I am dreading the solar day I lose my darling dogs, which volition hopefully non be for many many years still. Already I'm wondering what I would do when they die. Burying them in a pet cemetery seems reasonable, but burial them in my garden seems unwise - it's small-scale & what happens if we move house one twenty-four hour period? Even so I tin can't bear the thought of vets but putting dead pets in some kind of bin or incinerator. What exactly is their procedure & what is your preference?

I'chiliad sure you can take a pet's "cremation" and yous can then scatter the ashes where yous like.

If non and yous ask the vet to dispose of the dead animal, it'll just exist incinerated !!!

I had our last dog cremated and and then I had the ashes dorsum in a wooden box. I put them in the garden, equally nosotros are now moving I went to dig the box up the other twenty-four hours to find information technology has disintegrated and gone powdery along with the ashes, (it has been buried for 6 years) to be honest I am glad because she loved this garden and now she's "staying" hither even though that probably sounds daft to some people.

A sorry matter to contemplate I concord..........I have ever had a cat or two in my firm for more than 70 years..........I e'er bury my cats in their favourite spot in the garden.........merely seems the nicest thing I could think of and takes up so piddling room.

a girl i used to work with was really in love with her dogs. she had one cremated and kept the ashes in a petty wooden box with a little engraved plaquared on the front. she kept it in her business firm on a shelf.

If you take your pet put down at the vets or take your dead beast to the vets information technology is not"cremated" as we think of cremation.

It is simply put in a plastic sack and dumped in a room with other bodies until information technology is collected to be incinarated by some worker who treats it like whatsoever other rubbish.

Sorry to be blunt but that's how it is washed.

Hmmm... when the time comes to accept an beast put to sleep make sure the vet is informed of YOUR specific wishes as to what y'all want to do with the body .Some people are and then upset and only leave the surgery with no thought as to what may happen to the torso.
Otherwise they are stored in a freezer and disposed of in an incinerator past the local authorities .And then make your wishes clear.

Most vets in my area (East Anglia) use a pet crematorium and they are collected and cremated all together merely they also do individual cremations when you can go your own dogs ashes dorsum. They are also quite a few 'private' pet crematoriums now that are run by 'domestic dog' people, and their services, although not cheap, tend to exist a bit more sympathetic. Personally I leave them at the vets and allow them go to be cremated - I have no belief in whatever 'afterlife' or feelings for ashes beingness scatterered - I prefer to recall them as they were.

You tin can also buy pet coffins to coffin them in or accept them cremated in or caskets for their ashes. Your local vet will accept details of pet crematoriums or endeavor Yellow Pages.

Agree with shaneystar - let the vet know in advance what your wishes are and they will keep information technology on file, then yous won't take the upset when the fourth dimension comes.

What lankeela says is very truthful ..although some of us would like to believe our pets and our loved ones become to a "hereafter " nobody knows do they?
I certainly don't believe in an afterlife and would non want anyone weeping and wailing when I am gone. I hope to have a humanist funeral and take my ashes scattered wherever.
My style of looking at it is that our pets take hopefully had a long and happy life with responsible owners who have done the right thing for them at the cease and life goes on.
Enjoy your dogs now robertson and worry well-nigh things like that when the fourth dimension comes.
I have wept over many a dog but my conscience tells me I did my all-time for them.
It's each to their own really and whatsoever brings the private the greatest condolement and what they believe in..

shaneystar y'all and I have a lot in common! Actually I am non having a funeral at all - I am leaving my body (!) to a medical schoolhouse at a hospital (when they have 'finished' with information technology they cremate it). If I had to have a funeral I would have one of those special coffins painted xanthous and shaped like a skip!

Back to the pets, at that place is a 'woodland burial site' for 'organic' (not sure if that is the right word for it) burials nigh Norwich and I believe they besides do pet burials.

Hi again ..this must be Colney Woods lankeela....it's actually very lovely and where I want to go. They practise indeed do pet burials. You are in the same area every bit me I believe ..Norfolk.

Indeed I practise.

Look at this

I work for the Bristol vet school at landford we accept a driver that collects the bodies of the animals from the vets that the owners practise non want back, he brings them back to the main school and the students use them much the same mode equally human med students utilize cadavers they disect them to learn all about the animal, I call back this is really adept its grooming people that will assistance and save the lives of our footling friends.

clair are the owners of these expressionless animals aware of what is going to happen to them?

As far as I know they take to sign a disclamer or something I don't really deal with this sort of matter though I just know that this happens, I think that its quite good though in a way we can give back to other people by donating our bodies to medical science and our little furry friends can do the aforementioned for there own kind

With all the recent talk of conservation of reduction in pollution I call up information technology is of import not to waste valuable resources like protein.
I propose you lot read the famous Korean Cook-Book: '1 Hundred Style to Wok your Dog'.

I am going through this trouble at the moment. My dog is 14 years old and has had a skilful life. I am going with the communication from the vets.

Kepla: You want to call back almost others feelings. Leaving posts like yours can be very upsetting for pet owners. Y'all are a lamentable sadistic person, if you lot own a pet I feel lamentable for information technology.

Nosotros have just received the devastating news that our beloved six and a one-half year one-time rottie Max probably has a bone tumour. He had his 10 rays yesterday and his chest 10 ray suggests that the tumour has started on his lungs. This is an unfortunate affair with this breed that osteosarcoma seems to spread quicker than in other breeds with the same problem.
All the same, our vet has said that it looks to be an unusual tumor(and seemingly aggressive) so has asked for a second opinion and has sent the x rays off today.
We are now playing the waiting game but recall that this will be bad news too.

Due to the credible rarity of his condition, we are looking to find out more about donating his torso (if the news is bad), to veterinary science so educatee vets can larn more about his condition.
I strongly believe that this would help u.s.a. to know that he was helping others even after his passing, withal upset we may be at the idea of losing him presently
