Pet euthanasia is a humane way to let your pet go when it’s their time, but the grieving process can be difficult. Doing something to honor and memorialize your pet after in-home euthanasia will help you through the grief and give you a way to keep their memory alive forever. Here are three unique ways to honor your pet’s memory.

How to Honor Your Pet After Pet Euthanasia

1. Create a Shadow Box

Gather photos and keepsake items to make a shadow box. Items like ID tags, collars, halters, favorite toys, pieces of their favorite blanket, and similar items will combine with your most cherished pictures to create a treasure of memories. Making the box gives you a chance to reflect on the time you spent with your pet, and it ensures these keepsakes will always be within sight.

2. Volunteer at a Shelter

Volunteering at a shelter whenever you have free time honors your pet’s memory in a fitting way. While it may painfully remind you of your pet for a while, being surrounded by loving animals will help lift your spirits until it becomes a joy of remembrance. You also get the benefit of knowing you’re making a difference.

If you can’t give your time, then consider making a donation, whether of monetary support or needed pet supplies. You’ll still be helping the animals, and your shelter may even have a system where your pet gets a plaque on the wall or in the park if a donation is made in their name, further memorializing them.

3. Immortalize Their Image

Consider having a cartoonist or artist friend of yours make a painting, piece of pottery, or another item with your pet’s face on it. Alternatively, you can pay to have your favorite picture of them blown up to a large size and framed for your home. Tattoos are also one way to immortalize your pet after in-home euthanasia and allow you to experiment with styles, but be sure to find an experienced and renowned artist to do it.
