What to do in the face of sudden dog death

What to do when the dog dies

This is a very sensitive subject, and one that we do not normally want to deal with. If you are the owner of an older dog, you have probably thought about what you should do when the moment of his death. But sometimes, it is not possible to prepare that moment, since it comes suddenly.

Face the sudden death of your pet, it is something difficult for anyone. In the moment of pain, you can't think about what to do, so you better have one notion of steps that you must give once the inevitable happens.

When our dog is sick, or is very old, we already hope that he will leave soon. However, on many occasions, they leave sooner than we expect. Even young dogs sometimes die from various causes. Be prepared for this moment it is essential, since when it happens it is not easy to think about the legal and practical details.

The first thing to think about is that if your dog just dies at home, you will have to deal with it. If you are not able to pick up the body, you can ask someone to friend to help you, or someone who is not so close to your pet. If there are children, avoid them seeing it, so that they always remember it from the photos, with a good image.

You should also know that currently it is forbidden to bury the pet, even in your garden. When he dies you should call your reference veterinarian, where you will leave him, since they always have a collection of deceased pets. If you wish, they can give you back the ashes of your dog, so that you can give him a proper funeral. It is a way for the whole family to say goodbye to the pet with the dignity it deserves.
