I think we'll just have to stick to big blankets/towels.

Im not quite sure i really like the look of those coffins that much anyway, i think the clients would prefer a simple blanket!

At least i can tell the bosses i tried!

Blankets it is!

Thankyou!

so may have to look into the pet coffins i think,but unsure if all clients would like a coffin as such

which is a very valid point - I remember at one place I worked the boss thought it good idea and ordered 10 of each size (3 sizes) of these flatpack cardboard coffins. 20yrs later I am still in contact with the practice and I would say the majority of what they ordered is still sitting down in the cellar creeping ever closer to the incinerator and if the HN gets her way that is where they will end up. They werent cheap either. they just werent a hit with the clients and have to say that most of our dogs went home in blankets

HI Liv we always used to keep some really big blankets for the larger dogs. We never had any complaints about using blankets, just make sure you wrap them well so they dont fall out when you carry them!!

Yea they are sort of the thing, we use the white ones when we do home visits to bring the animal back. Something similar to let the owners take home and bury animal in- the white plastic ones arent biodegradable.

Am struggling to find specifically what im thinking of, so may have to look into the pet coffins i think,but unsure if all clients would like a coffin as such then i will start designing my own biodgradable simple body bag and take it to dragons den :-)

Thankyou for your help :-)

we got ours from Jaks. a large one and small one, they are great for home pts's as the owner doesnt have to see us put it into a black sack
