Basic Information on Dog Cremation

By Allan Hatchell


Loss of a pet is a thing that we encounter at some point and just like the people we love it is a devastating experience. Dealing with it may cause one to be very confused at this time because they do not know exactly what to do. One of the most confusing things is how to dispose of the body. Dog cremation is a method of doing this.

The procedure is carried out in a chamber specifically built for it. The process involves very high temperatures which are high enough to consume the body. In most cases though it does not consume the bones or metals since the temperatures are not that high.

The period that it will take is determined by the size of the pet although usually it will not be longer than two hours. After that combustion a cooling period is observed so that it cools down before the ashes get swept off. Most people get an urn to collect the ashes in.

There are different methods of pet cremation services which one chooses from. It is important to know all what is available for you beforehand. The first method is referred to as communal cremation. They combust a large number of pets together in a group. The ashes all burn together and get disposed together. They are usually disposed in a general public area. Many pet owners do not go for this because of the generality.

The second procedure is referred to as private. It also involves several pets but not such a large number as the previous method. The bodies are separated by use of bricks or just space so that the ashes do not mix. It saves on cost but they use less energy too. Different owners can be involved in the send off since they are not so many.

Lastly is the individual type. As the name suggests combustion is done on one body at a time. It is more expensive than the other methods but more private considering what an owner desires. A good number of people prefer this but usually other factors come into play and they have to opt for other methods. Whatever one settles for they need to be comfortable with it.

It is also important to have prior arrangements concerning the urns. This needs to have been decided before dog cremation is done. The process needs to be carried out with an urn in place for a complete send off. This is usually a difficult time and a pet owner needs to have everything in place for closure.
