Pet Composting – A Green Alternative to Pet Cremation

Many people are familiar with pet cremation, but fewer know about pet composting — an eco-friendly farewell that transforms a pet’s remains into fertile soil.

What is Pet Composting?
Also called Natural Organic Reduction, pet composting uses controlled natural processes to gently break down remains, creating healthy soil without the need for flames or high heat.

The Steps in the Process

• The pet is placed in a vessel with natural materials like wood chips and straw.

• Microorganisms begin the decomposition process.

• Within weeks, the remains are transformed into clean, rich soil.

Benefits Compared to Pet Cremation

• Minimal environmental impact

• No greenhouse gas emissions from incineration

• Provides a tangible way to create a memorial garden or plant a tree in your pet’s honor

Creating a Living Memorial
The soil from pet composting can nurture plants, trees, and flowers — allowing your pet’s memory to live on in a beautiful, natural way.
