My beautiful boy Pudding had passed away unexpectedly in the middle of September and I was at a loss on what to do afterwards. I knew I wanted him cremated, but was struggling on where to go. Thankfully, my mom helped me find L.E.A.S.H and they were so patient with me during the time that I was gathering funds for their service. When I did show up to the building (I didn't want them to drive over a hour out,) I met up with Greg and he commented on how awesome Pudding looked (I agree, he was the best snake I ever had) and seemed truly sympathetic for me on losing him. Since it's a long trip back out to Phoenix for me, they even held onto him for a couple weeks until I was able to pick him up. I'm very grateful, thank you so much.

My husband dog was hit by a car at night. My husband was distraught and I honestly didn’t know what to do. I knew we wanted to cremate our boy so I woke up early and found LEASH. They were informative (on text per my request) and kind. The person that picked up my baby was nice and sincere. I highly recommend LEASH for your animal crossing journey.

Sadly My 11.5 year old Blue bully passed in his sleep in the middle of the night. My experience with LEASH was dealt with care and compassion. They communicated and arrived timely and Gregg who arrived to take care of my boy was very kind in caring for my beloved pet.

Anthem Pet Cremation FAQs

Do you offer 24/7 pet pickup in Anthem?

Yes. For pet cremation in Anthem, L.E.A.S.H. answers 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, including nights, weekends and holidays. Call or text (602) 802-4040 and a dispatcher will arrange pickup from your Anthem home or vet clinic. Anthem is a longer drive than central Phoenix, so the dispatcher gives you an honest arrival window on the call.

How much does pet cremation cost in Anthem?

Communal pet cremation starts at $180, private pet cremation starts at $205 and private pet aquamation starts at $305. The exact price depends on your pet and the package you choose. Pickup is included within 35 miles of our Phoenix office, which covers most of Anthem, and the dispatcher tells you about any distance fee before you decide.

Can you pick up my pet from a vet clinic in Anthem?

Yes. If your pet passes or is euthanized at an Anthem clinic, such as Daisy Mountain Veterinary Hospital or Lovet Anthem, tell the staff you have chosen L.E.A.S.H., then call or text (602) 802-4040. We coordinate the pickup with the clinic directly.

What should I do while I wait for pickup?

Gently wrap your pet in a blanket or towel and place them on a flat surface in the coolest room of your home, away from direct sun. Arizona heat matters, so keep the room cool. Take the time you need to say goodbye.

Can I choose pet aquamation instead of cremation in Anthem?

Yes. Aquamation (alkaline hydrolysis) is a gentle, water-based alternative to flame cremation that typically returns up to 20% more ashes. Anthem families can choose our Sapphire or Pearl private aquamation packages, or Quartz communal aquamation.

Can I bury my pet in my backyard in Anthem?

It depends on where you live. Many Anthem homes are governed by HOA rules, so check with your HOA or the Anthem Community Council and Maricopa County first. Rocky desert ground also makes a deep enough grave hard to dig, and wildlife can disturb shallow graves, so many families choose cremation or aquamation instead.

Can I bring my pet to you myself from Anthem?

Yes. Drop-off is available 24 hours a day by appointment at 1912 West Campbell Ave Suite B, Phoenix, AZ 85015, a straight drive south on I-17 to Camelback Road. Please call or text ahead so a Retrieval Specialist can meet you.

Will your vehicle draw attention when you arrive?

No. One Retrieval Specialist arrives in black scrubs in an unmarked pickup truck, parks neatly and handles everything quietly and respectfully.

Do you hand-deliver ashes back to Anthem?

Yes. With our Titanium, Gold, Silver, Sapphire and Pearl packages, your pet’s urn and keepsakes are hand-delivered to your Anthem home, so you don’t have to drive anywhere or wait on the mail.

Do you cremate large dogs and farm animals in Anthem?

Yes. We care for dogs up to 200 lbs using a specialized carrier, and farm animals up to 300 lbs, including those on Anthem, New River and Desert Hills acreage. Call to talk through size and pickup.
