How Petatree is changing the pet aftercare industry

Did you know?

The cremation process of an average pet discharges 340 lbs of carbon into our atmosphere ? But when you choose Petatree as the living memorial for your pet, your tree re-captures that carbon “paw print” within 14 months of planting. Petatree is the ONLY company in the pet aftercare industry that hsa a net-zero, sustainable solution to re-capture the carbon emssions produced by crematoriums.

Petatree: where science meets compassion

Petatree was created to give pet owners a constructive and supportive way to navigate the end of life of their pets. As we gained experience, we recognized that veterinary teams face this process every day with little or no support. We partnered with experts at MaRS in Toronto, Innovation Guelph, RIC Mississauga, and the University of Toronto, along with researchers whose work informs the CVMA and the AVMA. From these resources we developed a proactive program to guide our pet clients through their aftercare journey with a balance of compassion and knowledge tailored to each.

Petatree is changing the way we think about death

Petatree is predicated on the belief that we can and must change the way our culture deals with death. I know, its a daunting task but I believe we can do it together, one beautufl life at a time. Death shouldn’t be the proverbial “period” at the end of a statement about life. Because it isn’t. Petatree believes that the cycle of life is a series steps or stages, and that death is only one of them. It’s called Nature. How we do it: When your pet dies and is cremated, we mix the ashes with our Petatree pH Buffer, a combination of organic compounds which neutralizes the alkalinity of the ashes and releases the nutrients within. We mix that with soil and plant your tree within the Petatree Planter or Urn as we also call it. As the tree’s roots reach out for food, they consume those nutrients for further growth and life. That’s why we can honestly and proudly state that “Petatree transforms the ashes of your pet into the life of a tree” Your Petatree is a living memorial and celebration of your pet’s next life stage.

The Awesome Role Trees Play

The Truth about cats and dogs

What I learned at a dog’s funeral

Our client’s account of their Petatree experience are a testament to our success. . .

  • “I can’t tell you how much Meagan, Rebecca and I appreciated everything you brought to our home today!!! Not just the tree but Buddy, (Chief Furry Officer) your kind words and your presence. You turned an otherwise sad day into a great day and from the bottom of our hearts we say thank you !!!”

  • I highly recommend John at Petatree – not only is he knowledgeable and professional, but he is extremely empathetic and supportive during a painful time. He was able to guide us as we made tough decisions for our pet’s final transition. He was very responsive and the process was smooth and effortless.

  • I cannot be grateful enough for John and his company during a very hard time. He helped us with our fur baby Cheecha when she passed 3 weeks ago. He is very pleasant to deal with, very empathetic, responded to text
    messages and answers calls promptly. He very much eased the stress of having to deal with the question ‘what do we do now?’. He’s like a friend we’ve known for a long time, who took care of something very precious for us. So thank you, John.

  • We called John at 1:30am when our beloved cat passed away and he picked up right away, providing us very useful advice. We then met him six hours later (at 7:30am!) near his office and he already came up with a tailored made plan for us. John also guided us in every step over this process, communicating details with love and care. The tree that John picked for us in the end is also perfect for our environment. Thank you.

  • When my pet passed away unexpectedly, we were in desperate need of an incremental service late in the evening. Petatree was the only service that could take our pet outside of business hours, which was a huge relief during such a stressful time. The entire process was handled with exceptional care and professionalism, but what stood out most was the human touch. Every step felt thoughtful, kind, and compassionate, making a difficult situation a little easier to bear.What’s more, they are incredibly honest with their business. It was clear that they genuinely care about you and your pet, without any attempt to take advantage of you during such a vulnerable moment.

    Owen Jones
  • I want to say that our experience with this company was very soothing. They did not try to take advantage of us at a difficult time. We lost our dear Pebbles and had taken her to John. He made the experience for us alot more easy to go through. Thank for the exceptional service and taking care of our dearly beloved Pebbles.

  • The loss of a pet is just as heartbreaking as that of a best friend.

  • Everything about our dog Smores’ final farewell was handled perfectly. From the moment we arrived, the staff showed incredible kindness, patience, and understanding toward our family. We were never rushed — instead, we were gently encouraged to take all the time we needed, which truly eased our stress during such a difficult time. The calm and comforting atmosphere helped us find a sense of peace in our grief.

    I’ll admit, at first I thought the service would be quick — I just wanted to get through the sadness. But when we saw Smores, all the emotions came flooding back. The staff gave us the space to share our memories, look through old photos and videos, and say our final goodbyes in our own way. It became a beautiful moment of reflection and love.

    I wish I could remember the name of the young man who helped us — he was outstanding. He spoke proudly about caring for the grounds and explained the history of Petatree and the options for Smores’ headstone, always reminding us to “take our time.” His sincerity and respect meant so much to us. We left feeling that Smores was truly cared for, and that his resting place will be treated with the same love he gave us throughout his life.

    Thank you, Petatree, and everyone at Havelberg for helping us through such a painful time with dignity, compassion, and genuine care.
