There is no timeline, no "right" way to grieve. Some days will be heavy, and some will feel lighter. Some moments will bring unexpected waves of sadness, while others will fill you with gratitude for the love you were lucky enough to experience.

One way to keep your pet’s memory close by is to commission a drawing or a painting by a local artist, or maybe even a friend.

We don't have a specific artist to recommend because they are all so good, but there are many talented artists both locally and online who can bring a photo memory to life and so you can have a treasured memory in your home.

Today is World Pet Memorial Day. It's a day dedicated to honoring and remembering the pets we've lost, and also to show kindness and support to those who are currently grieving the loss of their beloved furry friends.

"You will lose someone you can't live without, and your heart will be badly broken, and the bad news is that you never completely get over the loss of your beloved. But this is also the good news. They live forever in your broken heart that doesn't seal back up.

And you come through. It's like having a broken leg that never heals perfectly - that still hurts when the weather gets cold, but you learn to dance with the limp."

—Anne Lamott

Grieving is a natural response to loss and helps us to process it. Often, we think of grief as something we experience after a beloved pet dies, but people expecting a loss may also experience grief beforehand. This is called anticipatory grief, and we want to reassure you that it's natural to feel many strong emotions leading up to such a significant loss. We are here to help you navigate this difficult journey.

MN Pets

MN Pets is an in-home euthanasia service that operates in and around the Twin Cities and Duluth-Twin Ports area. Our doctors travel to families’ homes to help give a gentle goodbye to their beloved furry family members.

Several years ago, our founder, Dr. Rebecca McComas, recognized the importance of home euthanasia for her family’s two elderly beagles. Having only experienced saying goodbye to a beloved pet in a clinical setting, she was struck by how different it felt to be at home. It seemed natural to bring this much-needed service to other pet owners, and so she started MN Pets in 2010, the first exclusively in-home euthanasia practice in Minnesota.

Since then, the team at MN Pets has grown to include other highly qualified veterinary professionals who share a common interest in supporting people and their pets through end of life care. Each of our doctors and support professionals have a similar understanding and appreciation for the bond you share with your pet, and the benefits of saying goodbye at home.

We believe that pets deserve a gentle hand and voice, and people need compassion and support as they go through this difficult experience.
