A necropsy can provide vital information if your pet passed unexpectedly or showed unexplained symptoms.

My friend was grieving bad over his dog who was actively dying when I arrived to his house so I immediately got on the phone. I contacted multiple emergency home euthanasia companies and Angel Paws were the only ones who made me a priority and came right away when others were putting me on hold and telling me they would call me back. They were so compassionate and caring. I highly recommend them.

I have had 3 of my fur babies cross over the rainbow bridge. Angel Paws USA took care of all my needs when they passed away. The empathy and compassion that was showed to each of my pets was beyond what I expected. It felt like they were family that was also experiencing our loss. I will forever be grateful to them for the services they provided.

I can't say nothing but good things about Angel Paws and Manny. From the first time we had to find services for our first pup in 2022 and the ones that followed, it's been nothing but a good experience with them through a difficult time. They've been nothing but kind and helpful. It's nice to have a company that you can trust during these hard times.
