Pet Cremation Services for Dogs and Cats

Private Cremation

From $299 depending on weight and location

Your beloved dog or cat can be individually cremated with ashes placed in a personalised memorial keepsake. Our pet cremation services offer various packages and memorial keepsakes to suit your wishes.

We can make all arrangements on your behalf when in conjunction with our veterinary service.

Communal Cremation

The charge for this service is $224

Communal Cremation provides an affordable alternative to Private Cremation. Your beloved pet will be respectfully cremated with other loved furry friends, with no ashes returned. This price includes the respectful transfer and the service.

We can make all arrangements on your behalf when in conjunction with our veterinary service.

Home Burial

If you wish to bury your pet at home, please check with your local council to ensure you understand the regulations and legality.

Pet Cemetery

Depending on where you live, there may also be the option to have your pet buried at a pet cemetery which you can arrange independently.

How does it work?

1
Transfer
Depending on your aftercare wishes, we can arrange to gently and respectfully transfer your pet after the euthanasia appointment. This can be either directly after the appointment (with no delay) or we can give you all the time you need to say your final goodbyes in the privacy of home.
2
Private Cremation
If you have opted for private cremation, we will let you know when your loved one is ready to be returned home in the memorial keepsake of your choice. This usually takes between 5-7 business days and they'll reach out to you directly.
3
Pet Loss Support

We can arrange pet grief counselling for both adults and children to ensure your family is fully supported after the passing of your beloved pet.

I needed to say goodbye to my beloved senior dog Huggi and from the beginning Dr. Courtney from Rest Your Paws showed empathy, understanding, compassion throughout the whole process from the initial consultation, organising the private cremation through to the goodbye of my pet. At all times she put my dogs comfort at the forefront of her care making the whole process so dignified and respectful and my beautiful dog passed away so peacefully. My dogs peaceful and painless passing is etched in my memory and I'm so grateful. I can recommend Rest Your Paws to anyone needing to make the same decision I needed to make.

Putting a pet down is absolutely devastating - my heart goes out to anyone reading this and wrestling with the decision. Please know that putting your trust in Rest Your Paws will be one of the kindest things you can do for your pet when it is their time to go.

Claudia

The process of letting go is one of the hardest - but when you want your fur baby to pass with dignity and to be surrounded by love - the Rest Your Paws team is who you want. On two separate occasions this year the team exceeded expectations - from start to finish. The kindness and patience you receive is settling. You are assured that everything will be sorted with minimal stress on the hard day. Then the warmth we felt from the vet towards our fur baby and family is just lovely. Words don’t do justice on how much we appreciate you all.

Aftercare FAQs

This will depend on your personal wishes. We can arrange to gently and respectfully transfer your pet straight after the euthanasia appointment (with no delay) or you can have all the time you need to say your final goodbyes in the privacy of home and we will be there when you are ready.

How can I be sure I get my pet’s ashes back?

We work with reputable licensed crematories who we have handpicked and regularly inspect their facilities in person to ensure the best possible service and standards. We know they will treat your pet with the same respect and love as we do. They will collect your beloved pet from your home straight after the appointment (or we will gently transfer your pet into their care). Each crematorium has very strict identification procedures in place to ensure that your pet’s ashes are theirs alone. Please get in touch if you want more information on private cremations.
