Preserved Pets

Preserved Pets operates in Moreno Valley, California, offering taxidermy services with a focus that extends beyond traditional game animals to include companion animals and exotic species. They hold a 3.5 rating from 11 reviewers, reflecting a niche service that draws strong opinions from a specific clientele. Moreno Valley sits at the heart of the Inland Empire, giving the studio access to a dense urban population alongside hunters and collectors from the surrounding foothills. It's a studio that serves people looking to preserve memories as much as trophies.

Preserved Pets specializes in the preservation of companion animals, a process that involves freeze-drying or traditional mounting techniques to retain the natural appearance of a pet after death. Beyond pet work, the studio also handles standard taxidermy requests including small mammal mounts, reptile preservation, and bird work. Freeze-drying is a particularly popular option for pets because it maintains the animal's natural size and facial expression more faithfully than traditional methods. Clients can often choose from a range of poses to create a natural resting or sitting display.

Preserved Pets serves Moreno Valley and the broader Inland Empire region, including clients from Riverside, Perris, and Hemet. The studio's phone-based intake process means people from across Riverside and San Bernardino counties can coordinate a drop-off without much hassle.
