THE PASSING OF YOUR ANIMAL COMPANION:
PREPLANNING

Preplanning involves making the decisions about what your wishes will be once your pet dies.  Decisions about whether you wish a burial or cremation to take place, when and where to euthanize, how to celebrate the years of companionship you shared together.  All of these decisions are part of the process of your faithful companion's passing.

It is often recommended that ceremonial plans and other arrangements be made before your loved one leaves.  Preplanning helps to rid you of the weight these necessities bring to bear in your time of sorrow.  You can decide on the matters of burial, cremation, ceremony visual commemoration and so forth in a thoughtful, considered manner.

THE UNEXPECTED DEATH

Death of a companion animal can occur unexpectedly through accident or natural causes.  When this happens, the shock of, and often anger at, the loss of our pet causes high levels of anguish and raises questions.  What do I do?  Do I have to take my animal to the vet?  Can I arrange to have him or her privately cremated?

Having plans in place helps make this final journey less difficult.  

 

ANTICIPATED DEATH DUE TO ILLNESS OR AGE

When we know that our pet is suffering from a life threatening illness or is coming close to the end of their time with us because of a good age, preplanning helps us to deal with that reality.  It also gives us an opportunity to make choices that appropriately reflect how we feel about our beloved companion.  Whatever we choose, it is a part of the healing process as we anticipate our loss.
