Dogs body put in Parcel

fin12

Horrible story about how a dog died in kennels while owners on holiday.

Can anyone explain what they did to the dogs body to get him into a parcel that size, I can’t understand it? Poor owners and dog.

Image is pretty poor. A dog would certainly curve into a ball .


Adding on tape on the outside of the bag would tighten up the package .

Awful. Poor dog. If that was my dog or cat I wouldnt be able to stop myself causing serious injury to the kennel owner.

Well, the article explained it. They were concerned about parvo virus, told by the vet to seal the animal in a bag in case of contamination to other dogs in the kennel.

Really bizaar way of doing that tbh. But yeah, that's the explanation.

From reading the story the dog seemed to have a complicated medical history and needed constant medication. Sadly I'm not sure such kennels are ever the right place for an animal in need of such care. They just won't get it. You can't trust people to be reliable or care the way you do.

Wrapping the dog up like a piece of meat for the freezer without even a text to the owner is seriously lacking in compassion or humanity.

But I don't think the dog should have been there in the first place.

I'm not sure the outrage here tbh.

Dog owner has quite an ill dog. Fks off on holidays puts dog in kennel. Dog dies due to its illness. Owner of kennel asks vet, vet says to package the dog up sealed to protect other customers dogs


Dog owner comes back and decides to go to twitter about it. If they were that concerned about their ill dog they'd have cancelled their holiday..but they didn't. So it's someone else's fault ..

And she said they left a healthy dog 3 days earlier.
I doubt that.

But there are several others saying they had similar things happen.

why would you do that?
If the vet advised it and the kennel owner complied then you'd be a serious d1ckhead to cause harm to the kennel owner.


would you not determine first if the kennel owner was telling the truth? or you just like rushing to judgement?

That explains why they did it but not how the got his body into that parcel, what did they do to him? Pretty sickening.

A dog is not just for Christmas.

that is grim

A dogsbody is not a dead pet. In general.

There is no way the kennel owner spoke to a vet. If they did they would happily give vet details to owner which they are not doing

Dog had Coilitis. Nothing too serious just needed daily medication to take kennels agreed to administer meds

Seemingly kennel owner had another dog pts and cremated when owner was on holiday without telling owner yet won't disclose vet details either

It's a bit of both in my eyes TBH.

The owner shouldn't have left a dog that is in constant need of attention to a kennel that has no expertise in the matter and seems a tad amateur and should have read the many negative reviews on the place first.

No point having the obligatory whinge on Twitter and Liveline after the fact.

However, the kennel could have been ALOT more sensitive and tactful in the matter. I mean, do wrap the animal up but show a bit of sensitivity in the way you do it.

A healthy dog doesn’t need medication. This dog did.

To everyone justifying the horrific way this dog's body was handled and presented to his grieving family, if you had a relative in the care of a nursing home or childcare facility die in their care, and his or her remains then returned to you bundled up in a bag and wrapped in masking tape, would you accept the "it was to prevent infection" response?

Like it or not, most people who have pets view them on the same level as close friends or family members. Any business which centres itself around looking after domestic animals should be aware of this basic and very obvious fact, and behave accordingly. If it wouldn't be ok to return a human's remains to their family in this condition, it isn't ok to return a dog's remains to their family in this condition either. End of story.

If your family member died from Ebola you'd get the body back wrapped up in one of those black body bags. I think there was nothing wrong with what they done, its a dead dog, people should get over it. Typical trial by social media from a woman who thinks her dog is the number one thing in the world. LMFAO.

Had a look at old reviews for the kennel online, not good.

I completely agree. I can see how they could legitimately think it was indeed parvo (it's not something you can exclude without running tests) and therefore used the wrapper but how hard it is to find an appropriately sized box ffs.

Place needs to be shut down.

First of all, why was owner not notified her dog had died.

Kennel owner did not speak to dog owner but instead snuck out the back door and refused to answer owners questions.

Wont release his vets findings even though dog owner has released her findings from a very reoutable vet (UCD)

Post mortem found no parvo virus but also no food or medication in dogs stomach.

Stop trying to blame the dog owner, the fault clearly lies with kennels.

Operates as a rescue but charges 200 for a dog with no vaccinations. No transparency as to where they get their source of rescue dogs.

Many horror stories similar including a woman whose pet was returned with puncture bite marks all over it.

Videos on his website of miserable dogs wearing cruel prong collars.

Dogs shipped off to UK (Lucrative market for the likes of puppy farmers)

Comments like its a dead dog, people needs to get over it are indicative of animal welfare standards in this Country and why Ireland is the puppy farming capital of Europe.
