Goodbye Dear Logo

Honoring the Bond

Founded on empathy, we are a team of veterinarians and pet lovers dedicated to dignifying the final farewell.

Our Story

Goodbye Dear was born from a shared belief that the end of a pet's life should be met with the same love and devotion as the beginning. Our founder, Calvin Yau, experienced his own losses and realized that families needed more than just medical services—they needed a compassionate guide through the emotional journey of saying goodbye.

Our Core Values

Arrive Within 60 Minutes

As pet owners ourselves, we deeply understand the panic and helplessness of that moment. Goodbye Dear has a large in-house fleet and can arrive at any designated location within 60 minutes to provide immediate pet body collection and assistance. We believe "swiftness" is not just efficiency, but respect and care—appearing when you need us most, so love doesn't have to wait.

Clarity & Transparency

Our entire pet cremation process can be witnessed by clients in person or via video. All fees are available on our website, WhatsApp, or email, and staff are strictly prohibited from any hard-selling. We want owners to choose the right arrangements comfortably. Every conversation is recorded, ensuring honesty, respect, and truth are our cornerstones.

ISO 9001 Certified

Every part of our process is under strict quality control and has passed the ISO 9001 certification. This isn't just a certificate; it's a responsibility—representing our systematic approach to guarding your trust. In this industry, achieving this standard is extremely rare. Goodbye Dear uses this to provide the most secure experience for every owner and pet.

Hong Kong Top Service Brand Award

For eight consecutive years, we have won the "Hong Kong Top Service Brand Award." This honor belongs to our team and every owner who trusts us. We uphold our three core values: "Integrity, Respect, Transparency," connecting heart-to-heart to become the most trusted brand in the industry.

Compassion & Continuation

Founded in 1994 and rooted in Buddhist principles, Goodbye Dear has held over 200 pet ceremonies. We believe the ceremony's meaning is not in the form but in the vow—may the pet find peace, and may the owner find solace. We also promote "Adopt Don't Shop" through our "Goodbye Dear Charitable Foundation," turning a past farewell into a new beginning of happiness.
