled all place near me, made phone calls and not one was open to help me out. I was a wreck and the fact that Paws in Paradise even answered was astonishing. Victoria who just made me feel so comfortable I knew my baby was going to be in good hands so I drove from Dallas to Killeen arrived at midnight and Victoria was there to help me say my goodbyes at peace even that late. It was worth the drive to me. Thank you so much team and especially Victoria to help me during my sad time of losing one of my babies. It takes about 10 days but I made a mistake on his birthday at first and they were still able and willing to help by fixing my mistake on the memory keychains and his picture plaque. I have 4 cats so I mixed it up so thank you so much again. I hope I don't see you guys for a long long time from now but when the time comes because of your comfort Victoria I'll be using your services again. Thank you read more

On 1/5/19 we unexpectedly had to put our 14 year old baby girl Belle to sleep. We contacted a local one several times while we were still at the vet and never got a call back. We felt so bad leaving our dog at the vet overnight, I called Paws in Paradise and someone answered right away. This was on a Sunday. We spoke to Morgan and she right away set us up to go in and take in Belle. We drove from Austin to Killeen to take our dog to this location. Morgan was already there waiting for us and had already set up a space where we could lay our baby on. She showed compassion and she went thru the services the offered. She took her time, was not rushing us or pushing us to buy more items. She even offered to bring our dog home to us. After we decided what we wanted and were done, she allowed us time with our baby.to spend time with her before sayings goodbye. She told us it would be 7 to 10 days before we would get the cremains back. 7 business days later, early in the morning, we get the call that she was bringing Belle home. She brought our baby all.the way to our apartment in a little beautiful standard wooden box with our dog's name on it. They also gave us a silver angel's wing with our baby's paw print and picture. We did not expect that. It was worth the drive and half the cost of the first place we called. Thank you Morgan and Paws in Paradise for being there during our difficult time. I very highly recommend this place. read more

I had the unfortunate necessity for this service last month. I called after my Chihuahua Penny passed suddenly. The person on the phone was incredibly kind and patient with me while I cried to her. Pick-up was scheduled effortlessly. The driver who came to pick up my baby was named Oscar. He. Is. A. Blessing. So incredibly compassionate. He gave me time and space to say my last goodbye before placing her in a wicker basket and covering her with a blanket. The usual turnaround time to receive your pets cremains back is about 10 business days, mine were delivered back to me 6 days later, again by Oscar. He was so nice, again! I cannot say enough good about this place and these people who were there on a really bad day, who came through with compassion that was so needed and appreciated. Thank you! read more

Had a great experience with Paws in Paradise. I only dealt with one person but she was extremely helpful and always guided me with options and things to consider. She was always very courteous and professional. When the day came to say goodbye she was very sympathetic and lend an ear to listen to what I had to say about our pet's story leading us up to now. I'm sure she was very busy on a Saturday morning but she is a good person and knew it was the right thing to do in this difficult time. She surprised me with how prepared, punctual, and official she was. I would definitely recommend the company and hope they continue to do well because I felt they were very fair with the prices they charge for their services. I had actually looked around and there was some places that were a lot more expensive and did the same or less as Paws in Paradise. read more

I was devastated to lose my best friend, my hound dog Duke. I was surprised to learn how pricey individual cremation was at the Emergency Vet (although they were wonderful) and came across Paws in Paradise. They handled everything so professionally and picked up my pet for me. They completely exceeded my expectations and I was very impressed with the service I received. My beloved pet was cremated and I was given a framed picture of him, with his paw print and dates living. He was much nicer than what I anticipated and I'm so happy that I did business with them. I will miss my sweet dog but will forever have his memory! I highly recommend this business. read more

We had to make a hard decision not long ago to say goodbye to our 21 year old dog Eddie. It was a rough time trying to decide what to do, but we knew that we ultimately didn't want to take him to a vet clinic as the last place he'd see would be one he hated. So I did some looking around and found that Dr. Black with Paws in Paradise serves our local area (Belton) and we made an appointment for her to come out to give him an easy send off. Morgan came as well with one other staff member who took him to ensure his burial in a private place. Everyone was very understanding and compassionate and made the goodbye process easy for Eddie. It was hard for us, of course, but there was no avoiding that. We received a token paw print and a certificate of burial shortly after. read more

I accidentally came across Pets in Paradise, after my Nala 19 years old had passed. I called and was surprised to learn that it was something that I could afford to do. Everyone from the phone call to the gentlemen that came to pick her up, were just amazing. I don't do reviews often but this group of people and the package they sent me were perfect. I would recommend them to anyone facing this day. Thank you for being so kind. read more

Paws in Paradise were my saviors last Sunday afternoon. My sweet Dottie took a turn for the worst crossing the rainbow bridge suddenly. Being that it was a Sunday, I was at a loss to who to call. I called them and in about an hour they arrived at my house to pick her up and handled everything. Being able to be home and grieving and not on I-35 driving her there was amazing. Not to mention, every person I made contact with at Paws in Paradise was so thoughtful and understanding. Thank you for making Dottie's trip over the rainbow bridge a little easier for my family. read more
