The Death of a Pet - Sympathy and Help

Ranked #65 in Pets & Animals, #1,647 overall

Help When a Pet Dies - Sympathy, Funeral Help, Memorial Gifts and More


Facing the death of a beloved pet is one of the hardest experiences in life. Have you lost a pet? Or maybe someone you love has lost a dog, cat, or any other animal?

It is hard to know what to do or what to say when a dear pet dies. Mourning pets takes time (sometimes a very long time) and the ongoing understanding and sympathy of family and good friends. All of us grieve in our own ways.

Would you like to find a fitting memorial headstone for your dog or cat? Are you looking for a gift of sympathy and comfort for someone whose pet has died? Maybe you are searching for a way to remember a sweet animal. Hopefully, what you need is here.

On this page you will find support links, sympathy gifts, loving memorial items, words of caring, and more.

Part of the proceeds from this pet memorial page goes directly to animal charities, to honor beloved pets we have lost, but will forever love.

Thank you, Squidoo, for making our donations possible.

You Can Close Your Eyes - the song

James Taylor Sings Live at the Beacon Theater, 1998

I can't think of many things more difficult than watching a beloved pet pass away. I hope listening to this song brings comfort to those in need of understanding.

I recently heard this lovely song sung by James Taylor. I thought it was a very special song, in the context of this page. It is both sweet and sad (tissue warning). Lyrics below.

You Can Close Your Eyes Lyrics

A Very Sweet Song

You Can Close Your Eyes - words

Well the sun is surely sinking down, but the moon is slowly rising.
So this old world must still be spinning round and I still love you.

So close your eyes, you can close your eyes, it's all right.
I don't know no love songs and I can't sing the blues anymore.
But I can sing this song and you can sing this song when I'm gone.

It won't be long before another day, we gonna have a good time.
And no one's gonna take that time away. You can stay as long as you like.

So close your eyes, you can close your eyes, it's all right.
I don't know no love songs and I can't sing the blues anymore.
But I can sing this song and you can sing this song when I'm gone.

"Inscription on the Monument of a Newfoundland Dog"

Near this spot are deposited the remains of one who possessed
Beauty without Vanity,
Strength without Insolence,
Courage without Ferocity,
and all the Virtues of Man,
without his Vices.

This Praise, which would be unmeaning Flattery if inscribed over human ashes, is but a just tribute to the Memory of Boatswain, a Dog.

~George Gordon, Lord Byron
