Aside from the city of Bellingham animal services or Whatcom County Animal Control, free dead animal removal is sometimes offered by government agencies that go by names such as public works department, department of transportation, environmental services, division of street maintenance, sanitation department, etc. Don't call the Bellingham police department or Bellingham SPCA or humane society. Click here for Dead Pet Body Removal in Bellingham. Usually you can put dead animal carcasses in refuse containers - aka garbage cans, although sometimes that's frowned upon. I'd do it for smaller animals under 20 lbs for sure though. For larger animals maybe call the sanitation dept. or call the number listed above. The removal of large livestock animals such as a dead horse or dead cow is usually handled by private enterprises. But in all cases in Bellingham, if the body is on private property, the removal of dead animals is handled by the citizen or by a private company, such as ours listed below.

Bellingham Dead Animal is a family-run company of fully-trained, licensed and insured technicians that deal with dead or alive nuisance wildlife problems. It doesn’t matter whether the problem is indoors or outdoors – we can take care of it, and our technicians carry commercial liability insurance, so you know that your business or domestic premises are serviced by the right people for the job! We can – and have – successfully and quickly removed dead animals from chimneys, under decking, in basements, in attic insulation, under the roof lining, caught in the fence, burrowed in the yard, hiding inside the walls, and many more places besides. This includes smaller critters, such as rodents, alongside larger animals, including foxes and raccoons. We are also trained to deal with bats, birds, opossums, snakes, and many more – just get in touch and tell us your problem and we’ll come up with the right plan of attack to solve the problem for good. Unfortunately, life is rarely as simple as walking into a property, immediately knowing where the dead critter is, and then removing it. Wildlife problems are usually much more complex than that – but that’s why we prioritize getting to the very heart of the problem. This means finding not just the animal, but also the entry points, potential disease risks through remaining biological material, and other critters that might be still hiding on the property. If you need a quick, efficient, well-priced service from trusted and honest workers, give us a call on 360-229-7967 today.
