How To Bury The Body After Administering In Home Pet Euthanasia

By Essie Osborn


Putting down your animal companion is actually a sad this. This is especially difficult if the animal companion you are planning to put down is one you have been together with for a long period of time. Giving the okay for this task is not an easy decision to make, no matter who the owner is.

When you agree to put down an animal, it is important to have a Phoenix, AZ veterinarian do it. This is so that you can ensure that the in home pet euthanasia does not cause pain to your animal. There should be little to no pain during the said task. If not, then it is just not worth it to hire that veterinarian for this task.

If you are finished with the procedure, then the problem that lies next is the after care. You have to consider what you have to do to the body of your animal companion. Most of the time, owners will prefer to bury their animal companion. Here are some considerations you have to pay close attention to when dealing with the after care.

First, get the permission of your landlord if you are renting a house when you plan to bury the body in the back yard. If you are living in a flat where the back yard is shared with the other tenants, then you have to ask the permission not only of the property manager but of the other tenants as well. There might be tenants who will be against you doing this.

Be aware of any cables or piping that are located under the ground. Do not just push your shovel in and start digging. It is necessary for you to be aware of the spot of the water pipes, sewage pipes, and other underground cables. If you do this, then you can avoid accidentally hitting and damaging the said pipes.

Know how deep you should go with digging. It is only normal to have a depth of at least six feet for the grave. This is definitely the ideal measurement for your animal companion's grave. With this, the animal companion's body will not leak out any bad smell. It is also safe from the scavenging of other animals.

You may have other animals back home so you need to make certain that they do not have easy access to your deceased pet's burial site. Dig as deep to avoid leaking odors, as mentioned earlier. Let the area remain in place for six months to allow decomposition. Lastly, do not let your other pets see you digging. This will just cause them to imitate what you did.

It might even be useful for you if you predig the hole before you put down the little animal. By doing this, you can discover any issues related to the soil, the digging, and many others. You can sort out any issues you discover immediately as well.

You should pick a time when the soil is soft when you dig. If the ground is still soft, then you do not have to go through a lot of trouble just to dig. This means to say that you should schedule the administering of the said procedure at a time when digging the soil is easier.
