call your vet to see if he can help you  if you have other pets for their health you should try to find out what the cause of his passing was so if it is a virus or bacteria or some disease it won't pass to other animals you could cremate him and keep his remains in a eurn or you could tak ehim to an area that you know of where there is a lot of wods and bury him there and then visit that area hope this advice helps and im srry for your loss

Answer 5

If you don't want to bury him, the only other option is cremated.x My Aunty did this with her big golden retreiver and I think she buried or scattered the ashes and their is a little cross in her garden as well and a flower memorial. :( very sad to hear your about loss x

Answer 6

Eat it or burn it

Answer 7

Well the cheap way is to  go for a long ride to the country side. Wait till no one is around and either bury him out there or just leave him. Nature will take its course.  

Answer 8

Well, I see you skipped the whole mourning thing and went right to "lets bury this big thing". If your backyard fits, disregarding if it would mean ruining it, I'd say the dog that you loved might be worth the trouble.

If you just don't give, then bury him somewhere in a forest or something. Animal control might have just the thing for him if your too lazy to get to a forest.

Answer 9

Bury him!

And may he rest in peace.

Answer 10

your local animal control has a way of dealing with the remains.

Answer 11

Sorry about your loss.

The animal shelter in my city charges a small fee to cremate pets that have passed on.

Answer 12

well you can't just throw him away;

he deserves a proper burial :/

Answer 13

that is sad...

Answer 14

You can take him to any vet or animal shelter and have him cremated. It will cost more if you want to keep the ashes. I'm sorry for your loss.

Answer 15

call the vet.

Answer 16

i don't see how he can be to big to bury in the back yard. Your parents have a big yard??? are there any secluded woods near you???? They would be good spots

hope this helps

Answer 17

You throw him in the stew!

There's even a song about it called ,"Dead puppies aren't much fun" Goes like this:

My puppy died, late last fall

He's still rotting in the hall

Dead puppies aren't much fun!

No! No! NO!

Mom says puppies days are through, she's going to throw him in the stew

Dead puppies aren't much fun!

Answer 18

take it to your local vet, they dispose of them (after they put them down).. sorry to hear about your loss

Answer 19

It is best to take his body to your nearest Veterinary Clinic where they can dispose of it properly. For the most part they cremate the remains, but will ask you if you want it as part of a communal cremation (with other animals in which you don't receive the remains back) or if you want it done privately (you can choose how you want the remains back; scatterbox, urn, wooden box etc.) Either option will cost you some money however.

Hope this helps, sorry to hear about your loss.

Answer 20

since its your dog it deserves proper burial.

Im sorry it died!

Answer 21

Contact your local humane society, SPCA, animal control, or other shelter. They have steps in place to handle this situation and can also help you through the grieving process.

Answer 22

But you just answered a question talking about your dog???

did he just die?

from what?

did you take the dog to a vet?

this is kinda fishy???

Answer 23

Hi, I'm sorry for the loss of your family member.

Actually many vets offer a cremation service.  You leave your dog's body with the vet, a service picks him up and cremates him.  Price depends on if you want the ashes back and his size.  If you don't want the ashes back, he will be cremated with a group-that is the least expensive way to dispose of his body

Answer 24

cook & eat it!
