How to Properly Bury Your Pet
When pet loss occurs there are several details that must be attended to. In addition to thinking of ways to memorialize your pet, you must also make a decision on what to do with the body of your deceased pet. While this certainly seems like the worst decision to make, it is a necessary one. Many people opt to bury their pet in a pet cemetery or in another special outdoor spot, such as a backyard area or garden.
While burying your pet is a difficult thing to do, when you do it properly, it can actually be a very healing way to memorialize your pet. Many pet owners opt to put pet grave markers in the spot where their precious companion is buried to ensure there is always a spot to visit and remember the joyous times you shared. There are however, some things to keep in mind when burying your pet to ensure they are buried in the proper manner.
To start, decide if you are going to bury your pet in a casket or not. There are a number of fairly inexpensive pet caskets available online for those that can't stand the thought of handling the remains of their pet in any other manner. Some pet owners opt to wrap the remains in a blanket or cloth, sometimes even the pet's favorite blanket (if they had one) and others choose to remain as natural as possible and bury the remains with nothing at all. Be sure to dig deep enough so that the remains are not affected by weather conditions or other animals scavenging for food. If you have opted to bury your pet in a pet cemetery, there is staff on hand that will usually take of these details for you. Also be sure to check both with your state and county to find out what their rules and regulations are regarding pet burial.
Once you've placed your pet in the grave, you, and whoever you invited to the burial, might opt to say a few words or share some thoughts about your pet and what they meant in your life. This is a shortened pet memorial, which can be an accompaniment to the larger, more elaborate service. Once you've covered the grave, place a pet marker of some sort on the space so you will always know it's there. Some pet owners purchase an official pet grave marker engraved with their pet's name, date of birth, date of death and a favorite saying or quote about their pet. Others choose something more natural, like planting a tree or plant over the space to symbolize the great circle of life. This part of the pet memorial is a personal choice and should be decided according to whatever you feel comfortable doing.
Pet loss and the subsequent burying of your pet can be such a traumatic process. By conducting a proper burial, you ensure the remains are ensconced deep in the earth and not accessible to other scavengers to dig up. Moreover, using a pet headstone or plant or tree of some sort as a pet memorial is a great way to have a constant and positive reminder of the profound impact your pet had on your life.

Dog Collar & Leash-Purchase an adjustable nylon or flat leather collar checking it often for fit if your dog is still growing as a puppy.

Burial Versus Cremation - Planning Ahead For Pet Loss
There are certain details in life which are just very difficult to face. This includes thinking ahead about the possible loss of your pet. Pet loss is difficult because our pets provide us with so much unconditional love and friendship. Planning ahead for the loss of your pet can often feel morbid and depressing, but death is a fact of life and being prepared can often help you to make the best and most informed decisions.
The biggest decision you will have to make upon the loss of your pet is whether to bury or cremate. Depending on your personal feelings on the topic, either decision is a sound one with distinct advantages and disadvantages. Here is a breakdown of each to help you make the right decision for you and your pet.
BURIAL
Traditionally, burying a pet has been the more common method of the two options. Many people either choose to bury their pet in a back yard space or in a pet cemetery. You can purchase a pet grave marker to mark the spot where your pet remains are and even hold a memorial service graveside. Burying a pet is usually a fairly inexpensive option and is perfect for people that would like to have a place in which to visit over time.
It's important to be aware of the proper methods of burial when burying a pet, making sure to bury them deep enough to avoid any scavenging animals looking for food. You can bury your pet in a favorite blanket or shroud or in a pet casket. Also be sure to check with your state and county to find out what the pet burial regulations are in your area. They vary from state to state and county to county.
CREMATION
Cremation of pets has increased in popularity in recent years and is starting to surpass burial, with many pet owners opting to display the remains of their beloved pet in a pet urn. Pet urns can be found in a wide variety of sizes, colors and designs. They can be displayed just about anywhere in the home and are the best way to keep the ashes of your pet. Some people also bury the ashes in their yard and mark the spot with a pet headstone.
Cremation is a good choice for people that understand they have busy lives and won't have the ability to visit a graveside on a regular basis. They want to have the remains of their pet close by so they can feel closer to their companion. However, some people have a hard time reconciling the idea of having their pet's remains cremated, so this is certainly a personal decision.
A third option is to have your pet cremated but not keep the ashes. Everyone feels differently about hanging on to the cremains of their pet. Some find it healing to just let the physical remains go which can be symbolic of emotionally letting go too. If you don't keep the remains, you can still have a pet memorial marker made to place in your yard under your dog's favorite tree or near your cat's favorite napping spot to provide a gently reminder of the love and friendship that you shared.
Whichever method you choose for your pet, just be sure you plan it out ahead of time and make a decision you will be comfortable with, even when you are in the process of grieving your pet loss. Planning ahead will not only save you time, but also give you some peace in knowing that these difficult details were taken care of well before you were grappling with the pain of losing a pet.

Early Domestication of Animals
While there is no question that pets are important household family members today, what may be more surprising is the long history of domestication of animals. Present day pet owners are not the first to open up their homes and hearts to animal companions. Present day owners aren't even the first to dress their pets up in outfits or fashion jewelry and look upon their pets as stylish accessories. History suggests that as far back as ancient Egypt, people kept pets their homes and made them a part of their family.
Pets served a dual purpose in ancient times- they were able to provide companionship to their owners, and also to serve important working functions in the house. To some extent, this is still true today. People own working dogs, who act as seeing eye dogs or farm dogs or fire dogs or hunting dogs or who do other tasks around the home. People have cats who catch mice and vermin. While it is perhaps true that today the vast majority of animals kept as domestic pets are brought home more for companionship than for functional purposes, many of the same traditions and ideas remain when it comes to pets as existed in ancient Egypt.
Cats are said to have been the first animal domesticated by ancient Egyptians. Pets were kept in the house to serve a practical purpose during these early times- they killed mice and rats within the house. However, they also served as companion animals for their owners, so their purpose wasn't just functional. According to historical records, most cats were owned by women, and many cats were portrayed as domestic pets of these women.
Although cats were the first animal domesticated, history suggests that dogs were more highly revered in ancient Egypt than cats were. While there is only one historical record of a cat having a name in ancient Egypt, (its name was The Pleasant One) evidence suggests that many dogs were given names in ancient Egypt. In fact, many dogs were given human names and treated as members of the family. While we now bury our deceased dogs and cats in pet urns or under pet grave markers, in ancient Egyptian time, many pets were entombed with their owners in the owner's coffins. Thus, while today we honor pets with online pet memorials, they were honored in ancient Egyptian times by being considered important enough to go to the afterlife with their owners.
Gazelles and monkeys were too unusual pets that were domesticated in ancient Egypt. They were kept in the homes, and monkeys were walked on leashes and trained to perform to entertain their owners. Monkeys were often dressed up as well, and in some cases monkeys who belonged to rich owners were even given their own gold jewelry to wear. Dressing pets and animals is a tradition that still exists today, although now it is primarily applied to dogs. There are ample clothes and accessories available for spoiled dogs, including Halloween costumes, and jewel studded collars.
