Some owners choose to bury their pet at home. This option reduces the cost of dead dog or cat disposal by avoiding expensive cremation costs and gives a final resting place to beloved pets, at home. If you choose to bury your dog or cat, check with your vet that their remains are not hazardous to human health before proceeding and choose a place away from water sources.When burying a dog or cat at home, ensure that their grave is no less than three feet deep, to ensure that their remains stay covered. You may also wish to mark the burial site with a covering of stone, or even a potted plant.
