Preparing for the Loss of a Pet

Preparing for an impending loss is one of the most difficult, challenging and emotional situations a pet owner may face over the lifetime of a beloved companion. People may feel guilt, fear, anger, anxiety, sadness and embarrassment, among other feelings when they're facing death and preparing to say goodbye.

Coping with the Loss of a Pet

Our pets are our friends, family members and companions. The bond between a person and their pet is a special one. The loss of a family pet may result in a variety of emotions: denial, guilt, anger, sadness, shock, pain and other feelings. Learning how to deal with emotions is important in order to move forward following the death of a pet. It is important to remember that people respond differently to the loss of a pet. You may not experience any of these emotions.
