My dog just passed away. What are the next steps for their body?

I am so sorry for your loss. You can bury him in your back yard and put her body to rest. Maybe you can even say a few words to bless her body as you lay her to rest. If this is not possible then you can try contacting your local animal shelter or low cost clinic (a quick google search should bring one up) to see if they will take her body for you for you. Again I am so sorry for your loss. Best wishes and take care.

First off, I'm very sorry you lost Princess Babycakes. It is always horrible to have a pet pass away, and please accept my condolences for your loss. You can bury her body if you'd like in your yard, and create a little memorial for her. You could also take her body into the vet, and they can create her for you for a price, and you could get the ashes back. I hope this helps, again I'm sorry for your loss!

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! This is often times done through a veterinarian. You can for example take Benji to your veterinarian if that happened and usually they would take care of his remains in the way you prefer, including cremation which is usually done by a separate entity. If you are concerned that Benji is declining and you are concerned about his health, it would be a good idea to have him evaluated by your veterinarian to ensure that he is not suffering. Have a good night!

You can drop your deceased cat off at a local vet's clinic, and for a fee, they will send the body to be cremated. If you chose, you pay a bit more to have the ashes returned to you. I would call local vet clinic's to discuss having this done.

You are very welcome. Please accept my deepest sympathies for your loss. Losing a beloved pet is extremely difficult, especially when they pass suddenly, and I hope that as time passes, your grief will ease. It sounds like you have given him a lovely burial spot, and you can consider making a headstone for his resting place as a memorial to him. You are in the my thoughts.

I'm so sorry to hear about the passing of Motis. It sounds like she was very loved and had a wonderful home to live her life in with a loving family.

I'm so sorry for your loss! Pets grieve, just as we do. Try to keep your dog's daily routine as normal as possible, while giving your dog some extra attention and exercise as a distraction. Ultimately, grief takes time to process for our four legged friends, just as it does for us.
