Heavenly Paws in Atlanta Offers Water Cremation as an Alternative Option for Your Beloved Pet

ATLANTA - Dec. 1, 2015 - PRLog -- The old saying goes…if it isn’t broke don’t fix it…but what if there is a better way and we are just not aware of it? When it comes to what happens to your pet when he or she passes there is now an alternative in the Metro Atlanta Area, Heavenly Paws Pet Aquamation. Heavenly Paws is water cremation for your loved pet companion.

Randy Stewart, Owner and Founder of Heavenly Paws states; “As a pet parent and pet advocate water cremation (Aquamation) is how I want my pets to make their final journey. We are mainly water so what’s more natural than to leave the world in water?”

Although Aquamation was originally patented in 1888, it has only been in the past 20 years, with increasing awareness of the environmental hazards of fire cremation that Aquamation has become available to the public. Aquamation has been used for years by facilities including: UGA, UCLA, the Mayo Clinic, Duke University, Colorado State University, Texas A&M, the US Government to name a few. UGA has been operating two Alkaline Hydrolysis systems for over ten years in the BSL-3Ag Research Facility and the Veterinary School.  Heavenly Paws employs a patented machine that has been specifically manufactured for pets. With water cremation, there are no toxic emissions, no contribution to greenhouse gases, major savings on energy and a carbon footprint only one-tenth of traditional cremation.

Alkaline hydrolysis (aka Aquamation) is essentially an accelerated version of what takes place in natural decomposition. A combination of gentle water flow, low temperature, and alkalinity is used to accelerate the natural course. Remember - our bodies are 65% water to begin with! Similar to fire cremation, the mineral ash of the bones are returned to you in the urn.

Heavenly Paws Pets Aquamation is a new, state-of-the-art, green company founded by pet owners and lovers.  Heavenly Paws believes that each pet is very special & dear to us in their own unique way. You care for your pet during life; Heavenly Paws will care for them with Compassion, Dignity & Respect in preparation for the final journey. While cost isn't always a factor in the loss of a loved companion, Water Cremation/Aquamation is less expensive, while being much gentler and eco-friendly.

Honoring a pet also means not degrading the environment; Heavenly Paws is the first in Georgia to offer veterinary’s and pet parents a non-polluting alternative. We will come to your home or tell your Vet that you want Heavenly Paws to take care of your pet companion for their final journey.

Heavenly Paws is a company designed for pet lovers by pet lovers. As a company and as individuals, Heavenly Paws respects and shares pet owners' values and will treat your pets as their own.
