To comfort a dying dog you should try being with the dog as much as possible and speak softly to them.

Keep the dog warm, provide them with water, provide a comfortable bed and a cozy resting spot.

Make sure he or she has palatable food, such as canned food or some plain cooked chicken mixed in with their food or kibble.

You can kill your own dog if it's suffering or if it's being dangerous to you or your family.

You can easily and humanely kill your dog by using a gun to shoot it.

However you can also take the dog to a vet and have the dog euthanized which is also humane.

If your dog dies at home you can either simply bury the dog in your backyard, bury the dog in a pet cemetery if there is one in your area or even have the dead dog cremated by a pet cremation service if you have one in your area for a fee.

If you want to bury your dog in something you can bury your dog in a blanket, box, homemade dog coffin, plastic trash bag etc.

Or you can simply bury the dog directly into the ground without need of a bag, coffin etc.

To bury a large dog dig a hole wide and long enough for the size of the dog.

Then dig the hole for the dog at least 4 to 5 feet deep to make sure the dog is deep enough to prevent other dogs from smelling the dead dog and digging them up.

Then place a rock or rocks over the dog or a blanket or tarp and then cover the dog up with dirt.

You can bury the dog in a plastic bag, box etc but you can also bury the dog directly into the ground without the plastic bag, box etc.

It's not illegal to bury your pet.

When your pet dies you don't have to do anything special like you have to do when a human dies.

When your pet dies you can simply dig a hole in your garden, yard, backyard etc and bury the pet.

You don't have to put the pet in a bag, box etc if you don't want too although it's a good idea to do so.

You could also place the dead pet into a trash can if you have too.

Another option is pet cremation but that costs some money.

Whenever my dogs, cats etc have died I always just dug a hole in my backyard and buried the dog and cats in the backyard.

I buried the pets at least 4 feet deep and placed a rock over their body and on top of the grave to prevent other animals from digging them up.

Just make sure there's no utilities in the ground where you plan to dig and you'll be fine burying the pet in your yard.
