4 FAQ About Pet Loss & Pet Memorials

How Long Will It Take to Feel Better?

There is no set time frame for when your sadness will dissipate. The saying ”time heals all wounds,” is true, but that time will vary from person to person. One day you may feel fine, then pass by a dog or cat that reminds you of your pet. It’s okay to take as much time as you need to grieve.

Should I Have a Memorial Service?

Grieving the loss of a pet is often easier if you take time to pay tribute to their life. You may want to host a pet memorial where you can say a few sweet words and final goodbye. Memorials are especially helpful if you have young children who are just starting to understand the concept of death.

Do I Bury or Cremate My Pet?

Deciding between burial or pet cremation will depend on your preferences. You should discuss the process with your family, and a cremation service professional who can provide insight into the procedure. Whether you decide to bury or cremate, you can have a fitting memorial service for your pet.

How Long Should You Wait to Adopt Again?

It’s really up to you. Some people choose a new pet shortly after a loss, while others may wait months or years before they bring home a new pet. A new pet can often boost your spirits and help you recover from the loss of your pal.
