Decisions Regarding After-Care
What should I do after my pet dies?
To help you prepare for this difficult decision, Pet Angel Memorial Center® has provided a specially developed pamphlet, "Questions to ask yourself: What should I do after my pet dies?" Part of our larger brochure, A Guide to Planning Ahead, this document can help you make the important choice regarding the after-care of your faithful companion, and help educate you on the questions you should ask your veterinarian or provider.
In addition to "Questions to ask yourself: What should I do after my pet dies?", the unique Pet Angel Memorial Center® brochure, A Guide to Planning Ahead, contains additional topics relevant to the care of an elderly or sick pet, including:
- Questions to ask yourself: What is the right time for euthanasia?
- Questions to ask your vet: What clinical information should I consider?
- Questions to ask yourself: Do I want to be present for the euthanasia process?
- Understanding the euthanasia procedure
- Understanding anticipatory grief
- Understanding your cremation options
- Understanding the resource your vet has chosen
If you would like any of these materials to help guide you through this difficult process, please ask your veterinarian for a copy. If your veterinarian is not a Pet Angel Memorial Center® partner, you can ask them to contact your local Memorial Center. Or you may visit our centers in person to pick up a copy.
