    How would you get rid of your dead pet?

    The reason I ask is because I owe the vet 40 euro for dead cat disposal.

    Would you bury him in the garden,go with the incineration,throw him in the brown bin or something else?

    When Fluffy died I flushed him down the toilet.

    Apart from the fact that my heart would break into 50million pieces, I'd probably bury her in my back garden.

    She definitely wouldn't be ending up in the wheelie bin anyway :eek:

    Get the vet to cremate, but if I had a garden I would bury them. :(

    Hang it over the gate or nailed to front door, keeps riff raff and ticket sellers away.

    Optional: a wooden sign with 'not natural causes' scrawled on it hung around the neck for added effect.

    People put their dead pets in the wheelie bin?

    Would you throw a dead human relative in a skip?

    Not really. It would be great karma if I came back as a goldfish though.

    My 14 year old Labrador will not be with us forever so I've been considering this a bit lately.

    My preference would be to bury her in our garden for sentimental reasons, when the time comes obviously and not before!

    There are also pet cemeteries that offer burial and cremation;

    Just bury the poor cat in the garden.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 1,513 ✭✭✭whupdedo


    Throw them up on the tree in your neighbours garden, it can be aright bastard to get them down out of it

    I have to say I find people who see animal welfare and human welfare as equivalently important very disturbing.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 723 ✭✭✭Daqster


    Obviously I wouldn't let it happen in the first place!

    I would just send my pets off to the beautiful sunny farm in Colorado if it they got sick, where all sick animals go.

    Just like my pet did when I was a kid and is still there now :mad:

    Taxadermi??

    Taxadermi??

    Why would a dead animal need a taxi? :confused:

    My comment was tongue-in-cheek. But putting a dead pet in a wheelie bin is disgusting, imagine the smell.

    Well it wouldn't be fit to drive anyway.

    I bring them outside and batter them off my car - enough to cause damage. I then sue the bollix off the owner for the damage their uncontrolled pet caused and use the proceeds to pay for a huge headstone. Originally, I thought this was a dead cert get rich quick scheme as well as providing a great memorial. Sadly, it has proved somwhat unrewarding financially and I no longer am on speaking terms with the pets owner. Or the cars owner, for that matter.

    How could anybody put a beloved pet into a wheelie bin?:confused:

    Hole in the back garden. Dignified ceremony, mindful of the fact that that this not quite like when Gran died.

    Rover/Fido/ Skippy etc can still be part of the scene, if only to grow roses.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,145 ✭✭✭LETHAL LADY


    I've too old fat dogs with not long left in either of them. I'd like to bring them to a taxidermist and get them mounted and I have the same stipulation for myself in my will.

    It's your pet though, not just a random stray.

    Consider it done.

    Not so sure about the dog mounting though.

    What if the taxidermist isn't into necrophilia though?

    My brother has a tank filled with Piranha; So far they've proved adequate at the task, though it was only one of their brethren that they disposed of thus far.

    My cat died a few years back and I was pretty cut up about it.

    I buried her up in a beautiful high spot beside the reservoirs in the Dublin mountains overlooking the city because she was always a roamer and loved heading up into the fields.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 37,316 ✭✭✭✭the_syco


    If buying your pet, you'll have to bury it 4 foot underground.

    My westie was cremated, and is now in a small wooden box which has a photo of her from a few years back, situated on a table near her favourite sunning spot :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,737 ✭✭✭✭kylith


    I don't have much of a garden that I could bury them in, but I have a nice wooded spot picked out for when the time comes. Somewhere her ghost can chase rats for eternity.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,887 ✭✭✭Mariasofia


    Dog that died is buried in the back garden
    Fish is down the toilet
    Neighbours bird that died had been reborn and tweeting in the kitchen to be returned tomorrow.........hope its the same colour
    :-D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,085 ✭✭✭meoklmrk91


    Don't have a back yard to bury them in, I'm a renter and wouldn't feel right burying my pet in some else's back yard, I would probably go with cremation.

    Ya I'm the same. We buried our dog max in the back garden a few years ago. After 15 years it broke my heart to put him to sleep but it was for the best...

    Your buried your dog and then put him to sleep 15 years later?

    Would you throw a dead human relative in a skip?

    You're going to publish your pet's death in the paper, aren't you?

    And have a funeral in the back garden.

    Sure it wouldnt bother the cat, she is dead already;)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,963 ✭✭✭Meangadh


    Aw now I really miss my dog :(

    She was the best little thing. A hug from her made everything better.

    Well there's your answer. Boards comes through again.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,865 ✭✭✭Mrs Garth Brooks


    Our place is so rocky, you wouldn't be able to dig deep enough to bury an animal.

    If I was ever to die at the same time as my dog does, I want her in the coffin with me. She's my best friend.
