Provider Guidelines
Standards and best practices for providers listed on Pet Farewell Finder
Pet Farewell Finder lists pet end-of-life care providers who serve families with transparency and compassion. These guidelines help us maintain a trusted directory where pet owners can find quality care.
Be Transparent About Pricing
Share clear, accessible pricing for the most common services. When families can see prices upfront, they can make informed decisions without pressure or surprise costs.
- • Show base pricing for standard services
- • Explain what's included and what's extra
- • Be upfront about payment options

- • Listen to families' needs without judgment
- • Be patient and compassionate
- • Respect all types of pets and situations

- • Correct information quickly when it changes
- • List all service areas you actually serve
- • Be honest about availability and timelines
Be Respectful in Marketing
Avoid pressure tactics or aggressive upselling during the most difficult moments of a family's life.
- • Don't use high-pressure sales tactics
- • Respect families' budgets and preferences

- • Offer options without pushing the most expensive
