Pet Cremation

The loss of a pet is difficult to bear. Days after a beloved pet’s death, many of us still feel the grief and guilt as we try hard to imagine the days ahead without our pet by our side.  It does not matter how the pet died, it results in confusion and a turbulence of emotions. It is also a time when people have to make critical decisions.

 

Your pet was not only a faithful companion but also a part of the family. When he/she is gone, it is important that he/she is laid to rest in an honourable way. There’s no right or wrong way to go about this decision-making process, and it may be worth considering a few options.

 

Deciding whether to choose pet cremation or burial is a personal decision. Whether or not it is right for you, your family and your pet will depend on many factors. There are your religious beliefs, your financial situation, your access to resources, and what you are comfortable with.

 

There are advantages and disadvantages to both cremation and burial. For most people, cremation is the disposition of choice when it comes to pets, mainly because, in general, cremation is more economical, and in most areas, it is readily available. It is not, however, your only option.

 

Many pet owners choose the option of cremation, more as a form of thanks to their pets for having been their life’s companion; others prefer this option because legislation demands it and some because of the environmental and safety impact.

 

How does a pet cremator work? During the process, the animal’s body is placed in a cremator chamber, where high temperatures are achieved in a short time; the temperatures could be as high as 900 to 1000 deg C. In a matter of a few hours, the cremation is done and what is left are the ashes and bone fragments.

 

Municipal corporations all over the world set up cremators for pet animals and their services are available to pet owners.

 

Haat’s cremators supplied for this application include their ADR and PD models for small animals such as dogs, cats and guinea pigs, all of which have given satisfactorily results, in as much as there is no health hazard and issue after using these cremators, the emissions meeting the environmental regulations.

 

The largest animal cremator supplied by us is to Byculla Zoo of Mumbai Corporation a couple of years back.  This is provided with a jib crane for lifting and charging the dead animal to the primary chamber with an automatic charging door.  This also features twin hearths, one for burning the carcass and the second for burning the fat released during burning of the carcass.  The system is provided with a scrubber and tall stack.  The whole system is fully automatic without any   human machine interaction.
