Freeze Dried “Real” Pets
Aug 8th, 2007 by Gary
Pet Preservations is one of several firms that can freeze dry your “real” pet when it dies so it can remain on display in your home as sort of a “virtual” pet.
They mention burial of pets is not an option in some locations, or you may move on later. Pet preservation is presented as a comforting alternative to burial or cremation.
The process is also called Freeze Dried Taxidermy. Some people just take their pet to the local taxidermist, but they use standard forms to mount most wild animals and those do not seem to “fit” pets into realistic behaviors.
Pets must be frozen shortly after death and then shipped to the site. The process takes several months.
Again, not a true virtual pet, but another example of something in the middle.
Hi Perhaps someone can help
‘m looking for people that have had their pet’s freeze dried. This is for an upcoming story.
Only requirement is that you still have your freeze dried pet and willing to talk about the experience. This can be for ANY type of pet…bird, cat, dog, snake, goat…any type of pet.
Please contact Scott at the following e mail:

I can only hear from owners that still have their freeze dried pet.
Thank you
Its a bit creepy to even think of this procedure…i belive its not the body of the animal that lived as a member of the family but its soul! Still i belive its upto the people who lived with the pet!
