After Death Care For Your Pet
If it is your pet, you will need to arrange for a service to come and pick up your pet.
Depending on your choices for aftercare, you will call a pet cemetery or a pet cremation service.
There are several options now for pet owners in deciding how they want to honour their pet’s life in their death.
Some pet owners prefer a traditional backyard burial, but many areas do not allow it anymore. If you still wish to bury your pet, you may want to consider a pet cemetery. No matter where you live in the future, you can still visit your pet.
Others prefer cremating their pets and keeping them in their home in a small urn or perhaps spreading their ashes in a memorable place.
Whichever you prefer, contact that service to arrange for pickup of your deceased pet.
Companion animals are part of our families, but inevitably the time comes for us to say goodbye to them due to old age or disease.
Donated pets provide my students with a valuable understanding of how disease affects the body. Further, we report the autopsy findings back to the pets veterinarian. This information is crucial to vets who want to confirm diagnoses, and for giving grieving owners some closure.
Ultimately though, I would urge you to donate your pets body to science. The loss of a pet can be heartbreaking, but there are many ways to create a meaningful legacy from that loss which helps both pets and people.
In another case, two farm dogs scavenged some bones from a cow which had been euthanased on a farm months before. One dog died and the other was seriously ill for several days.
Cancer is the most common cause of death for pet dogs. Many popular breeds get the same cancer at high rates, providing ample valuable research material. These dog cancers are similar in appearance, behaviour, treatments and genetic causes to many human cancers.
