There will probably be nothing to see from the smaller ones; however with the dogs and cats it really depends on how deep their graves were. We buried our cats about 5 foot deep in a place in the back garden but we don't dig there anyway.  I'd suggest that if you do find any remains, dig another grave where they won't be disturbed and interr them all there along with a little prayer if you wish.
I work very hard so don't expect me to think as well.

How deep did you bury them? I suspect they'll be well rotted by now and just be bones left. Saves you putting any blood,fish and bonemeal on the ground.

true I must say we planted a plum tree near the cat and dogs and this year it was heaving with plums so it must be the blood fish and bones .

some of our pets are planted several feet down and now under the rhubarb patch, but we tend to get them cremated now (not that cheap- but it sort of became habit).
we do the impossible daily, miracles take a little longer.
