I mean, instead of cremating or burrieng an animal, can people stuff then? that way they can display it and have it around forever.

Yes, you can stuff them, you'll need to contact a taxidermist in your area, and be ready to spend some coin.

Most states' taxidermy regulations do not allow house pets to be stuffed. Only game animals can be stuffed in most cases. I personally think pet-owners should be able to pay for taxidermical services if they wish!

You can do it--any taxidermist will do it for you. I had a gf that was going to have her Scottie stuffed when he died. She didn't do it though. To me the whole idea seems creepy--but to each their own. After all Roy Rogers had his horse Trigger stuffed.

Sure you can! I guess you go to the taxidermist to get this done. Call around now so when he does pass on, you'll be prepared so you don't have to try to preserve the body.

I have heard of it but most taxidermists will not because they can not get the eyes right

Although you want to keep your dog forever I think it would make it hard to see your dog everyday and he won't be alive.
