At Final Paws, we know it can be a very difficult time for you and your family when you must cope with the loss of your beloved pet. It hurts to lose a dear animal friend, and unfortunately, support can be hard to find. Even your friends and family may not understand, admonishing you to "Just get over it," telling you that "It was just a dog/cat/animal!"

To help, we have searched the web to provide you with a few links to places and people that will offer you support and understanding in your grieving time.
