What to Do When Your Pet Passes Away

When the moment comes, here are the immediate steps to take.

Step	What to Do
1. Confirm passing	If your pet passes at home, contact your vet for confirmation. If at the vet clinic, they will confirm and guide you.
2. Keep the body cool	Wrap your pet in a towel and place in a cool area or air-conditioned room. In Malaysia's heat, this is especially important.
3. Contact a provider	Call your chosen cremation or burial provider. Some offer pick-up services. Funerals Malaysia is available 24 hours.
4. Choose your option	Decide between mass cremation, private cremation, or burial based on your preferences and budget.
5. Arrange transport	Some providers offer pick-up. If not, you'll need to transport your pet yourself or use a pet taxi service.
6. Take your time	It's okay to take time to grieve. Say goodbye in your own way. Consider taking a paw print or clipping of fur as a keepsake.
