Pickup from a Bronx home or apartment

Call before moving your pet if you are unsure what to do. Share your pet’s approximate size, the room or floor where they are resting, and whether you have stairs, an elevator, a buzzer, a front desk, a gate, or parking limitations.

For a larger dog or a narrow apartment layout, describe the space and any handling concern in advance. Good information helps the transfer team arrive prepared and keeps the handoff calm and dignified.

  • Street address, apartment, and buzzer
  • Floor, stairs, elevator, or narrow access
  • Parking, gate, front desk, or building rules
  • Pet species and approximate weight
  • Preferred timing and family contact person
02

Pickup from a veterinarian or animal hospital

Provide the clinic name, phone number, department, and your pet’s name. Ask the veterinary office whether they require a signed or verbal authorization before releasing your companion to an aftercare provider.

Tell us whether the clinic has a deadline, discharge window, special entrance, or contact person. Clear information helps the family, clinic, and care team coordinate without repeated calls during an already difficult time.

03

Temporary care while arrangements are made

If there will be a wait, ask us for temporary-care guidance that fits your pet’s size, your home, and the expected pickup timing. Keep the room calm and cool, limit unnecessary movement, and avoid relying on general advice that does not match your situation.

Gather only the essentials: your pet’s name, species, approximate weight, location, veterinarian information, and whether you want ashes returned. Memorial decisions can wait until the immediate plan is clear.
