Services
Once we have communicated the event to our pet's registry we will have two options:
- Call municipal services
- Call a pet funeral home
The municipal services will remove the body of our pet although the best option is undoubtedly go to a pet funeral home who allow us cremate our friend and keep his ashes if we wish.
There are many people who decide to keep their pet's ashes and a dignified, elegant and subtle option is to acquire personalized and quality urns to remember your faithful friend forever.
In the image we can see Petributes urns.
Duel
Although death is part of the natural process of life, it is true that a situation like this is hard to accept. Remember in a positive way all the adventures that you have lived with your pet, the good times that she has given you and always keep in your memory the great friendship that you have shared
Sometimes when faced with a loss of this type, many owners never want to repeat this event but from our site we want to remember the number of pets that live in kennels and shelters around the world. If you have overcome the loss of your pet, do not hesitate to think about adopting a homeless dog, without a certain destination and without a companion as good and caring as you could be.
