We specialize in the respectful and dignified pick-up, handling, transport and composting of horses and other large animals after their death. Due to numerous requests, we have recently expanded our services to include smaller companion animals. We will arrange to pick up your pet from your veterinarian or directly from your home.
- Composting is a green alternative to burial, landfill or cremation.
- We utilize Technical Large Animal Emergency Rescue techniques to handle large animals, particularly the use of the Large Animal Rescue Glide.
- Above ground burial eliminates the risk of soil contamination and ground water contamination.
By request, we can place your companion animal in a private burial pile and return his or her remains to you (like getting the ashes back after a private cremation) in the form of a finished soil amendment. You can use this compost product for landscaping, flower beds or in your pet's favorite field.
"Thank you so much for your
compassion, knowledge, skill and kindness
when we were faced with difficult end of life decisions for our dear old
horse, Troubles. No option seemed comfortable until we were referred to
Compassionate Composting. It made perfect sense to us to choose this
sustainable, earth-friendly option and your sensitivity was very much
appreciated. As our herd ages I am comforted to know we have this
dignified and respectful way to care for their remains when the time
comes."
