All dogs go to heaven when they die, of course, but they leave behind bodies. Rooted Pet, a startup in Seattle, Washington, intends to help with that. Composting carcasses is not unusual. Farms often use it to get rid of dead livestock and some states use it to manage roadkill.
So, Paul Tschetter, a Seattle entrepreneur, helped create a process that he says is, “adding meaning back into this whole death process.”

People who decide composting their dead pet is right for them can choose from several end products. Let Rooted keep the compost and it will it on its farm or on a tree-planting project. Get your composted pet back (alone or, for a lower price, mixed with other pets), and you can use it to nourish a new tree in your yard.
