I understand they have to be buried extra deep because of it... But the vets Holly With utmost respect, this has to be the strangest question I've ever heard . Are you asking because you have wildlife in the area that may dig up a body? Euthanized dogs sadly are sometimes "recycled" from pounds to go on into fertilizers, and even animal foods. I don't think an animal has gotten sick from ingesting a dog put down with Euthanol. If a dog is to be buried without cremation , one would hope that it would be buried deeply enough to deter other animals from digging.......shudder. But I have to say it was an intriguing question.
