Losing a pet can be as devastating as losing a human loved one. Pets often become a part of our family, they are constant and faithful companions. Pet loss cards can offer comfort in the healing process. Pets can be a wonderful addition to a family with children, a guide for the blind or disabled persons, or a companion to the single individual. Owning a dog or cat can be a joyful event since they are a big part of the pet owner's life.

When you suffer a pet loss through death of old age or a sudden death, it may not always be an easy thing to undergo. Similar to losing a human loved one, you can go through a period of grieving. The grieving process may be shorter, depending on amount of time you have had the pet. It's important to try and face pet loss as openly and honestly as you can. Finding people you can discuss your feelings with can be a comfort as well. Experiencing pet grief together with someone who can also relate can begin the healing process for you both.
