Unexpected pet loss: what to do now
1. Confirming death:
- Check for breathing – Look for chest movement or place a feather near their nose to see if it moves.
- Check for a heartbeat – Feel for a pulse on their inner thigh or chest.
2. Handling the remains:
- Wear gloves to avoid bodily fluids.
- Use a large towel, blanket, or a piece of your clothing to gently wrap your pet.
3. Temporary storage:
- Refrigerator (best option for small pets): If your pet is small enough, place the wrapped body in a sealed plastic bag and put it in the refrigerator. This will slow decomposition for a short period.
- Cool place (alternative): For larger pets or if a refrigerator isn’t available, place the wrapped body in a sealed plastic bag and put it in a cool, dry location like a garage or basement. Avoid direct sunlight.
