if you had the dog that long and cant afford to buy it a caskit then make one but dont just throw it in the trash burial will also give you closure and you will need it if you love your dog mine died at16 and it was like losing a family member mine is in my yard with head stone he was part of my family do whats best for you to remember the dog or the same as you would hope people will do for you when you die

Your vet can give you options. I have handled it both ways. With one of my dogs, I asked the vet to take care of the remains. I wish I had known that cremation was an option back then. Our second dog was cremated. We knew we were going to move and didn't want to leave her there. You can bury the ashes if you want to. Or take them to a place that you enjoy going (but check to make sure it is ok to dispose of the ashes there). Burying the remains is the cheapest way to go. Just make sure that you put him/her deep enough so that another animal won't try to dig them up. I would also wrap them in a blanket or something or with their favorite toy.

I just had to put my 14 year old Akita to sleep early on 1/5/07. The vet had her cremated and it was very reasonable as long as I didn't ask for a private cremation. I believe it is against the law to bury a dog and I would advise against it unless it is a very small dog.

In most states it is illegal to dispose of an animal yourself (bury it anywhere).
We had a 12 year old husky that snuck out one night and got hit on the big road. I called humane society and they had him burried in a local pet cemetary at no cost to me..
Other than that, there is not much you can do. Any vet office will dispose the pet but I do not EVEN want to guess how.
Call around your area and see what laws are in place and what your options and costs are.

You have to check the laws in your area. Likely it's okay to bury the body in your own yard, but not necessarily. You might save up for cremation, then you'll have your pet with you no matter where you live. You have to check tho to see if you can bury a cat on someone else's land or a public park etc.. Cause I think it's likely that they won't let you.

I wrap by dogs in blankets, put them in a heavy plastic tote with lid, duck tape the lid, use a permanent marker to write their name, birth/death date on the lid and have my husband dig a huge, very deep hole and bury them. I have also had made headstones ,out of sand rock with their pictures and name engraved on them.Good thing I have a big back yard. As to whether or not you could bury him in the middle of a mountain, I really don't know,but I'd be afraid a wild animal might dig it up. Could you bury him in your back yard?

We buried our 15 year old dog last Dec.we just made her a box and dug a deep hole and put her in.You should bury your dog where you want to.If you want it in the Mts. then do it.It will be hard but you can do it....
