What is the best way to compost my dead dog? My dog died. I was thinking about rather than burying it, I would compost it. Would it be best to cut the dog into small pieces first, or can I just wrap the entire dog (its a golden retriever) in a tarp and put it by the garden to rot? What would be the best thing to do? Thanks in advance for all the SERIOUS answers. No losers!

Wrap your dog in paper and bury him.

Cutting up a dog, even a dead one, is animal cruelty!!

I hope like hell you%26#039;re kidding because that%26#039;s sick.

I don%26#039;t see what all the fuss is about. Everybody thinks you%26#039;re some sicko for wanting to compost your dog. Burial practices are something that I%26#039;ve always been really fired up about. Why is littering considered a crime, but putting a chemical laden box, doused in paint, wood stain, polyurethane, and brass fixings in the ground not considered a crime. We are such a wasteful society- even in death we pollute the earth! Though i personally would never be able to cut up my dog, i think your question is noble (albeit a little gruesome). Wrap your dog in newspaper or a blanket and bury him deep, and nature will take its course.
