Dog World Magazine Article - Water Cremations For Dogs

For many of us, dogs are more than pets — they are family members, companions, protectors, and loyal friends through every stage of life. Saying goodbye is never easy, and pet owners are increasingly looking for aftercare options that are respectful, compassionate, and environmentally conscious. One option growing in popularity across Australia and internationally is water cremation, also known as aquamation or alkaline hydrolysis.

Unlike traditional flame cremation, water cremation uses a gentle waterbased process to return a pet’s body naturally and respectfully. Many owners find comfort in knowing their beloved companion is cared for in a peaceful and dignified way.

Dog World Magazine Breed Feature - Chinese Crested Dog

The average Chinese Crested Dog is a clown, a besotted companion sometimes known to give the alarm about an impending health issue in his human, an agile climber, somewhat prey driven, anxious to please, suitable for Rally O, Agility, Obedience, Lure Coursing sports, and lying on the lounge with you, growling at any animal on TV. He is clean, has little odour, loathes getting his feet wet and sometimes even objects to having his feet handled.

The Chinese Crested Dog needs protection from too much sun, (but not chemically provided) and clothing to keep warm in the cold. He needs to be clean to prevent skin problems and coconut oil and sugar scrub is effective with this.
