Pet End of Life Resources

Saying goodbye to a beloved pet is one of the hardest decisions a family can face. We created this resource page to help support you before, during, and after that decision with compassion and clarity.

Here you will find quality-of-life checklists, pain scales for dogs and cats, and guidance to help you recognize when your pet may be struggling. We also provide resources for talking with children about loss, printable coloring pages to help young family members express their feelings, and grief support materials for the days and weeks that follow.

Whether you are beginning to ask difficult questions or navigating the grieving process, please know you are not alone. Our team is here to walk alongside you every step of the way.
