You should try to go at least 3 feet. A hint that worked for us- We had to wrap her in plastic, then put down dirt, then chicken wire, then more dirt. Then we covered the whole area with beautiful fieldstone-To keep any animals out. We put a stone up and planted flowers. I am very sorry for you and the loss of your dog. I know how bad it hurts. I visit my dogs grave everyday (she died in April) and in my heart I know she is with me. I hope you find that peace as well. Good Luck.

I would dig more than 3 feet. And wrap your dog in a bag of some sort. I've had to deal with a dog not being buried deep enough and when decomposition set in it was horrific. That sounds disgraceful to speak of such and I don't mean it in a cold way. I apoligize if it seemed that way. I'm sorry your baby dog died. I lost four dogs in a house fire two years ago and it was heartbreaking.

At least 3 feet deep and if possible, layer rocks over the top of the grave to keep other animals from trying to dig there. Very sorry to hear of your loss.

About three to four feet should do as then you won't have to worry about any future dogs digging her up. You might also want to consider having her cremated and throwing her ashes on her favourite walking route.
I'm very sorry for your loss. I know what it is to lose a beloved pet due to vet incompetence, especially when it's a pet so young.

omg....I am sooooooo sorry! I know how you feel. We had to put our dog to sleep on Tuesday because she could no longer urinate. She had bladder cancer. We are getting her cremated and burying the ashes. Since yours was a puppy, it probably wasn't very big. I've heard that the hole should be at least 2-3 feet deep. Why not consider cremation? You won't have to dig such a big hole, and you won't have to worry about anything digging it up! I am so so soooooooo sorry for your loss!

Very deep - at least 4 feet deep. Put in the chemical called lye on top of it (read the bag first) and cover completely. May your pet RIP

wow, this is a sad question. i guess i would say that it depends on how big the dog is. for a small dog i'd dig it about 3 feet, a large dog, about 5-6. sorry for your loss :(

it depends on how big the dog was. It should be more than 3 feet deep in my opinion
