About Atlantic Pet Aftercare

Our Story

Atlantic Pet Aftercare was founded with a simple purpose — to provide families and veterinary partners with compassionate, professional, and dignified cremation services for the pets who mean the world to us.

Our purpose

Make a difficult process easier to trust.

Pet aftercare is both emotional and operational. Families need compassion. Veterinary teams need a provider that is responsive, consistent, and accountable. Atlantic is being built to deliver both.

01

Dignity

Every pet is handled with care and respect.

02

Accountability

Clear identification and documented handoffs matter.

03

Communication

People should understand what is happening and what comes next.

04

Professionalism

From pickup through return, details reflect the standard of the brand.

Meet the Founder

Zachary Lattanzio

Founder & President

I founded Atlantic Pet Aftercare because families and veterinary teams deserve to know exactly who is caring for their pets and what happens throughout every step of the aftercare process.

As a U.S. Army Infantry veteran, I learned the importance of accountability, attention to detail, and following through on every responsibility entrusted to me. I later spent more than a decade working with mission-critical technology, training customers, and supporting complex operations around the world. Those experiences shaped the standards I am bringing to Atlantic Pet Aftercare.

Our goal is to provide Central Florida with a modern, transparent approach to pet cremation—one built around secure chain of custody, respectful handling, clear communication, and dependable local service.

Atlantic Pet Aftercare will be equally committed to supporting grieving families and the veterinary professionals who guide them through one of the most difficult moments of pet ownership. When someone places a beloved pet in our care, I want them to feel confident that their pet will be treated with dignity from the moment we arrive until their memorial items are returned home.

Veteran-Owned. Locally Accountable.

Atlantic Pet Aftercare is preparing to serve Central Florida beginning in early 2027.

01
Arrangement

Service details are recorded.

The veterinary clinic or family selects the service and memorial options. Pet and owner information is entered and reviewed before transfer.

02
Identification

A unique identity follows the pet.

Identification is assigned and verified at custody points so each case remains connected to its authorized service information.

03
Transfer

Pickup is documented.

Collection and transportation follow established procedures designed for respectful handling and clear chain-of-custody records.

04
Care

The authorized service is completed.

Cremation and memorial preparation are completed according to the selected service and operating procedures.

05
Return

Prepared, verified, and returned.

Completed memorial packages are quality-checked, matched to the case record, and returned to the clinic or arranged recipient.

Why it matters

Trust is built through a process people can understand.

Families may never see the operational side of pet aftercare. Veterinary teams do. Atlantic is being built so both can have confidence in what happens next.

Serving Central Florida

Independent. Local. Built for long-term veterinary relationships.

Atlantic is focused on becoming a trusted regional partner rather than a distant, anonymous provider.
