猫和狗：流程相近，细节不同

Cats and dogs: similar process, different details

猫狗的善后流程基本一致，差别更多在体型和性格。狗的体重跨度极大，从几公斤的小型犬到几十公斤的大型犬，直接决定火化时长、骨灰量和容器尺寸；猫的体型相对集中，但很多猫对陌生环境和外出极度应激，在家离世、上门接运往往让它更平静。

The aftercare process for cats and dogs is largely the same, with differences in size and temperament. Dogs span a huge weight range that determines cremation time, ash amount and container size; cats are more uniform in size but often highly stressed by travel, so home death and collection can be calmer.

• 扁脸、短鼻品种（如加菲猫、法斗）呼吸和麻醉有特殊风险，安乐死和处理时要提前告诉兽医。Brachycephalic breeds carry breathing and anesthesia risks to mention in advance.
• 大型犬的接运需要人力和设备，提前确认对方能否搬动、有没有电梯楼层问题。Large dogs need enough people and equipment for collection, including stairs.

兔子、豚鼠、仓鼠等小型哺乳动物

Rabbits, guinea pigs and small mammals

这些小家伙体型很小，骨灰量很少，流程更短，也特别适合用可降解容器做生态葬或花园纪念。需要注意的是，它们有些是群居、被捕食动物，善于隐藏病痛，离世常很突然；而且兔子、啮齿类在部分地区的动物防疫和无害化处理规定上，与猫狗不完全一样，要按当地要求来。

These small animals leave little ash and suit biodegradable containers and garden memorials. They are prey animals that hide illness and often die suddenly, and local animal-health rules for rabbits and rodents may differ from those for cats and dogs, so follow local requirements.

鸟类

Birds

鸟的遗体轻、羽毛和中空骨骼让处理方式略有不同，骨灰量很少，常被装进很小的吊坠或迷你盒。猛禽、鹦鹉等有些可能属于受保护或需要登记的物种，处理前先确认自己的鸟是否涉及相关规定，不要随意丢弃。

Birds are light with feathers and hollow bones and leave little ash, often kept in tiny pendants or mini urns. Some raptors and parrots are protected or registered; confirm the rules for your species before disposal rather than discarding them.

爬行、两栖和鱼类

Reptiles, amphibians and fish

这类变温动物的解剖结构和处理方式与猫狗差别很大，不是所有机构都接收，需要专门询问。龟类寿命长、外壳坚硬，蛇和蜥蜴可能涉及外来物种或保护名录，部分大型或外来物种的处理还有检疫方面的限制。事先确认机构有处理经验、并核对物种是否合法，是最稳妥的做法。

These animals differ greatly in anatomy and not every provider accepts them, so ask specifically. Turtles have hard shells and snakes or lizards may be non-native or protected, with quarantine limits for some species. Confirm the provider has experience and that the species is legal.
