For many people, the loss of a beloved pet can be a traumatic experience. We invite you to download the brochure "Ten Tips on Coping with The Loss of Your Pet," for answers to questions you may have about the grieving process. Simply contemplating the difficult decision to put an aged, injured or terminally ill pet to sleep can be upsetting as well. If your pet can no longer enjoy a quality life, due to pain and illness, putting your pet to sleep may be the most loving choice you can make. Experts recommend that you share your concerns with your vet, as well as your family (with the exception of very young children). In most cases, you and your family don't need to make a decision immediately, so take time to consider your veterinarian's advice about other medical options. Remember: putting your pet to sleep involves an injection by your vet, which is quick and completely painless. Consider spending quality time with your pet as a way to say goodbye, either at home or at the animal hospital. Saying goodbye to your pet is an important part of the grieving and healing process. You may also find it helpful to take part grief and bereavement support groups and activities. For example, a weekly national Candle Ceremony gives you the opportunity to remember your pet, along with others who are suffering the same kind of loss. On Monday evenings all across the globe, people light candles to honor their pets. It is a very healing ritual with no adherence to any religion or creed, just a simple lighting of candles to bring us all together. We have provided a Pet Memorial area on this site, where your child can light a candle for their pet and share a picture of their beloved friend if they wish. All of the tribute pets are honored as well as special needs pets and abused and neglected animals. How does the ceremony work?
