Make an Investment in a Veterinary Incinerator for Pet Cremation
Buying a quality veterinary incinerator for pet cremation services may seem like a large upfront investment. However, it will offer a valuable service to your customers, expand your customer base, and bring in a new source of revenue. When a pet dies, the owner has limited options: burial or cremation. There are not very many pet cemeteries available, and they are often cost-prohibitive. The cost of a pet burial plot with a dug grave can cost on average around $400-600, plus most cemeteries require a casket burial which can add an additional $50 to $500 depending on the quality of the casket selected. Pet cremation is a more affordable option and gives the owner the chance to keep part of their pet with them forever. Let’s take a look at how your veterinary practice can increase your revenue by including pet cremation services to your practice.
Significant Return on Investment with Pet Cremation Services
Pet cremation services offer a significant return on your initial investment by allowing you to provide options for cremation on-site. Most private crematories charge based on the weight of the animal being cremated. Small animals might cost between $100-150, medium-sized dogs might cost between $200-250, and larger pets can cost from $300-400. With your own veterinary incinerator, you will be able to offer individual pet cremations (where the pet is placed inside an individual compartment within the machine and cremated individually. The remains would be provided to the customer in the urn of their choosing) or communal pet cremation (where the pet is cremated with others and the remains are not returned to the customer).
Additional Revenue from Related Services
In addition to the cost of pet cremation, you can also consider additional cremation-related services that will bring in even more revenue. You can sell pet urns, cremation jewelry, and other personalized keepsakes such as those sold at https://petmemoryshop.com/. These additional services allow pet owners to memorialize their pets and give them the tribute they deserve.
Savings on Medical Waste Disposal
With models that satisfy animal cremation requirements from solids to liquid with varying volumes, capacities, and advanced features, our veterinary crematories are designed for both animal carcass and medical waste disposal needs. This will eliminate the need for a third-party service to properly dispose of all medical waste from surgeries, labs, and medications.
Choosing the Right Veterinary Incinerator for Pet Cremation Services
The incinerator you choose will depend on your budget, the size of the site you plan to use for your pet crematorium, and the size of the pets you will be cremating. Large animals like horses require much larger incinerators, while typical household pets require small to medium veterinary incinerators. Your incinerator must have a high-capacity loading chamber and meet local and national guidelines or legislation for the cremation or burning of animal byproducts.
There are several different models of large and small veterinary and pet crematories available to accommodate various types of animal-related businesses, offering a range of choices when it comes to the proper disposal of animal remains.
