All Paws Great & Small helped my mother in law with the passing of her beloved pet and I heard nothing but positive feedback. To have a good experience with something as dark as the loss of a pet really speaks volumes to the service provided here. I am a veterinarian in San Antonio and plan on recommending this crematorium to my clients. Thank you all for your help and compassion.

My wife and I are overwhelmed by the compassion and tremendous service provided by “All Paws Great & Small Pet Crematory.” Craig was a true blessing in our time of grief, after losing our beloved Greyhound Catie Jean. Everything we received back is beautiful…the wood box, paw print, certificate…everything, exceeded our expectations! We give them 10 stars – five is not nearly enough for their genuine compassion and stellar service!

After our 2 year old puppy was killed by a venomous snake bite I didn't know what to do, as my dog died at home and quickly. I was heartbroken and a friend told me that All Paws helped her when her beloved pet died. My littles were at school and I didn't want them to come home to their dog and the wonderful people where here to get him so they wouldn't have to see him that way. They were comforting and were so kind and caring. Everyone who I spoke to were so thoughtful as to what we were going through. Thank you so much All Paws even though we are heartbroken we know you took care of our Chance and you are making our grieving process alittle easier.

Our fur baby of 13yrs passed away Thursday night and All Paws took her in the very next day. They were super professional. They made us feel as if we were their family. I cannot express how happy and in awe this ordeal was. From dropping her off to picking her up was just amazing. My heart was so blessed. Thank you for taking care of us in such a sad time and making us feel sooo blessed.

My Baby Brownie passed away from CHF on May 29. I had pre-purchased a plan for when my baby's time would come. I called All Paws immediately after my Brownie had passed. They were very sympathetic and caring. Brownie was picked up within an hour. The gentleman prepared and handled the body with great care. The cremated remains were brought back to me. Everyone at All Paws was beyond helpful and I'll forever be grateful for helping me through this very difficult time. Thank you so much. I know me and my Brownie will be together again one day. I love you and miss you so much, my Brownie.

My beautiful boy Gus in April as I was driving north from Mexico. I had 12 crazy years with him. He was stubborn and strong willed in his younger years but as he aged he became the sweetest old man. He was loved by many and will always be in our hearts.All Pets notified me in a beautiful letter that they had taken care of his remains with loving care which made my heart rest.

Our Beautiful Baby passed away on a Saturday Evening. I contacted All Paws Sunday Morning and they received and took care of Us very quickly. No high pressure sale and conducted receiving Our Baby with passion and patience. I recommend All Paws! As soon as we sat and talked to Our Rep, my anxiety stopped. They took care of Our basic needs and within a few days We were able to bring Our Baby Home.

These folks made a very hard situation a little easier. Hurley was my daughter's big boy. He was her child. He was her world. They came to her house and picked up Hurley shortly after he passed away. Within 2 days she picked up Hurley's ashes in a beautiful wooden box with his name on it! If you every need a service like this i would highly recommend them. Thank you for being there for my daughter!!

I had to put down my dog, Bruce, of 14 years. It definitely was not easy. However, he is no longer suffering. All Paws handled the cremation. I picked him up today. I sat in the parking lot, in my truck. I sat there and looked through the package which contained his remains. I'd just like to say, I'm more than pleased with the respect, care and thought that went into this package, especially the paw print! That was a welcomed, as well as surprising, gift. I cried like a baby (one more time). Thank you for all of your tender, caring, respectful display and packaging of my beloved family member. You really helped me with some of the closure process. Thank you All Paws Great and Small.

We are very happy that our little Lulu was placed in such caring and responsible hands after her passing. Lulu gave us so much love and happiness for almost eleven years so she deserved the best. Thanks to all at All Paws for being there and providing pet owners a beautiful service in a time of sorrow. Lulu's cremains were returned to us in a beautiful wooden container with her name engraved on a brass plate placed on top of the box. Her cremains held inside in a secure manner. All was placed on a table near her favorite spot just inside our french doors where she can still watch the birds and squirrels. Beautiful memories forever. Sam and Kathy

This is an amazing company, truly. We lost our beloved dog far too young in a freak accident, and my family and I were distraught. All Paws took him on Memorial Day, and displayed an incredible amount of understanding and compassion. To Greg, Karen, and the whole staff, thank you from the bottom of our heart for making this difficult time just a little less painful. Our family is forever grateful.

After losing our sweet baby girl (Bella), we were LOST. She was taken from us suddenly at the young age of 7 on a normal Saturday afternoon at home. We were in shock and disbelief. She had just received a clean bill of health from our Vet three weeks before her death. We were so heartbroken and our stomachs tied in knots. Luckily, our Vet recommended All Paws. There are so many beautiful words I could use to explain this great place! From the first contact with All Paws to the last, their kind, comforting and caring staff have helped us tremendously by giving us peace and closure to Bella's sudden death. The All Paws Staff had lost beloved pets themselves, so they cared for our Bella as if she was their very own. They knew the pain we were going through, so they knew how to comfort us and help us through it. We are forever grateful to the All Paws Staff for going above and beyond for us and our sweet Bella! God has a special place in Heaven for you all!
