What Happens When You Call Us From Gilbert

  1. A Dispatcher answers. Not a call center, and never voicemail. She’ll ask a few gentle questions about your pet and where you are in Gilbert.
  2. Paperwork by email. You’ll get the authorization and payment by email, so you can sign from your phone. Cash is also accepted.
  3. You get an ETA by text. Your Retrieval Specialist texts you when they are on the way to your home or vet clinic.
  4. One quiet arrival. One Retrieval Specialist in black scrubs arrives in an unmarked pickup truck, so your neighbors in the HOA won’t see a business sign in your driveway.
  5. Your pet is carried with care. We use a soft fabric pet carrier, and an ID tag goes on right away and stays with your pet the whole way.

We also pick up from Gilbert veterinary hospitals and 24-hour emergency clinics. If your pet passed at the vet, just tell the clinic you’ve chosen L.E.A.S.H. and we’ll coordinate with them. Our pet cremation Gilbert pickups are the same at the vet as at home: calm, quiet and respectful.

While You Wait: Caring for Your Pet at Home in the Gilbert Heat

Gilbert homes get warm, especially from May through October. These simple steps help until we arrive:

A cool, quiet room and a soft towel are all your pet needs until we arrive.
  • Move your pet to the coolest room in the house and keep the air conditioning on.
  • Lay your pet on a towel or old blanket. Place a second towel under the tail area.
  • Gently close the eyes if you can. It’s okay if they don’t stay closed.
  • Let other pets in the home sniff and say goodbye if you’d like. Many families find it helps.
  • If your pet passed outside in a backyard or garage, bring them indoors or into the shade.

Take all the time you need to say goodbye. When you’re ready, call us.

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.

Can I Bury My Pet in My Backyard in Gilbert?

Short answer: check two things first, your HOA and the county rules.

  • Your HOA: Many Gilbert neighborhoods, like Power Ranch, Morrison Ranch and Val Vista Lakes, are master-planned communities with HOA rules about digging and landscaping. Check your CC&Rs or ask your HOA.
  • Renting? The yard belongs to your landlord, so you’ll need their permission.
  • The county: In Gilbert, most dog and cat laws are enforced by Maricopa County Rabies and Animal Control, per the Town of Gilbert.
  • Desert soil: Gilbert’s hard, rocky ground makes a deep enough grave difficult to dig, and shallow graves can be disturbed by wildlife.

Many Gilbert families choose cremation or aquamation instead, because the ashes can move with you if you ever leave the home. If you’re unsure, call us. We’re happy to talk it through, with no pressure.
