Losing a beloved pet is one of the most heart-wrenching experiences any dog owner can go through. Dogs are more than just pets; they are family members, confidants, and loyal companions. When your dog passes on, you will feel a lot of emotions, and that’s why you should call us at Heavenly Pastures Pet Cremations. Whatever the circumstance of your companion’s passing, Heavenly Pastures is here to help you organise the respectful removal of the body and deal with your dog cremation service.
The Special Bond Between Humans and Dogs
Dogs were probably the first animals to be domesticated by man, and they have since become our most loyal and trusted companions. Studies estimate that a quarter of the UK adult population have a dog – that is nearly 9 million animals living alongside us! This special bond between humans and dogs has been nurtured over thousands of years, making their loss deeply impactful.
The Emotional Impact of Losing a Dog
When you lose a beloved pet dog, it can break your heart. There is probably no greater human-animal bond than that between a dog and its owner. The grief can be overwhelming, manifesting in various ways such as sadness, anger, guilt, or even physical symptoms like fatigue or loss of appetite.
Common Emotions Experienced:
- Sadness: The immediate feeling after losing your pet.
- Guilt: Wondering if there was something more you could have done.
- Anger: Frustration at the situation or at yourself.
- Relief: Especially if your pet was suffering from an illness.

Dog Cremation Services
At Heavenly Pastures Pet Cremations we offer two types of canine cremation for beloved pet dogs:
- An individual cremation ensures that your dog is cremated alone within an enclosed, clean chamber. You have the guarantee that the ashes you receive will be entirely those of your dog.
- A communal dog cremation is another option that is available to you. This type of cremation means that your pet is cremated along with a small group of other pets. Because there is no separation of the pets when this process is done, you will not receive the ashes back if you choose a communal cremation.
Both types of dog cremation are carried out with the utmost care and respect, and there is no right choice or wrong choice – it is entirely up to you.
