I started Petatree 4 years ago because I wanted to offer pet owners a natural and sustainable option to memorialize their pet’s death. Transforming the ashes of a pet into the life of a tree helps our clients “get through” the toughest stages of after care, by accepting that death is just one stage in the cycle of life. The after care process is a journey – your journey – to reach closure. We provide you with all the steps to get there, and let you choose which steps are most appropriate for you.
I have learned that it’s healthy to mourn the loss of your pet, but it is essential to move forward. For me, and for my clients, that happens when you find something that symbolizes in death, the values that your pet gave you in life. When you find that special expression of love, you give yourself permission to embrace your pet’s passing and celebrate the next stage of your pet’s life.
The Petatree after care experience navigates you through the entire process of your pet’s loss. It starts by helping you through the cremation process.
Then we mix your pet’s ashes with our proprietary Petatree Activation Buffer; a mix of organic compounds that reduces the ashes high alkalinity to zero AND releases the nutrients into the soil.
We provide you with an array of tree types all of which will grow indoors or out depending on where you would like your tree to be.
Finally, we plant your Petatree into our compostable planter and provide you with caring instructions for the beautiful living memorial of your pet.
80% of our clients don’t have outdoor space to plant their tree. That’s whyall of our trees are natural hybrids which grow permanently indoors, AND we have the dwarf version of all the tree types you know and love… and maybe a few that you don’t know.
Our trees are native to the areas our clients live and won’t harm pets or people.
A healthy tree is a happy tree…
It takes approximately 14 months for a tree’s immune system to fully develop; that’s why Petatree trees are a minimum of 30 months of age to ensure you are getting a healthy tree.
Your Petatree tree retrieves it’s own carbon paw print… “good boy”!
When a pet is cremated, the process emits approximately 360 pounds of carbon into the air, but when you plant your Petatree tree, that carbon paw print is recaptured within the first 15 months of growth. And after that, it is an oxygen producing, carbon retriever for another 40 to 60 years.
Hân Nguyễn2024-10-13 Highly recommend Vincent Wong2024-09-20 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. Yuanshu Cai2024-09-14 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. I highly recommend Petatree for anyone in need of this type of service. Their warmth, integrity, and professionalism truly make a difference.

Thank you with helping our family deal with Cinnamon's passing. Cinnamon was our daughter’s first pet and your story of the tree being a form of re-birth in the natural cycle of life really helped us talk about it and help us all feel better!
