What To Do When Your Pet Passes Away in Dubai

The loss of a pet is never easy, they are family after all. It is only natural that you would want to know what the appropriate next steps are when your pet passes away, to ensure they are laid to rest humanly and legally. 

We take a look into what your options to consider are when the time comes: 

What are my choices when my pet dies?

Burial of your pet in the UAE is strictly not permitted, especially on rented accommodation and public areas. So with burial not being an option, this leaves you with cremation or disposal by your vet. 

Where can I get my pet cremated in Dubai? 

The Central Veterinary Research Laboratory offers pet cremation options for a variety of pets. Owners can opt for ashes returned in special urns or without ashes, and the cost of the service will depend on the size of your pet.   

Can I ask my vet to organize this for me? 

Yes, your vet can provide you with options and are authorized to proceed on your behalf, however, depending on your vet they may request you to bring your pets remains to the clinic to proceed. Other vets may have a collection service available.
