I have always buried my dogs when they pass. My son's 16 year old mutt is about to pass on. No way to get him to the vet. I have to dig left handed due to having had foot surgery. Not very good digging that way. Not what I want to do but are there rules against putting carcass in the trash can?

You might call and see if they do a special pickup, some places do.

A mobile vet will do it also

we had ours cremated but that was for our own benefit

DO you mean you can't get him to vet to be put down or to dispose of the body? When our German Shepard passed last year we took her body to the vet's and they have someone who comes and picks them up. I had a buddy who called the city's animal control and they came and got his dogs body.

Just put it in a bag and freeze it until trash day. Drop it in the dumpster, and nobody will ever know the difference.

Unbeleivable

Kinda what I thought.

Do you have room on your property to bury him? I'll be out that way Sunday if you want me to dig a hole for you. Shoot me a pm.

I don't believe there is an actual law against trashcanning a dead pet, but I believe there is a "moral" law we might choose to follow, especially good pet owners.

If you are stumped as to what can be done, ask a neighbor or buddy to help dig or for a ride to the vet. It can't be that hard to ask for a favor. When our 4-legged friends die, family, friends and neighbor acquaintances are always sympathetic/empathetic.

our yard is so rocky i was barely able to bury our Yorkie. took my lab to the vet for cremation.

Disturbing for sure, if you can't physically bury the dog yourself surely you can find someone who can, I could never just discard one of my dogs in the trash, and freeze it till trash day? Cmon man

Was that all the dog was to your son?

I�m pretty sure most cities have ordinances against animal carcasses in the trash cans. Different people view animals in different ways. i bury ours that die.

That's the reason I took our German Shepard's body to the VET. They gave us option to have her cremated and returned to us, but we passed. It was already hard on our daughter, to have ashes to deal with would have made it worse.

Man dont throw the dog in the trash. I am no bleeding heart but I have a dog and that just aint right. Throwing it in the trash.

If you need help and can wait till Saturday I can dig a grave for the animal. Just shoot me a PM. Even have a shovel.
