Dogs and any other pet are a member of the family. When the moment of his loss arrives, we are faced with a duel and a complicated situation. If the dog dies at the vet, he takes care of all the procedures, but if he dies at home, you have to be well informed of all the steps to follow.
The most common thing is to call the trusted veterinarian, collect the body of your pet and take it to the veterinary clinic, since they usually have a space where they can keep the canine’s corpse for several hours until cremation. If the dog dies at the clinic, they take care of the whole process directly.

Communicate it in the identification register
From a legal point of view, notice must be given to the identification registries. The animal was registered in this database and without the communication of the death they will not be able to cancel it. The procedures are simple. Simply remove the pet’s microchip (there are 15 digits) and thus its death is registered in the database.
Each autonomous community has its own animal identification registry. For example, in the Community of Madrid, where more than 280,000 dogs live, the identification of dogs and cats is mandatory, and facilitates control, recovery of lost animals, health control, as well as statistical and epidemiological studies.
Individual and collective cremation
In Spain, the law prohibits the burial of animals in unauthorized places and also “uncontrolled waste”. Therefore, you have to choose whether you want an individual or collective cremation.
individual cremation it is somewhat closer, within the situation. There is a wide variety of animal crematoriums that are responsible for collecting the pet at home or at the veterinary clinic. The cremation lasts about three hours and normally you can be present if you wish.

The usual thing is that later they give you an urn with the ashes and a certificate of said individual cremation. Its price ranges between 200 and 300 euros. In addition, some companies offer a funeral service, setting up a room for another family member.
collective cremation it is the ‘coldest’. The vast majority of municipalities have services for the removal of dead animals, that is, officials go to the home or clinic and take care of the dog’s body, which is later transferred to a collective incineration center. In this case, neither urn nor ashes will be returned to you.
animal cemetery
In Spain there are few animal cemeteries: El Último Parque, in Madrid; Seine, in Valencia; Last Llar, in Tarragona; and The Cemetery of Small Animals, near Barcelona. Four cemeteries where the veterinarian’s certificate must be delivered indicating that the canine has not died from a contagious disease, since in these cases, the corpse has to be cremated so that it cannot transmit the disease.
