LEASH was amazing from start to finish. They made the whole experience as great as could be considering losing our pet. I highly recommend them if you have a pet pass.

L.E.A.S.H. was over the top when our Bernese Mountain Dog, Ysabel suddenly passed away early on a Sunday morning.  From the time our call was taken by dispatch to when Greg arrived at our home within the hour.  He was very compassionate, understanding and respectful of the situation, and he provided us the time to say our goodbye.  Greg explained the process and within less than a week, he personally returned to our home with Ysabel's ashes and her beautiful paw print.  In a time when you have lost your best friend, I cannot say enough about this company, their respect and process.  I highly recommend L.E.A.S.H.

Owner's reply
Elizabeth, thank you for trusting L.E.A.S.H. Pet & Exotic Animal Mortuary during such a difficult time. Caring for sweet Ysabel and providing immediate support at your home in Fountain Hills is at the heart of our mission. We are glad Greg could bring you peace of mind through our Gold Package arrangements. Keeping you in our hearts as you honor your precious Bernese Mountain Dog.

I’m so happy with my experience at LEASH, considering how difficult it has been to lose a beloved family member. Greg was respectful and so kind. I am so happy to have a paw print and a little lock of hair to remember my sweet pup. Thank you for the kindness and care during this difficult time.

Owner's reply
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts, Merette. Assisting your family in Sun City and providing gentle early morning pet pickup for Emma was a true honor. We know how much those special keepsakes mean when honoring a best friend, and we hope her paw print brings lasting comfort. Holding you in our thoughts as you cherish the memories of your sweet dog.

The experience we had was so beyond amazing.  We lost our boxer late in the evening and were trying to figure out how to keep our toddler from finding him before we could take him to the vet for cremation as we have previously done.  The team we worked with made it so easy to get organized via text messages while I was at work.  Greg came around midnight to pick our boxer up.  It was all very profesional but also respectful and sympathetic. He explained what he was going to do and what next steps would be.  Greg also hand delivered our boy back to us.  Thank you so much for everything.  With 3 dogs and 2 cats I will definitely use your services again in the future.   We have also recommended your company to others we know.

Owner's reply
Thank you so much, Celeste, for taking the time to share your experience and for posting that sweet photo of Jameson—he was clearly such a loved and special boy. Assisting your family at your home in Glendale late on a Sunday night was an absolute privilege. Being available 24/7 for home pet pickup so families don't have to stress about vet visits or difficult moments with little ones is at the core of why we do this. We are so glad Greg and our text dispatch team could bring your family peace of mind through our Gold Package arrangements. Keeping you, your family, and all your sweet fur babies in our thoughts as you cherish precious memories of your handsome Boxer.

My sweet Hamster Coal ended up passing away unexpectedly and LEASH made the hard stuff easier, i’m so glad I stumbled on to their website (not to mention the flexible hours)!! Greg picked up my Coal and was incredibly compassionate, understanding, and reassuring about everything, it made me feel a whole lot better about the whole situation and I knew Coal would be in good hands. After a week Coal was delivered back home safe and sound and Greg worked with my busy schedule to make sure I got Coal back as soon as possible. She came back with inked paw prints, some fur, and a compassionate card. I will definitely recommend and be back here if I need their business, such kind and compassionate humans work here and it’s more appreciated than you know, thank you!

Owner's reply
Abigail, thank you for trusting L.E.A.S.H. Pet & Exotic Animal Mortuary with sweet Coal. Caring for your family at your home in Goodyear during a Saturday evening is at the heart of our mission. We are so glad Greg could bring you peace of mind through our Gold Package memorial arrangements and flexible home delivery. Sending our warmest thoughts as you cherish memories of your sweet hamster.

There’s not a single place that deserves a better review than this place, I mean it. I’m still at a loss for words. But, I lost my cat Milo in a very tragic way. He was my very first cat, my very first death of a pet. I lost my mind when it happened, after it happened. I had no clue what to do where to go. I found myself doing research for hours on the best way to provide my beloved family member a proper resting place. I stumbled upon LEASH. God knows how and why. They responded even though it was 2:30 in the morning. Sweet lady on the phone explained the whole process of aquamation. An employee drove over 30 minutes to meet me at the office at 3:30 am. Made me feel like family. Made me feel okay for that moment in time. I just knew I was taken care of. Most importantly they made me feel like Milo was taken care of. I will now, forever  have my beloved Milo with me, by my side. MiloBoy, you walked beside me through this life, and I can only hope that your paw prints will guide me home…right back to you in the next life. I love you boy.

Owner's reply
Ali, reading your words about sweet Milo touches our hearts deeply. Assisting families from Scottsdale during middle-of-the-night calls and meeting you at our Phoenix facility is at the very core of our mission. We are honored that our team could give you comfort and provide gentle Pet Aquamation for your beloved boy. Rest in peace, sweet Bengal cat MiloBoy.

For anyone who has a pet that passes at home I recommend LEASH to come help you with their remains and cremation. Amy made the process very easy. Greg picked up my pet and was extremely courteous and patient with me as I was a complete mess. He returned her ashes to me as quickly as possible and treated me like a normal human being who is grieving, he didn’t make it seem like he was bothered by my tears. My deepest condolences to anyone who loses a pet, I know just how hard it is and implore you to call this company if you need help their remains. This is a photo of my baby girl, Blake. She is now my angel and I am with her in spirit forever and ever.

Owner's reply
Thank you so much Briana. Losing your sweet baby girl Blake is so heartbreaking, and we are deeply grateful that Amy and Greg could bring you comfort and patience during such a difficult moment. Knowing Blake’s ashes are back home with you means the world to our team. Thank you for your kind recommendation and for trusting L.E.A.S.H.

Ginger was a best friend the princess of the home, a true caring pet (daughter), loved everyone, and was as sweet as could be. Thank you Greg for showing empathy and sympathy during this difficult time.

Owner's reply
Thank you so much Frank. Ginger was clearly the true princess of your home, and losing such a cherished fur-daughter is deeply heartbreaking. We are honored Greg could surround your family with comfort and sympathy during this difficult time. Thank you for trusting L.E.A.S.H. with your precious girl.

Call For Pet Drop Off

Text With Our Team

Unlike many Arizona pet cremation companies or corporate operations that hide their facilities behind industrial park lockboxes, L.E.A.S.H. maintains an open, welcoming Pet Funeral Home environment, next to a human Funeral Home. If you prefer to personally transport your pet rather than utilizing our 1-hour home pickup, you can bring them directly to our central office at 1912 West Campbell Ave Suite B in Central Phoenix. We are open for pet drop off and intake 24/7, including nights, weekends, and holidays.

We provide seamless access via the I-17 (exiting at Camelback Road) and the I-10 (exit at 19th Ave), offering Arizona families a secure, clean, and dignified space to personally place their pet into our care.

Frequently Asked Questions

How quickly can your mobile team arrive for pet pickup at my Scottsdale home?

Because our mortuary dispatch operates 24 hours a day with direct access across Loop 101 and the Pima Freeway corridor, we provide emergency mobile pet pickup within one hour across Scottsdale. Whether you reside in DC Ranch, Silverleaf, Troon North, Gainey Ranch, McCormick Ranch, or Old Town Scottsdale, our retrieval specialists arrive promptly to gently place your companion into our care.

Can you pick up my pet directly from a 24-hour Scottsdale emergency veterinary hospital?

Yes. We coordinate direct clinic pickups from veterinary hospitals throughout Scottsdale, including emergency and specialty facilities such as BluePearl Pet Hospital on 73rd Street and surrounding animal clinics. If your pet passes away at a clinic, you can notify the veterinary staff that L.E.A.S.H. Pet & Exotic Animal Mortuary will be handling aftercare, then contact our dispatch at (602) 802-4040. We will handle the courier logistics directly with the clinic.

What is the difference between individual pet cremation and communal cremation for Scottsdale families?

With individual pet cremation, your dog or cat is placed individually in the cremation chamber, ensuring that 100% of the cremated remains returned to you belong exclusively to your pet. With communal (mass) cremation, multiple pets are placed together; because remains cannot be separated, no ashes are returned, and they are respectfully scattered in accordance with local regulations.

Why do Scottsdale pet parents frequently choose pet aquamation over traditional flame cremation?

Eco-conscious Scottsdale families frequently select pet aquamation (alkaline hydrolysis) because it uses a gentle, 95% water and 5% alkali flow rather than fire, producing zero direct greenhouse emissions. Aquamation returns approximately 20% to 30% more remains, which are softer and pure white—making them ideal for natural, safe scattering across private desert acreage, McDowell Sonoran Preserve trails, or home memorial gardens.

How are my pet’s ashes and memorial keepsakes returned to my Scottsdale residence?

Every individual cremation or aquamation package includes our Dignified Hand-Delivery Return. Once aftercare is complete, a member of our mortuary team personally drives your pet’s chosen urn, certified fur clipping, and custom paw print impression directly back to your Scottsdale home, eliminating the uncertainty of standard mail carriers.

Can I personally bring my pet to your mortuary facility from Scottsdale?

Yes. While our 24/7 mobile residential pickup is the most popular service for Scottsdale families, you may also bring your companion directly to our clean, dedicated pet funeral home at 1912 West Campbell Ave Suite B in Phoenix (centrally located just off the I-17 and SR-51 corridors). Because we provide true 24/7 care, please call us at (602) 802-4040 prior to arrival so our staff is prepared to receive you immediately.

Will your vehicle attract unwanted attention when arriving at my gated Scottsdale community?

No. We prioritize discretion and privacy during your time of loss, especially in Scottsdale’s gated communities, private subdivisions, and condominium properties. Our specialists arrive in clean, completely unmarked transport vehicles and conduct all pickups quietly, reverently, and with minimal neighborhood disruption.

Is it legal to bury a deceased dog or cat in my Scottsdale backyard?

No. Scottsdale city code and Maricopa County health guidelines strictly prohibit the backyard burial of companion animals in residential zones. Scottsdale’s caliche desert ground makes adequate excavation exceptionally difficult, creating sanitary risks and attracting wildlife such as coyotes and javelinas. Individual pet cremation and gentle pet aquamation are the approved, dignified alternatives for local pet owners.
