Paws into Grace Opens Second San Diego Location for End-of-Life Pet Care
Sep 18, 2026
San Diego, CA, September 18, 2026 /MarketersMEDIA/ -- Paws into Grace, a Southern California provider of end-of-life pet care and aquamation services, has officially opened its second location at 8395 Camino Santa Fe, Suite A, San Diego, CA 92121, in the Miramar area of San Diego. The purpose-built facility expands the company’s capacity to serve families with end-of-life pet care services, in-home and in-office euthanasia, and aquamation across Southern California.
A Facility Designed for Grieving Families
The San Diego location was built specifically around the needs of families navigating the loss of a pet. Rather than replicating the atmosphere of a veterinary clinic or industrial crematory, the facility offers a calm, home-like setting intended to ease an already difficult experience. Features include a private family viewing room where entire families can gather for meaningful final moments, and a dedicated comfort room for in-office euthanasia, an option for families who prefer not to have the appointment at home or in a clinical setting.
Two separate pet areas minimize overlapping visits between grieving families, providing a quieter, more personal experience during appointments.
Expanded Aquamation Operations
The larger San Diego facility significantly expands aquamation operations with additional space for equipment, staff, and workflow. Paws into Grace’s Escondido location is the first IAOPCC-accredited aquamation provider in California, and just the third aquamation provider in the world to earn this accreditation.
Aquamation is a water-based alternative to flame cremation that uses approximately 90% less energy and produces no direct greenhouse gas emissions from combustion. The process often returns more of a pet’s ashes to families, offering an environmentally-friendly option for pet owners seeking a gentler farewell.
Dr. Elizabeth Benson, Owner and Founder of Paws into Grace, said: “As Paws into Grace has grown, it has always been important to me that we never lose sight of why we started: to give pets a beautiful and gentle goodbye. Our second location in Miramar, San Diego, gives us the opportunity to care for more families while staying true to the compassionate care that has always been at the heart of Paws into Grace. As we expand our cremation services to the new location, it also allows us to be part of a bigger shift toward greener, more thoughtful options for pet aftercare. Aquamation (water cremation) gives families another choice, one that is gentle on their pet and the environment.”
Centralized Access Across San Diego County
Situated in the Miramar area, the new facility provides easier access for families in Central San Diego, East County, South Bay, and coastal communities. The company’s original Escondido office remains open with regular business hours, continuing to serve North County families. Pet owners can now choose whichever location best fits their needs, with both offices providing the same compassionate end-of-life care.
The central location also supports the company’s veterinarians, cremation staff, and veterinary hospital and community partners with improved logistics across the county.
Brooke Garber, Director of Aquamation at Paws into Grace, said: “Miramar is more than a new facility; it’s a promise to our community. A promise to make compassionate aftercare more accessible and to ensure that every family who walks through our doors is met with kindness, comfort, and grace during one of life’s most difficult moments. Miramar is another chapter in our journey to provide beautiful goodbyes. A new home. The same compassionate hearts.”

Hong Kong Premier League on up but Kitchee face AFC Champions League test against Koreans
Although he cheesed off some of his England players when he accused them of being “sloppy” and committing “lots of technical mistakes” following their World Cup quarter-final victory over Norway this summer, Thomas Tuchel’s angst perhaps stemmed from the knowledge that a much tougher test was around the corner. So it would prove, the head coach’s team punch-drunk by the end of their semi-final capitulation against Argentina. For Tuchel two months ago, and indeed Alex Ferguson after the 1983...

Douglas Whyte heaps praise on Zac Purton as pair collects race-to-race Happy Valley double
Douglas Whyte heaped praise on his former fierce rival Zac Purton after the nine-time champion jockey helped get his season up and running with a Happy Valley double on Wednesday night. Live Wire’s success in the Class Four Community Chest Cup (1,200m) was an easy watch for Whyte, but it was the complete opposite when it came to Young Arrow in the second section of the Class Four Lido Handicap (1,200m). Forced to settle back early, Purton again had to steady his mount heading out of the back...

Sunday’s Sha Tin races cancelled due to state funeral for ex-Hong Kong leader Tung Chee-hwa
Sunday’s Sha Tin meeting has been cancelled because of the state funeral for Hong Kong’s first chief executive, Tung Chee-hwa.

Top jockey Hugh Bowman weighs up surgery v cortisone injection to repair hip labral tear
Hugh Bowman is weighing up whether to undergo surgery or keep his Hong Kong International Races (HKIR) hopes alive with a short-term solution, after scans revealed the top Australian jockey has a labral tear in his right hip. The 46-year-old faces at least four months out of the saddle if he opts for surgery, but a cortisone injection would only force him out of action for a few weeks. Bowman rode at the season opener at Sha Tin on September 6, guiding Joyful Joy to victory, but was forced out...
For Phurba Tenjing Sherpa, climbing Everest now a way to help others ‘fulfil their dreams’
Mount Everest, known to all, understood by few – including someone who has been up and down the treacherous peak almost 20 times.

Celebrated Everest guide Phurba Tenjing Sherpa fears way of life under threat
Phurba Tenjing Sherpa has climbed Mount Everest 18 times over the years but fears he may now be a dying breed, with climate change one day making it unscalable and societal change leaving fewer willing to risk its dangers. The 37-year-old, who runs his own business guiding people up and down Earth’s highest peak, said one of the biggest challenge his industry faced was the fact “the Sherpa community is no longer climbing”. While the veteran guide said he had never been to school, he believed the...
