Caring isn't just a tag line. It's in our DNA.
A Letter From Jacob

Hi from Caring Paws

If you’re reading this, I've been in your shoes and I'm really sorry. Really. Never in a million years did I think I would own a pet cremation business until Almost, my cat of 17 years, died in March of 2020. Life is full of surprises.

When Almost died, It was impossible to find a nearby pet cremation business that offered same-day, one-pet-at-a-time cremation that treated its clients and their pets like members of their own family.

Pet cremation isn't rocket science but surprisingly, doing it in a dignified and caring way is the exception. Unlike others, caring is at the heart of what we do.

Caring Paws is a business but it's not just about making money. Pets and their owners deserve a cremation service that is transparent, private, expedient, and operated by people that care. I'm proud of our unrivaled service, and our commitment to our clients and their pets. I'm really sorry for your loss and I'm ready to help.
