I was at the vet with Monday once when a man came to pick up his dog's ashes.
He had tears in his eyes and it was so sad.
His dog was diabetic and blind, so he was also donating syringes to the vet. He told me that he still looks down on the floor to make sure he does not step on his dog.
I felt like hugging him.
I am so sorry for your loss. |
this is Germany, vets do not do that, it costs several hundred euros to cremate a dog. They have a normal type funeral home like for people, except for dogs, they even have a viewing area to view your pet. I like this way, I think it makes it even more human and more of a real feeling of loosing a family member which the babies are to us. They creamate the animals in the north of Germany and then send it back to the funeral home, then the funeral home calls to say the remains are there for you to collect. They have beautiful dog cemeteries with headstones and so on. But vets do not do this, nor is it cheap
