Books On Pet Loss For Adults and Children

This is a compilation of fourteen books by Belinda McLeod for Cake Blog. Here she lists seven books for adults and seven books for children. There are many more books available and this is just one list I found where the books had been thoughtfully reviewed. As with any recommendation, it is best that you take a look and decide for yourself. In most cases, you can go to an online store and you will be able to read a few pages to see if a particular book might prove helpful. 

Aftercare Resources

Aftercare is a term we use for the respectful handling of your pet’s body after the transition is complete. It will involve cremation, either a private one or communal. Unfortunately, this is an additional and emotional decision that must be made prior to your pet’s transition. Click on the button below to see different resources involved with aftercare.

Additional Helpful Resources

Here you will find more information to give you some guidance in case you are having problems dealing with the loss of your beloved pet. This may involve speaking to a special pet grief counselor who may be able to provide private and/or group counseling to help you understand the grieving process, and provide you with coping skills to get you through this difficult time.  Content will be added over time, so check back often.

I do not provide service to areas that are difficult for me to navigate to, even if the distance is relative short. 

Special Need Harnesses

Here you will find some examples of harnesses that can help with support for both the front legs as well as the rear legs. These can be invaluable in helping you to be more able to provide support for your pet that may be having neurological issues that prevent them from being able to get up or move on their own.
