If my dog has to be put to sleep, how could I dispose of his body?

Some owners wish to have the body of their dog returned to them for burial at home, although most people prefer their vet to dispose of the body for them. (Subject to local laws, any grave should be made at least 3 feet (90 cm) deep.) Usually the vet will have an arrangement with the local authority to collect any bodies either for incineration or burial, whichever method of disposal is available in the area. There are also various pet cemeteries and crematoriums that can offer their services, and usually your vet will be able to give advice about the facilities which are available locally.
