How Will Aquamation Shape the Future of Pet Aftercare Industry Standards?

Updated: Jan 16

The pet aftercare industry is undergoing a remarkable transformation as pet owners increasingly seek dignified, eco-friendly options for their beloved companions. Among the standout innovations shaping this evolution is aquamation, also referred to as alkaline hydrolysis, resomation, or simply water cremation in various communities, including scientific and professional circles.


Living Roots Philippines is at the forefront of this change, supplying cutting-edge aquamation machines to veterinarians and pet cremation businesses locally and in nearby regions.


This article explores why aquamation is not only redefining industry standards but also presenting an opportunity for businesses to gain a competitive edge while embracing sustainable practices.


What is Aquamation?

Aquamation, or alkaline hydrolysis, is a gentle process that uses water, alkali, heat, and pressure to accelerate the natural decomposition of a body. The result is a pure, sterile ash-like residue that families can keep or scatter in memory of their pet.

Aquamation is gaining traction as an alternative to traditional cremation due to its minimal environmental impact and ability to offer pet owners another meaningful choice in aftercare.

Traditional Cremation vs. Aquamation: Diverse Options for a Diverse Market


Pet owners have varied preferences when it comes to aftercare. While many value the time-honored tradition of fire-based cremation, others are drawn to aquamation for its eco-friendly appeal. Both methods play an essential role in meeting the needs of a growing pet aftercare market, and businesses that offer both options can cater to a broader clientele.

Living Roots Philippines supports this versatility by manufacturing high-quality traditional cremation machines in-house and providing cutting-edge aquamation systems through its partnership with an Australian manufacturer, ensuring every business has the tools to succeed.



Why Aquamation is Redefining Pet Aftercare


1. Expanding the Range of Aftercare Services

By offering aquamation alongside traditional cremation, veterinary clinics and pet cremation businesses can provide more personalized services to pet owners. Aquamation allows businesses to address the needs of clients who prioritize eco-consciousness, while traditional cremation remains a reliable choice for those who value its accessibility and established practices.

2. Sustainability in Focus

Aquamation’s eco-friendly process is appealing to businesses and clients alike. This method:

  • Uses less energy compared to other aftercare options.

  • Produces no harmful emissions or air pollutants.

  • Aligns with the global push for sustainable practices in all industries.

For businesses looking to enhance their environmental credentials, aquamation is an excellent addition to their service offerings.

3. Complementary to Traditional Cremation

Rather than replacing traditional cremation, aquamation enhances the range of options available to clients. Businesses that offer both services can attract a more diverse clientele, ensuring they stay competitive in a dynamic market.

4. Potential for Human Aftercare Services

While aquamation is currently transforming pet aftercare, it holds promise for human aftercare in the future. Businesses that invest in aquamation now will be well-positioned to adapt when this sustainable option becomes widely available for human clients.
