Question about Vet clinic practices on holding deceased pets before removal or incineration?

This is not something that I have ever before thought of, but an off date visit to the vet for pills led me to wonder this. Our usual visits take place in the early summer, but the late spring visit I made shocked me. The smell of death, dead, decomposing animals, was overwhelming!!!!! Our recent visit was fine. Smelled disinfected and clean, like usual. What is the procedure for the pets bodies that are not removed by the owner once they are deceased?Question about Vet clinic practices on holding deceased pets before removal or incineration?The bodies are placed in a freezer and are either put on hold for a few days (for the owner to make a decision on what to do with the remains). or are picked up by a pet crematorium service for either communal or private cremation (depends on the owner's request).Question about Vet clinic practices on holding deceased pets before removal or incineration?depends on vet i would guess.Question about Vet clinic practices on holding deceased pets before removal or incineration?Generally speaking, if it's anything like a pet shop, they will be put in a freezer- it could be a 'human style' one like a morgue with drawers, but more likely- and more morbidly- it would be an actual chest or walk in freezer, depending on the size of the vets.



They wouldn't just leave bodies lying around in a warm, empty room.Question about Vet clinic practices on holding deceased pets before removal or incineration?
I would guess the bodies get picked up and taken to an incinerator and the vet waits until he has a few corpses before calling the driver. I live in the UK and we have a pet crematorium not too far away where these poor animals are cremated at the end of what I hope has been a good life with a loving family
