    Presentation package

    The team at West Coast Pet Memorial was professional, caring and compassionate. We were contacted relatively quickly to make the arrangements for our pet's cremation - the process moved quickly once we decided what we wanted. We were able to retrieve her cremains the very next business day. The presentation package we received was very nice. It reflected a level of care that was comforting to us. They even included the rods and screws from her prior surgeries. I would recommend West Coast Pet Memorial to anyone looking for a company that cares about your pet almost as much as you do

    I was horrified when my beloved pup arrived in a PVC tube & the stone had a stain on it! The brochure lead me & my veterinarian to believe that Rosie's ashes would be in the stone! Instead she was shipped to me like a piece of leftover pipping from a house remodel. The stone was expensive & there was an extra charge for a private cremation. I will never use or recommend West Coast Pet Memorial. Never again! Never again!

    Obviously, something very sad to your family has taken place before you'd ever have any business here. Sadly, life isn't kind sometimes, but when these times happen for our pets it's nice to be treated as if you'd lost a family member, because that's exactly what they were/are to our lives. CalPet was extremely professional and comforting in all the phone calls and the return of your pets is handled with utmost care and empathy. It was hard to walk up to collect my baby and see the ovens burning and stacks billowing as you know many babies have left others live as well, but at least this way they can stay with us forever until our own time comes. Love all of the animals out there; yours, others, and especially all of the animals who have no one.

    Absolute sweetest cat I ever knew - our elderly rescue baby Dorfy - cuddling with his rescue bro Steben

    Hard review to write - but I hope it helps someone who may need it. Back in March, we lost our elderly rescue cat, Dorfy. We opted for cremation and the emergency vet clinic helped us get all set up with Cal Pet - and it was a real relief! We had as great of an experience with them as one can expect in a time like this. It was such an easy process - we filled out all the paperwork at the vet clinic. And then a few days later, we spoke to Cal Pet staff on the phone to discuss what urn we wanted and engraving and all that and to pay over the phone. They even offer a home delivery service for an extremely reasonable price! Totally worth it for me not to have to drive all the way out to Sun Valley. And I highly recommend the home delivery also bc it's a tough thing to experience (extremely emotional) so at least you're comfortable in your own space. It did take quite a while for us to receive our pet's ashes - almost a full two weeks. But it was a smooth process - we had zero issues. And we absolutely loved the urn! We got a cherry wood urn with an engraving plate. Very nice quality and their prices are excellent! Way less than I expected to pay. They give you a choice of a private cremation or community cremation (or group cremation - can't remember exactly what it was called). The private cremation is exactly as it sounds - just your pet by itself and you receive the ashes. The community cremation is a group of animals cremated together and then the ashes spread somewhere nice as a final resting place. We chose the private cremation. We also opted for the paw print memory where they make a clay impression of your pet's paw. I just love it - such a nice touch. They include a certification guaranteeing the private cremation, as well as a sweet condolence card with the rainbow bridge poem. Very touching! Made me cry like a baby of course lol. My Dorfy was the absolute SWEETEST cat I ever knew - all he wanted was pets, cuddles, and food lol! I don't think he ever left my lap anytime I was on the couch. And he would always reach his little paw out for more love anytime I stopped petting him lol! I'm so devastated but I feel like Cal Pet helped my grieving and gave me some closure. I hope I never need this service again - but if I do, I would definitely consider Cal Pet.

    "Cozy Tabby" urn $60
    Orsolya D.

    *Part 2 of the most heartbreaking reviews I've ever had to write* Not sure how much Yelpers know about animal euthanasia; but I received a crash course with the recent succumbing of my 17 year old Queen, Agora to renal failure (the bestest cat EVER!!! She my was my soul mate and reason to live and I would do ANYTHING to have her back waaaaa!! I will see you in the next life, Agora!). Apparently, when you have to make the horrible decision to euthanize a pet with your local vet; they work with an area crematory whom you pay separately for their services. You don't get to chose what crematory the vet works with and there aren't many in LA. Basically, they have monopolies over jurisdictions. I lost the love of my life at Crescenta Valley Veterinary Hospital where they work with Cal Pet Crematory in Sun Valley. Unfortunately, I experienced a HUGE hiccup that must be addressed... While at Crescenta Valley Veterinary Hospital; I was advised that although I pay them for the procedure; I fill out a separate form for Cal Pet Crematory to finish the job and reduce my babe to ashes (waaa, again!). This form contains your contact info, pet name and your choice of services as you can choose from group cremation or private cremation which costs more. There are people who choose group cremation?! What is wrong with you!? It is of no cost to have the ashes returned to the vet for pickup or for an extra $40; Cal Pet will deliver the ashes to your home. You can also visit their website to choose a special urn for your beloved. Cal Pet then calls you after waiting a few days (to let you respectfully grieve), you pay over the phone and after payment is received; they perform the cremation. Here is where shit got bad: I waited several days and heard nothing from Cal Pet and I was starting to worry. It is all fine and dandy that they wait; but I had a bad feeling and I wanted Agora home with me. I called the vet and they said just to give it some more time. I waited a week and a day and I knew something was wrong. I personally called Cal Pet and spoke to a Latina gal who didn't sound at all empathetic or like she gives a shit about her job. I explained that they haven't called me in over a week and I was starting to panic. She found my information and turns out: THEY HAD THE WRONG NUMBER! SUPPOSEDLY, they called the wrong number multiple times and left voicemails. But the thing is: A) this was THEIR ERROR IN PUTTING THE NUMBER IN THE SYSTEM because I triple-checked the form at the vet and it was 100% correct! B) If they supposedly weren't reaching me, CALL THE VET TO TRY TO GET IN TOUCH WITH ME! You're just going to let my cat just "hang out"?! I instantly burst into tears. Yes, mistakes happen but this is NOT the industry to make a mistake and COMMON SENSE SAYS CALL THE VET TO REACH ME! This girl connected me to a manager named Shane whom at least was much more versed at customer service than her. He agreed that this is NOT a mistake that should have been made and that yes, they should have called the vet or taken additional steps. He agreed that I am mourning and grieving and don't need this additional bullshit. Shane took responsibility and although I still had to pay for the private cremation ($140); he gave me free shipping to my home in 2-days so that Agora can come home ASAP and also let me choose ANY urn I wanted off the Cal Pet website. They have various options from bamboo to stone, from traditional to figurine statues. I chose the "Cozy Tabby" urn ($60) which is a heavy resin cat-shaped statue urn. The Cal Pet delivery guy called me two days later as expected to say he was on the way and also called when he arrived. He gave me his condolences (of course I started to cry immediately thinking about my life mate reduced to ashes inside this cardboard box). The Cozy Tabby urn is amazing, though, and way better than the website photo. It is a heavy, legit statue of great craftsmanship with Agora's ashes inside a heavy plastic medical-grade bag in the bottom (it is almost like a piggybank). I absolutely love the urn. Even if ashes, I'm so glad to have Agora home. Although, I am pleased that Shane took responsibility for their error/behavior and gave me free shipping and a free urn of my choosing; the damage is still done and there is a sour taste in my mouth with Cal Pet Again, I realize mistakes are made but this is an industry that should never have any. I suggest in the future that they call THE VET IF YOU PRESUMABLY CAN'T REACH THE PET OWNER! Plus, the receptionist girl needs customer service lessons especially if she is going to be working in an industry dealing with the passing of family members! Thanks to Shane for attempting redemption and that is the only reason this is a 3-star review 'average' rather than lower. RIP AGORA (4/12/2004 - 5/11/2021)

He also worked with me on the price when I was in a very difficult spot, and that generosity meant more than I can put into words. What stood out to me most was that he did not make me feel rushed or like just another transaction. He understood that this was family, not "just a pet," and he treated the moment with the seriousness and care it deserved. Losing a pet is brutal, and when you are trusting someone with someone you love, kindness matters. In my experience, Romo gave exactly that.

We were okay paying so much in order to have his final moments be comfortable at home rather than on a cold clinic table, but we had a pretty awful experience. When witnessing this service in the past from other practitioners, a sedative was given to the dog prior to the lethal injection via IV. For our appointment however, the vet explained that a sedative comes before the lethal injection, but instead of setting up an IV for that, she abruptly stuck him in the back with a needle. He began yelping and crying out in pain and frantically running all over our home VERY distressed. It was at this time that the vet informed us it was likely burning and itching inside of him, despite not warning us about that. I went to grab him and bring him back to the couch so I could hold him and she did the same thing again, causing the same reaction. By the time I got ahold of him and brought him back to the couch again to hold him in my arms he was so sedated he was basically already gone. Completely limp and comatose. I tried my best to position him on my lap on the couch while she did the lethal injection, but at that point he was pretty much gone. So his last moments were spent in pain, burning and itching, crying and confused, and running to find somewhere to hide. It did not feel humane and did not bring us any sort of peace about the already impossible decision. We are both heartbroken because he was truly so innocent and sweet and we went out of our way to try to ensure his final moments were filled with peace and dignity like he deserved, but instead we watched him pass in a state of fear and terror. I'm still a bit in shock over how it all went down, but I wanted to share this feedback for anyone considering going the same route. Respectfully, I would look elsewhere.
