Who
we are

Lasting Pawprints was created by a family of veterinarians looking to respectfully offer a gentle and caring goodbye to loved pets in the Canterbury region.

Our pets are our family too and we understand our privilege in helping your pet take their last journey with you in the comfort of their own home.
