 | About Us - Paw Prints Since 2010"When efforts to prolong the life of a beloved pet serve only to prolong death, euthanasia (Greek for "good death") should be considered" (alysion.org). If your pet rat has unfortunate upper respiratory issues or mammary lumps, we are here to leave eternal paw prints for your beloved one. desertratservices@gmail.com Private Services (Cremation and Euthanasia)Our services include small animal cremation and in home euthanasia for rats and mice (approved by the American Veterinary Medical Association - AVMA). You can rely on us whether you’re near or far. We also provide pet hotel accommodations predominantly for pet rats with all the bedding amenities and relaxation (inquire within). And we are just a paw away in the Coachella Valley! Eternal Paw Prints is surrounded by the majestic Santa Rosa Mountains offering year-round services to all rat and mice owners. Making the Decision (End of Life Care)With much affection and devotion, we have excellent training. Each cremation is uniquely designed for 1 individual exotic pet at an affordable price of only $90. For difficult times, we understand that being present is not always easy during this process. Seeing that it is your pet's final journey, with the utmost sympathy and compassion, cremation and in home euthanasia are strictly private. The cremated remains of your pet rat or mouse are the only remains processed and returned within a pet urn (ashes, bone fragments, organic particles) highlighted with a midnight black finish, brass paw prints, and non engraved.
In home euthanasia is strictly private and non witnessed at the price of $150 |
Eternal Paw Prints is family-owned, providing a dignified farewell to any beloved rat or mouse in the desert region.
Losing a pet can be devastating. We do require a scheduled appointment in order to drop off your pet for either services.
You may witness the actual cremation for additional peace of mind at the extended price of $150 (only small pieces of bedding made of natural fibers may be added to your pet's cremation ceremony - - no toys).
A certificate or document of cremation (not state certified) is issued with your pet's full name and ceremony date including the pet owner's name.
Please allow 1 week or less for full cremation services. Example: allow 2 business days for the urn to be ordered online; allow time to process the pet / owner paperwork; allow time for visitation and appointments; allow time for the cremation ceremony itself (roughly 3 hours the max); and allow a time frame for returning your pet's ashes (urn).
Mailing ashes (the urn) is a separate fee (inquire within if necessary). Pick up in person is highly recommended.
Private, non witnessed in home euthanasia ... if this is your preference, we deeply understand -- even if you DO NOT WANT the cremation services we offer. If you are experiencing a rat or mouse near death crisis and need help putting your critter to sleep, Eternal Paw Prints is here for your furry friend. Because a vet can be too expensive with other fees involved, we completely understand if you want to bury your exotic pet in your own back yard with your own private ceremony surrounded by loving friends and family.
