Imagine never having to say goodbye!!
One of the most devastating experiences for any pet owner is the loss of that pet. The grief experience is real, deep and the pain of the loss can be just as traumatic as losing a “human” family member. Many people must find ways to deal with their grief. Some are able to bury the pet on their property and are always close by to grieve, remember and visit the lost animal. Others may have their dog creamated and keep the ashes in a place close to them. Still others may be able to bury their dog in a pet cemetery. However, for many people none of these are an option and people must look at other alternatives to preserve their beloved dogs.

An alternative brought to many by a certain company is both what they do and what the company is called - Pet Preservation. This is also referred to as freeze dried taxidermy. The site is quite interesting and can be found by clicking here. While this might seem distasteful to some people, it is very comforting to others. After reading many of the stories that people wrote about the quality of the work done and the peace and comfort that was brought by having their beloved dog(s) with them again, I feel that this is an alternative people should explore.
This company has a great site that will answer many of the questions everyone is thinking right now. Like first of all, what is freeze drying? Well, basically, it is removing all of the moisture from the animal through a vacuum technique. Once all of the moisture is removed, the pet will “live” forever. One fact pointed out by this site that I hadn’t thought of is that many owners want to be buried with their pets and many stipulate this in their wills. This alternative allows for that to happen. According to Pet Preservation, the process takes about 4-6 months and works better than traditional taxidermy for pets as the results are more lifelike. I am not familiar with the traditional techniques of taxidermy, nor do I care to be, but I have learned a bit about this other option. And while this may or may not be the option for everyone to use, it could be one that should be considered when trying to keep your beloved dog forever in your heart, your mind and your home.
