where do they go?

If the pup is owned, the owner decides what to do with the body. The owner can be given the body to be buried in a yard or in an animal cemetery; or else the body is cremated and the ashes given to the owner in a box, later to be placed into an urn or buried.
If the cause of death is unknown and the owner wishes it, a necropsy can be performed to determine the cause of death. (This is especially important for breeders, who must be careful to make themselves aware of any genetic defects.)
If the body is not returned to the owner, the veterinarian disposes of it, usually through incineration.
Euthanized animals which are unwanted (such as those dumped at shelters) are usually incinerated (cremated) to avoid a health hazard; but they may also be transported to a landfill without incineration. Some are used to educate veterinary students or to conduct various experiments, especially those which would be cruel to perform on live animals--for example, experimental surgery in the first stages of its development.
In the past, unwanted animals killed in shelters have been used to make fertilizer and other nonfood animal products, just like other livestock; but this is no longer common (health hazard--the fear of spreading disease).

They are usually put in the freezer, sorry but it's true, until the crematorium can pick them up. I hope you understand that the puppy feels nothing when it is being euthanized. It's similar to an extreme dose of anesthetic. Very peaceful.
If you had a good or bad experience with the vet that you dealt with, check this site out and post your comments. It's free and could be very helpful to many other people.

Alot of it depends on the facility
Most of the time after they are put to sleep,they are cremated but in some places that don't have such equipment simply put the pups in the trash for the trash pick up and when this happens they will usually end up in a landfill.
This is another reason for spaying and neutering. . .cuts down on the number of pups that have to be euthanized.

I don't know what standard proceedure is, but the town vet where my grandparents live actually came to the house to euthanize their (very old and quite large) dog. The vet also took the body and had it cremated and returned to my grandparents for burial in their back yard (they live in the country).
As for the rest of her, she was a great dog and protective of any new family member regardless of how many times she'd met them, so I'm sure she's in Doggy Heaven.

depends on your vet. some vets will let you have the choice of either taking the body with you or having the pet creamated. some vets cremate the pet right there on site, others send them to pet cemetaries where you can either have their ashes returned to you or they will do what they call a congregate cremation, where the dog will be cremated along with other pets. and then those ashes are usually spread in an area of the pet cemetary. as for other options you can do as much as you want. pet cemetaries offer full burials with visitations and a complete burial. whatever you can budget and are comfortable with can be done. but don't feel like you are not being fair to your pet. what you do after euthanasia is for you, you have done everything for you pet and your pet will know it. i'm very sorry.

i think of they might desire to acquire to shelters and rescues to be socialized and accompanied out. sure, i might undertake a puppy or person that have been in that style of situation. My $ could be going to the seem after or rescue to assist their activities and to no longer the breeders. I certainly have an person now that I accompanied in the past this 365 days that got here from a puppy mill kind situation, in spite of a few scientific matters that would desire to be dealt with, she's a large canines!

In my region they are boxed and taken to a special portion of the county landfill where they are dumped.
