hey, /an/

I'm rather young and just 'inherited' a very old cat and dog from a recently deceased relative. They're very sweet and I'm taking as good of care of them as I can but they're quite old. Even the dog's a bit older than me.

If they pass away, what do you do with them? Especially if you live in the city. And I'd want to do it respectfully so tossing them like trash isn't something I'd do, and I doubt it's even legal.

Dogs don't live that long.

I don't own any pets myself, so I don't quite know.

Some cultures consider burying a corpse in a box and letting it rot to be very sick and disrespectful (it's interesting to note that some of said cultures also eat their dead).

You could try doing something similar, i.e. putting the remains of the deceased to practical use.

Get them cremated. There are cremation services for animals.

Call your local vet or animal shelter and find out what they suggest doing when the animals die. I say animal shelter because you might be able to talk to someone there about humane disposal, even though those people have the burden of having to put animals down. They might be sympathetic to your dilemma.

My dad always just buried them in the field behind our backyard, but it doesn't sound like you're down with anything like that.

You can bring them to petsmart, they will take care of them. I know it seems kind of aweful, but our family was in the military and we didn't own our own home, so it was really an only option. I am sure a local vet will do the same.

OP, you should contact your local animal control. They'll do a pickup service for deceased (read: roadkill) animals, and will usually also pick up pet animals. Local regulations apply, so call around now and see what's in store for you. There may be a pickup fee.

Oooor, you can contact a vet who will charge you for the transport fee, and will give you the option of paying for an urn from whatever service they use.

And you can't bring them to PetSmart, they only have adoption groups. You can bring it to one of their adoption groups, but not to PetSmart.
