Restino Paws

How much do the services cost?

Prices vary depending primarily on your pet’s size, the chosen aftercare option, and travel time.

Euthanasia only appointments range from $350–$550.

Euthanasia with group cremation ranges from $450–$650.

Euthanasia with private cremation ranges from $680–$900.

All prices include a complimentary paw print keepsake.

Do I need an appointment?

Yes. We serve a large area (Miami-Dade and Broward Counties), and same-day appointments can be limited. We recommend scheduling in advance whenever possible.

How far in advance should I schedule?

Ideally, at least 1–2 days in advance. Same-day appointments may be available but are not guaranteed.

How can I schedule an appointment?

Please call or text us at 754-230-9358. We’ll send you a link to schedule your appointment.

How should I prepare?

Choose a quiet and comfortable location where your pet feels most at peace. You’re welcome to include their favorite blanket or toys to help them feel at ease.

How long does the process take?

Appointments typically last around 30 minutes.

Will my pet feel any pain?

No. We first administer a strong sedative via a muscle injection—similar to a vaccine. This is the only part your pet may feel. Once sedated, your pet will be unconscious and unaware of the final injection.

Can I hold my pet during the procedure?

Yes. Holding your pet for the first sedative injection is encouraged. For the final injection, we may need to gently lay your pet down to safely access a vein.

Can my other pets be present?

Yes, as long as they are calm and not aggressive, their presence is usually beneficial and helps them process the loss.

How will I receive my pet’s ashes?

Ashes can be:

Picked up directly from the crematorium

Delivered to your regular veterinarian

Returned to your home by hand

Can I keep my pet at home afterward?

Yes. You may choose to keep your pet at home for a period of time or transport them yourself to the crematorium. Please note that some municipalities have restrictions on home burials.

I don’t want the ashes—can I still receive a keepsake?

Absolutely. Many pet parents opt for a paw print or a lock of fur as a keepsake instead of keeping the ashes.

Are there other aftercare options available?

Yes. In addition to traditional cremation and burial, we offer unique memorial options:

Living Urn – Your pet’s ashes are placed in a biodegradable urn with soil and seeds to grow a living memorial.

Memorial Reef – Off the coast of Key Biscayne, ashes are incorporated into reef structures placed in the ocean.

Aquamation – Also known as water or liquid cremation, this eco-friendly option is a gentle alternative to flame-based cremation.
