Is Pet Cremation the Right Option for You?
by Mark Greer ? 2006, All Rights Reserved

Because our pets are members of our families, pet loss is a tragic event. Many pet owners find themselves unprepared when their pet ages or becomes ill. If you are in one of these situations, or if you’ve recently suffered the sudden loss of your pet, you may be wondering if pet cremation is the right option for you. Allow me to answer several frequently asked questions regarding pet cremation so you can make a confident choice in the matter.

Why Should I Choose Pet Cremation?

When your pet is cremated, his/her remains are returned so that you may place them in a pet urn. This allows you the ability of keeping your pet close should you and your family relocate. It also offers the flexibility of burying some ashes or scattering some ashes in your yard or your pet’s favorite place while keeping the rest in a pet urn.

Is Cremation Just for Small Pets?

No. Cremation is available for pets of every size, from birds to horses.

How Do I Locate A Pet Crematory?

Your veterinarian can usually recommend a crematory or you may find one in your local telephone directory.

What Does the Process of Pet Cremation Involve?

Cremation is performed using a special furnace called a cremation chamber. The process requires extreme heat (usually 1500 ? 1600 degrees Fahrenheit) along with evaporation in the chamber to reduce the body to its basic elements, which are referred to as cremated remains or cremains. Also commonly called ashes, the cremains are in fact bone fragments, which are reduced further in size until they resemble a sand-like substance.

Are There Different Types of Cremation?

Yes, and because there are different types, you’ll want to confirm your preference with your vet or crematory. You’ll need to consider which one of the following methods best aligns with your wishes.

Private Cremation ? A pet is placed in the chamber alone, with no other pets. Upon completion of the cremation, the pet?s cremains are removed from the chamber, processed and returned to the owners for transferring to the pet urn of their choice.

Viewing Cremation - The owner, family and/or friends are permitted to be present in a viewing room during the cremation. This option is not available at all crematories so you’ll want to confirm availability prior to making arrangements if this is your preferred method.

Individual Cremation ? Pets share space in the cremation chamber with other pets. Each pet is separated from the others in the chamber so that their cremains can be returned to the proper owners.

Communal (Mass) Cremation ? Multiple pets are cremated together. This option does not allow for separate cremains. The pets’ ashes are not returned to the owner. It is common practice for these cremains to be disposed of commercially.

How Can I Be Sure I’ll Get My Pet’s Cremains?

Your veterinarian can supply the contact information for crematories he/she has a relationship with. Using a reputable crematory can assure you and your pet are both treated with respect.

How Do I Transfer the Ashes To A Permanent Pet Urn?

Your pet’s cremains will usually arrive in a temporary urn sealed in a plastic bag. The ashes are bagged to prevent accidental loss should the pet urn be dropped or damaged. The bag also helps to prevent damage from moisture. It is preferable to transfer the entire plastic bag of cremains into the permanent pet urn.

If you find it uncomfortable to place the ashes into the permanent urn, family members, friends, or your veterinarian can likely provide the support you need by helping to complete the transfer for you. Most permanent pet urns are not complicated to open having a simple panel with just a few screws.

While pet loss is always a difficult experience, knowing your pet will remain close to you can be enormously reassuring. By understanding the various aspects of pet cremation, you will be prepared to make a choice that will bring you comfort and peace.

Both are members of the African Grey family. Often the larger bird is known as a Congo African Grey. The Timneh is smaller and has a horn colored upper mandible and it also has maroon tail feathers.

How To Train Your Parrot
If you want to properly interact with your parrot, you’ll need to train it. We train our dogs and cats so they don’t become unruly; parrots are no exception. Of course, with parrots, we have an added bonus; they can talk. If your bird was hand fed by humans when you purchased him or her, training will be much easier than with a bird that was raised by its parents.

Only dog food is not enough
The main problem with dog food is the dearth of digestive enzymes, beneficial and delicate vitamins that are so very important for the balanced growth of your dog. Though major dog food producers make every effort to provide a balanced diet of proper nutrients in digestible form, they fail on many counts. One of the main reasons why manufactured dog food fails to be up to mark is the heating process that includes its manufacture. Commercial dog foods are heat processed during their manufacture which in process destroys the beneficial bacteria and digestive enzymes your dog needs. The extreme heat is also the reason for destroying a host of other delicate and useful nutrients. Even the finest, most dietary dog food on the market fails to provide all the essential vitamins and nutrients dogs need to flourish healthily. The gap between what your dog needs and what commercial dog food provides leads to deficiencies which are the cause of issues with your dog s digestive tract and immune system. Over time, these deficiencies show up as symptoms such as hot spots, infections, itchy skin, etc. and lead to: Weight loss Gas problems Joint pain Ear problems Allergies Stool eating Shedding Itching Scratching Skin problems Bad dog odor Bad dog breath Now the question that arises is Why does it happen? The answer is simple. They all are starting with the same deficiency as the dog food lacks digestive enzymes, delicate nutrients or live bacterial cultures. This is what sets the stage for dog food supplement. The dog food supplements are full of vital dog vitamins and nutrients that keeps the dog healthy and away from all other dog health problems. Being a responsible and concerned dog owner, you should be giving your dog a food supplement that has just the right mix of live good bacteria, digestive enzymes, delicate nutrients and vitamins that are necessary for its internal balance for keeping it healthy. The best dog food supplement contains good and balanced amounts of bacteria, digestive enzymes, delicate nutrients and vitamins. Digestive enzymes are complex proteins formed in plant or animal cells involved in digestion that stimulate chemical changes in other substances working as organic catalysts to alter or speed up the assimilation of specific nutrients. The catalytic effect of these enzymes is very nutrient specific. Some of the enzymes work on specific starches, some on specific proteins and some on others fats. Without these digestive enzymes acting as catalysts, nutrients just pass right on through, unutilized. The dog food supplements are a rich source of nutrients in a form that your dog can use to grow, be energetic and be capable of repairing its own body. Nutrients are chemicals ingested by living organisms that are necessary for basic survival. The basic nutrients that are required for cellular survival are protein, carbohydrate, fat, vitamins, minerals, and water. Extreme heat is the main cause of destruction of healthy and essential nutrients in commercial dog food. Dog food supplements also contain bacteria that are essential to keep your dog healthy. These bacteria keep the other harmful bacteria and yeast in check, thereby aiding digestion, boosting the immune system, and increasing resistance to infection. These bacteria function is several ways. They produce organic compounds that change the pH balance which acts as a deterrent for the survival of harmful, disease causing bacteria and yeast. They also produce compounds that act as natural antibiotics. Most of today s commercial dog food disturbs the internal balance of your dog s body. The solution is to use the right dog food supplement that helps in improving and maintaining your dog’s good health so as to restore his internal balance. When these supplements are added to your dog’s diet; digestive enzymes, bacteria and delicate nutrients work to restore the balance that are missing in your dog’s food. If a natural dog food supplement meets your dog’s nutritional needs, your emotional needs, and your budget, then as a caring and responsible owner, you should buy it. It s a small price you would pay for a healthy and energetic dog. I recommend Dr.Harvey dog food.
