Losing a pet is never easy, and many of us want to give our beloved companions a peaceful resting place at home. But did you know that there are specific regulations you need to follow?
In Australia, the rules around pet burials can vary by location, so it’s crucial to check with your local council first to see what your local laws and regulations are. Here’s what you need to consider:
Council Regulations: Different councils have different requirements regarding pet burials. Some may allow it, while others have restrictions. 
Environmental Considerations: Ensure the burial site is away from water sources and won’t impact the environment. 
Depth and Cover: Typically, it’s recommended that the grave be at least 1.5 meters deep to prevent other animals from disturbing it. 
Health and Safety: Make sure the burial process is safe and hygienic for you and your family. 
By checking with your local council and following the guidelines, you can ensure that you’re respecting both the laws and the environment. 
Cremation or aquamation are generally the most popular aftercare options. The ashes of your beloved pet are returned to you so that you can bury them in the garden with a memorial plaque, or keep them close to you in an urn or memorial keepsake. If you would like to know more about aftercare arrangements, please call Dr Patrick for a private chat, or visit our website.
