Dignified Cremation of your Pet

Cremation of your Pet

In compliance with Dubai Municipality regulations, animal burial is not allowed in the UAE, but we facilitate pet cremation services through a third-party service provider. We absolutely guarantee that after your pet passes on, he or she is looked after correctly and with the dignity and respect that they deserve. He or she will be cremated with their favourite belongings should you wish to do so. If your pet passes away at home, you can still come to us and we will help you with the pet cremation process. There are three pet cremation options available to you:
  • A communal cremation means pets are cremated together with no return of ashes.
  • An individual cremation means the pet is individually cremated with the return of individual ashes (multiple pets placed in individually marked and separated compartments). May take up to 2 weeks.
  • Personal (private) cremation means the pet is cremated alone with the option of viewing (saying goodbye at the crematorium) and the return of individual ashes (one pet, one compartment). May take up to 3-5 working days.
Please be aware that having your pet privately cremated is more expensive than the standard cremation, so please ensure that you are fully aware of the costs before making your decision. We will also make a keep-safe memento of your pet’s paw and nose print for you to keep. You may take a lock of hair in a small container if you wish to do so. (an urn / box is provided and style may vary).

What is a microchip

A microchip is a small electronic chip (rice grain size) inserted/ implanted under your pet’s skin using a special syringe. It is a universal method used to permanently identify your pet. It is normally inserted in the lose skin in between the shoulder blades. Most pets tolerate it and don’t even flinch when it’s happening.

It is important to note that a microchip is not an active tracking device. The chip only contains a unique number which can then be cross referenced with the owners’ details when the chip is inserted and the animal is registered. 

The chip is “read” by using a small portable hand-held scanner which is waived over the animal. This picks up the unique number and it means that the owners’ details can then be obtained and contacted.

What are the Predisposed Breeds

    • Noisy breathing, especially on inhalation (snorting).
    • Snoring while sleeping.
    • Increased breathing effort.
    • Exercise intolerance (tiring easily).
    • Retching or gagging, especially when swallowing.
    • Nasal discharge (stenotic nares).
    • Blue tongue and gums (from lack of oxygen).
    • Fainting or collapse (loss of consciousness) – can be fatal.
    • Generally worse after exercise, excitement, excessive heat/humidity.
    • Signs worsen with obesity.

How we can help

We can diagnose stenotic nares on a routine physical exam, and suspect elongated soft palate and everted saccules based on clinical signs and history, but we can only diagnose and assess severity of the latter conditions on a sedated dog, as dogs rarely allow us to look at the back of their throats for an extended period of time, and often their tongue is in the way.

 

A sedated upper airway examination will allow us to accurately diagnose and come up with an appropriate treatment plan (which will likely include surgery) to allow your dog to breathe easier.

What you can do

How to help minimise breathing issues at home?

 

  • Limit expose to heat and humidity – inside in air conditioning on hot days.
  • Make sure exercise is not too strenuous – indoors or at cooler times of day.
  • Use a harness instead of a neck collar.
  • Teach your dog to have self-control, keep them calm, train them to settle down.
