What are some pet cremation horror stories?

One horror story is about a crematorium where the furnace malfunctioned during a cremation. The family heard strange noises coming from inside. It turned out that the body wasn't being burned properly and parts were getting stuck in the machinery. Another is where a wrong body was almost cremated due to a paperwork mix - up. It was a terrifying moment for the family who almost lost their loved one's body wrongly.

Well, a lady sent her small dog for cremation. She got back ashes that looked way too much for a small dog. After some investigation, it was discovered that the crematorium had cremated multiple small pets together and just divided the ashes randomly among the owners. It was a terrible shock for her as she thought she was getting her dog's individual remains.

To avoid a cremation horror story, it's crucial to communicate clearly with the crematorium staff. Let them know your expectations and any special requests. Also, consider using a well - known and established crematorium. These are more likely to have proper procedures in place. Another important aspect is to understand the cremation process yourself. By being informed, you can better detect any potential problems. For instance, if you know about the normal amount of time for a cremation, you can question it if it seems too short or too long.

There was a case where a cat owner left their cat alone at home while on vacation. When they returned, they found the house in chaos. The cat had somehow knocked over a bunch of things and there were scratches everywhere. It seems the cat had a really bad time being alone and the whole situation was quite a horror for the owner. Another instance is when a hamster escaped from its cage. The owner searched every corner of the house for days. They were constantly worried that it might die somewhere hidden or get hurt. Thankfully, they finally found it under the couch, looking a bit weak but alive.

At a cremation, the family had put a note in the pocket of the deceased's jacket saying 'Wish you a speedy journey to the stars'. But during the cremation process, the note flew out and landed near the feet of one of the workers. The worker read it out loud, and everyone had a laugh at the rather comical situation. It was a light - hearted moment in a somber event.

One horror story is about a person who bought a 'healthy' puppy from Craigslist. But when they took it to the vet, it turned out the puppy had a serious genetic disorder that the seller hid. The poor puppy suffered a lot and the new owner had to pay a large amount for treatment.

One horror story is about a pet monkey that became extremely aggressive as it grew older. It started attacking family members unprovoked. It would jump on people, scratch and bite them. Eventually, the family had to call in professionals to remove the monkey from their home.

I heard about a situation where a person adopted a dog from an unethical source. The dog was so malnourished that it took weeks of special care just to get it to a normal weight. In addition, the adoption papers were fake, and the so - called adoption agency disappeared when the adopter tried to contact them for help regarding the dog's health issues. There are also horror stories about people adopting pets that had been used in illegal and cruel animal testing. These pets often have long - term physical and psychological problems that the adopters were not prepared for.

There was a case where a pet sitter was supposed to feed a dog regularly. But instead, they got distracted by their own affairs. The poor dog ended up starving and was in a really bad state when the owner returned. It took a while for the dog to recover fully. This shows how irresponsible some pet sitters can be.

There was a case where a pet sitter was supposed to feed a dog special dietary food. But instead, they gave the dog regular food that it was allergic to. The poor dog got really sick, had to be rushed to the vet, and the owner had a huge vet bill. It was a nightmare for the owner as they had specifically instructed the sitter about the dog's diet.
