Hi all I am Trying very hard to get out of my comfort zone and get into the "playground".My best mate(and family) is a kelpie cross and suffers from epilepse and takes tablets.This may have been mentioned before and it is something I don't like to think about but what do you do if your mate departs while on the road.I may sound silly but it worries me.You all take care Pugs

We recently met a couple who's elderly dog had to be put to sleep at a vets because of a terminal condition. They arranged with the vet to have her cremated and send her ashes back to their home address.

As Gerty mentioned, there are several firms out there that will perform a cremation.
We had to travel down that path a few years ago.
The staff were as considerate and caring as you would expect from those who deal with the 2 legged amongst us.

I feel your concern. We started out in July 2011 with an 11 yo healthy border collie. We vowed we would not leave him with anyone, that he was our travel companion for life.
In November 1012. he was diagnosed with cancer, we made the most companionate decision - to have him put to sleep. The caring vet in the Clare Valley (SA) had a property in the hills where we arranged to have our beloved Brodie buried. We could neither afford a cremation, nor had the "home" base to take Brodie or his ashesl We feel this has been the best choice, and often acknowledge a site as one where "Brodie would have loved this"

don't worry Pugs, most vets will help you out while you are on the road.
and your pet will be well looked after.
Please keep your eyes open if you are free camping because a lot of area's have baits put down, just look out for signs usually put up by councils.
