Pet Casket sizing is a difficult to
determine by the breed of the pet because of the varying heights and lengths
of dogs of the same breed and mixed breeds.
The best way to size a pet casket is to measure
the length of the pet from tip of nose to the base of the tail for the
length of the casket, and then measure from the back of the pet to the area
where the leg bends (knee joint) of the pet. This would be the bare minimum
pet casket size you would need. You should always add a few inches to your
measurements to be safe. If you order a casket with a deluxe interior you
should add a couple of inches to the length and width for the deluxe liner.
Reduce Shipping Cost
It’s a good idea to check with your Vet to see if they would hold your pet
for you until your casket arrives via UPS Ground. Having your Vet hold your
pet you can save the add cost of 2nd Day Air Shipping or UPS Next
Day Air shipping cost. Most Vets that you had a past history with would
likely help you out in this situation. If your Veterinary Office is going to
be holding your pet until your casket arrives make sure to let them know to
position your pets legs the way you measured for the pet casket size you
purchased. |
