Our year old Yorker had a collapsed trachea medical condition but appeared to not be in serious condition A visiting friend and my wife chose to spend a weekend on the Strip and early in the morning our dog began breathing very fast, curled up on my wife's neck and passed away in about minutes without much distress
My wife called me at work and we were both complete basket cases It took a while for us to pull ourselves together, and since I couldn't leave work I asked my wife to have Abby crematedShe found LaPaloma on the Internet, called and spoke with Paul, who made the arrangement to pick up our pet at the hotel and arrange for a private cremation rather than communal, and although La Paloma offered scattering ashes at Lake Mead or Red Rock, I asked for the ashes to take homeThough it was stress-filled for us, La Paloma could not have been more professional and caringThank you, Pail and La Paloma!
I was swayed to use La Paloma because the vet had worked with them. We scheduled home euthanasia and scheduled La Paloma to provide transportation to the crematory. The individual arrived, was not at all sympathetic. The dogs were transported in the back of a pickup truck. The service we used previously used a SUV and transported our beloved pet in a much more appropriate manner. Although we have learned our lesson the hard way, I'm hoping I can help others prevent the same mistake that we made.
When we picked up the cremains there was a box with separate packages of ashes. However, there was no paperwork, which we've always received from multiple places in the past, that provided a mechanism for identifying and tracking the bodies through the cremation process. When asked for paperwork, I was provided hand written scribbles on a blank sheet of paper. We received wonderful care from [redacted] Pet Cremation previously, but were swayed by the vet; I truly wish we had not been.
