Pet Cremation

Generally, veterinary staff have very little understanding of the correct methods to be used for the cremation of pets despite regularly promoting and selling pet cremations to their clients. They make the mistake of believing all pet crematoria are the same. There is a website targetting veterinary professionals that is run by The APPCC. The site gives detailed information on the procedures for a pet cremation as well as details about legislation concerning pet crematoriums and the treatment of pets that have died. In particular it highlights a Pet Cremation Charter that correctly describes the cremation service to the pet owner without any misunderstanding. Until this Charter is adopted throughout the veterinary world pet owners should be wary about the pet crematorium they use.
