For many, pets are more than just animals, they are family. They provide companionship, unconditional love, and joy in ways words often cannot capture. However, saying goodbye to a beloved pet is one of life’s most heartbreaking experiences. Beyond the emotional pain, many pet owners are caught unprepared for the practical challenges of pet aftercare, especially when options that align with their love for their pets and the planet are limited.

Globally, around 100 million pets pass away each year, leaving millions of grieving families. In Indonesia, where there are over 40 million pets, about 2–3 million pets die annually. Across Southeast Asia, this figure exceeds 10 million. Yet, despite this staggering need, accessible, dignified, and eco-friendly aftercare options remain scarce.

The Story Behind Dokovo

For Zulfiqar, Dokovo’s founder, this gap became painfully clear after the loss of DoDo, a cherished family pet. Struggling to find a way to give DoDo a respectful and environmentally friendly farewell, Zulfiqar realized that many pet parents face the same dilemma.

“DoDo’s passing was a moment of grief,” Zulfiqar shares. “But it sparked a mission to ensure every pet receives a dignified farewell. Dokovo is built on love, sustainability, and the desire to help pet owners through their toughest moments.”

From this deeply personal loss, Dokovo was born a heartfelt initiative to provide families with sustainable, compassionate aftercare solutions that honor pets while supporting grieving owners.
