Your pet's final moments deserve to be peaceful — at home, surrounded by family. We come to you, handle everything with dignity, and return your pet's ashes with love.
Compassion Without Compromise
"We believe every family — regardless of their budget — deserves compassionate, dignified aftercare for their beloved pet. No pet should spend their final moments in a cold clinic. Our mission is to bring affordable, respectful care directly to your home, honoring every life with the gentleness it deserves."
Our Gentle Process
We make this process as simple and stress-free as possible — so you can focus on your family, not the logistics.
Reach us any day of the week, 8am to 8pm, at (626) 340-0000. We'll listen, answer your questions, and guide you through every option with no pressure.
We arrive at your home within a few hours to gently and respectfully transport your pet. You never have to leave your family.
Choose private (individual) cremation, communal cremation, or aquamation — a gentle water-based alternative. Each option is handled with the utmost care, typically completed within 2–3 weeks.
We personally deliver your pet's ashes back to your door in a handcrafted urn of your choice — a final, gentle act of care for your family.

Meet Steve
Passing Paws was founded by Steve, a lifelong animal lover and Glendale native who witnessed firsthand how difficult and expensive pet aftercare could be for families in his community.
After losing his own pet and experiencing the cold, impersonal process that many families are forced to navigate, Steve knew there had to be a better way. He saw families having to say goodbye to their companions in unfamiliar clinic settings — rushed, overwhelmed, and without support.
So he built Passing Paws: a mobile, affordable aftercare service that puts families first. The belief is simple — every pet deserves a dignified farewell, and every family deserves to be treated with compassion, not just as a transaction.
Our Promise to YouOur Promise to You
We started Passing Paws because we believe the cost of a service should never determine the quality of a goodbye. Too many families in Los Angeles are forced to choose between their budget and their pet's dignity — and we're here to change that.
Every service we provide is priced with our community in mind. We are transparent about costs from the first call, with no surprise fees and no upselling during your most vulnerable moments.
Our promise: your pet will always be treated with the same respect and care we would give our own. That is non-negotiable.

From the Families We Serve
We are honored to walk alongside families during one of life's most tender moments.
"Steve and the Passing Paws team were incredible. They came to our home within a few hours and treated our dog with so much dignity. We didn't have to go anywhere or do anything. I can't imagine going through that experience with anyone else."
"I was dreading the whole process but Passing Paws made it so peaceful. The pricing was honest and fair — no surprise fees, no pressure. Our cat's ashes came back beautifully presented. Truly a compassionate service."
"The in-home euthanasia through their vet partner was the most peaceful thing we could have done for our dog. Being at home, in his bed, surrounded by us — it was everything. Passing Paws handled everything after and we are so grateful."
