Re: Condlences for pets

The loss of a pet elicits a wide spectrum of feelings. For anyone who has a pet, losing one, at the very least, leaves a void. For some, the loss of a pet is as devastating as losing a human family member. Those who don’t have pets may not understand the grief over an animal–some may roll their eyes, some shake their heads. Yet, for the bereaved, the feelings are the same regardless of the source, and whatever your feelings are, a heartfelt note of condolence after the loss of a pet is sure to be appreciated.

I’m so sorry to hear that Roo died in an accident. I know how much he meant to you.
You spoke of Roo so often, I feel like I knew him myself. He was a lucky dog to be rescued by such a caring person as you.
I remember how sad I was when my dog Buttons died, and I know how hard this must be for you. I’ll call you on the weekend to see how you’re doing.
I am thinking of you as you grieve for Roo.

Tips & Warnings

A handwritten note may be a rarity in these days of electronic communication, but it is a much more personal touch.
Send the condolence within a week or two, the time a grieving pet lover will need your support most.
Don’t talk about getting another pet to replace the one lost—some people require just as much time to grieve a pet as to grieve any family member. Even if they don’t, they are probably not ready to consider a new pet just yet.
