Pouyan A.Google review“…He took my call, late at night, he listened to me cry through the entire call and was so gentle with me and my broken heart. He made sure I knew what was happening with my sweet girl and never left me hanging throughout the entire process. …”

OUR FOUNDER
“Death never happens when we want it to. Our goal is to be the ones who answer the phone and get you the help you need — especially when you don't think you'll be able to find it.”
— TAYLOR VANCE · FOUNDER
I started Ascending Pets because families deserve to know what happens after they say goodbye. We care for every pet locally, let you follow them through each step, and make it clear who is responsible for their care, whether you come to us directly or through your veterinarian. What started with me helping families one at a time has grown into a team working alongside pet owners and veterinary practices across Utah.
