Ways to remember your pet:

  • Spend a few minutes reflecting upon pleasant memories of your pet 
  • Contribute to an animal protection group 
  • Volunteer at an animal protection group 
  • Create a small memorial in a flower garden in your yard 
  • Plant a tree or a shrub as a living memorial 
  • Think about your late pet. Look at old photos. Talk about your pet with others who were familiar with it. Reflect on all the great memories you made with your pet. If you lost your pet unexpectedly, try to keep your thoughts positive.
  • Visit your pet's burial site. Make a tribute to your pet by decorating its burial site with something it may have enjoyed in life. Talk to your pet while at the burial site.
  • Create a small memorial in your pet's honor. Plant trees, shrubs and flowers to memorialize your pet. These things can remind you of your pet long after National Pet Memorial Day has passed.
  • Donate money or time to a charity or organization in honor of your late pet. Choose an organization or charity based on your animal's breed or a particular cause that is close to your heart. Animal shelters, rescue groups and humane societies all appreciate volunteers.
  • Send sympathy cards to former pet owners. National Pet Memorial Day does not have to be a solitary affair. Include everyone who has lost a pet in your observance of National Pet Memorial Day.

In loving memory of Patches (aka: duggie, girly girl, little pooper), you made all of our lives better. You gave us endless laughs and licks. We hope you are running, sniffing, eating and barking pain free. Until we see you again. Love, Mom, Dad, Kelly & Ryan
