What to Say When a Beloved Pet Dies

Mon, 06 Jul 2026 09:00:00 GMT

Grief experts agree, the following is a list of what NOT to say to a friend or family member facing the loss of a beloved pet:

“I know how you feel.” You could, instead, ask your friend to tell you how he or she feels.
“It’s part of God’s plan.” This phrase can evoke anger.
“Look at what you have to be thankful for.” They know – but right now they are grieving.
“He’s in a better place now.” The bereaved may or may not believe this – offer your opinions only when asked.
“This is behind you now – it’s time to get on with your life.” Remember, grief has no timetable.
Statements that begin with “You should” or “You will.” Instead, you could begin your comments with: “Have you thought about…” or “You might consider…”

What You SHOULD Say Instead:

Acknowledge the situation. Example: “I am so sorry to hear that your (pet/cat/dog,etc.) died.” Don’t be afraid to use the word “died.”
Express your concern. Example: “I’m sorry to hear that this happened to you.”
Be genuine in your communication, and don’t hide your feelings. Example: “I’m not sure what to say, but I want you to know I care.”
Offer your support. Example: “Tell me what I can do for you.”
Ask how he or she feels. Don’t assume you already know. People want to be asked.
Share a memory of the deceased pet. It means the world to people to know their beloved pet is not forgotten.

While we can’t take away the pain of a loss, we can provide a measure of comfort and support. It’s important to allow others the time they need to process their emotions and remember that grief follows its own trajectory.

Pet Hydration Awareness Month

Tue, 01 Jul 2025 09:00:00 GMT

Pet Hydration Awareness Month is observed in July. It’s a time to raise awareness about the importance of keeping pets properly hydrated, especially during the hot summer months.

Ancare Veterinary Hospital provides an excellent on-line article for pet owners with important reminders of why proper hydration is essential for the health and well-being of our furry companions. Tips include:

Ensuring that pets have access to fresh, clean water at all times.
Switching to wet food, which has a higher moisture content than dry food.
Being aware of the signs of dehydration, such as lethargy, decreased urination, and loss of appetite.
Moving the water bowl if pets refuse to drink, and keeping the bowl in a clean area away from food dishes and litter boxes.
Limiting exercise and outside time on hot days.

Ancare Veterinary Hospital reminds us that keeping our dogs and cats well-hydrated is a crucial step in maintaining their health and avoiding dehydration and heatstroke . They also encourage pet owners to consult a veterinarian with any concerns about a pet’s hydration or health.

Here’s to keeping our furry friends hydrated all summer!

Pet Emergency Preparedness

Tue, 04 Feb 2025 09:00:00 GMT

If a natural disaster that required emergency evacuation were to strike, would you be ready to help your pets? Best Friends Animal Society provides a wonderful online article that outlines how to prepare for three types of disasters:

– Immediate: a gas leak or house fire – when immediate evacuation is necessary

– Short warning: a toxic spill or fire in the neighborhood – when you have to grab your pets and a few supplies and leave within a short period of time

– Seasonal disaster: hurricanes, floods, or wildfires – when you’ll need a plan for gathering your pets, packing up supplies, and evacuating

The following checklist can help you compile your pet emergency kit and construct a plan to keep everyone safe.

Pet emergency kit checklist

Here’s a checklist of some things you can do right now to be prepared for a disaster . Please don’t wait to accomplish these tasks, as they may be too difficult once the emergency has begun.

Put your pets’ ID on their collars: your name, address, and phone number. Because cellphones and landlines might be down for a while, consider adding the phone number of a relative or friend who lives outside of your area.
Periodically check your pets’ collars to make sure they fit properly and tags are securely fastened. If the collar can slip over a pet’s head when you pull on it, you may lose them if they panic and pull back from you.
In addition to having pets’ ID’s on their collars, get your pets microchipped. Be sure to register the chip in your name and provide additional phone numbers.
Buy carriers appropriate for your pets’ sizes, which means carriers that give them enough room to stand and turn around. The carriers should be easy to transport. Label each carrier with the pet’s name and your phone number.
Always have on hand at least a two-week supply of your pets’ medications.
Take an animal first-aid class if one is offered in your community, and put together a pet first-aid kit.
Determine where you will go (i.e., homes of relatives or friends, pet-friendly hotels). Identify several evacuation routes to get there because one route might not be accessible in the event of a disaster.
Keep all paperwork in one easily accessible place in your house or garage so it can be collected at a moment’s notice. This could include:
- current photos of your pets
- copies of your pets’ microchip information and contact number for the microchip company
- medication names, dosages, and instructions
- updated pets’ vaccination records and veterinarian
- updated list of phone numbers for animal shelters, animal hospitals, kennels, and pet-friendly hotels

You’ll also want to pack a storage container with necessary items for a pet emergency kit. Even though these are items that you are probably already using, it is helpful to have a set that is specifically set aside to grab and go. Here are some items to consider:

A roll of paper towels
A can of pet-friendly cleaner
Trash bags
A small bag of litter
Litter pan
Pet first-aid kit
Leashes
A pair of heavy-duty gloves
A blanket
Two towels
Two bowls
Can opener and spoon

Some last-minute items to grab include:

Food — canned and/or dry
Gallon jug of water
Your pets’ favorite treats or snacks

Thanksgiving Pet Safety Tips

Tue, 19 Nov 2024 09:00:00 GMT

Thanksgiving is a holiday that centers around family and food. And while it’s tempting to invite our furry family members to participate in our feast, many traditional Thanksgiving foods can put our pets at risk. Here are some tips for keeping your pet safe on Thanksgiving, provided by Dr. Melody R. Conklin, VMD, MBA.

Keep your pet away from these dangerous festive foods:

– Turkey – Avoid giving your pet turkey meat, especially fatty dark meat and skin (a small amount of unseasoned white meat is okay), and never give them any leftover bones . Not only are bones a choking hazard, but they can splinter inside your pet’s digestive tract and cause a trip to the emergency vet.

– Garlic, onion, leeks, and chives. These seasonings are common in many Thanksgiving dishes and are toxic to dogs and cats – they can cause destruction of their red blood cells. Avoid giving your pet a bite of anything cooked with these ingredients, like green beans, potatoes, stuffing, or gravy.

– Unbaked dough containing yeast. Unbaked yeast dough can cause a stomach blockage if eaten because the yeast in the dough makes it rise and expand. Plus, the natural fermentation of the yeast in your cat or dog’s stomach can cause alcohol poisoning. If you plan on baking some delicious dinner rolls for Thanksgiving, make sure to proof your dough somewhere that your pet can’t get to it, such as in a turned-off oven or microwave, not right on the counter where it’s often in your pet’s easy reach.

– Desserts. Desserts like pies, fruitcakes, or cookies should be kept out of your pet’s reach as well. Many people know that chocolate is toxic for dogs and cats, but so are raisins, currants, and the popular sugar-substitute xylitol. Xylitol, even in small amounts, is toxic to dogs, so keep that slice of keto-friendly/diabetic-friendly/sugar-free pie to yourself.

From all of us at the Pet Cremation Center of Southern Utah – have a safe and wonderful Thanksgiving season! Contact us for all of your pet cremation needs at (435) 523-4800.

Older Adults and the Benefits of Long-Term Pet Ownership

Tue, 20 Aug 2024 09:00:00 GMT

Good news for older adults who own a pet! A new study indicates that owning a pet for over five years may help cognitive skills stay sharp as we age.

Researchers found that adults ages 50 or older who had owned a pet of any kind for more than five years showed slower decline in verbal memory over time compared to non-pet owners.

The study was conducted by researchers at the University of Florida, University of Michigan, and Virginia Commonwealth University.

Jennifer Applebaum, lead author of the study, states, “We can’t show that this is causal but it does show that pets could buffer or have a protective effect on older adults’ cognition and we think it has to do with some of the mechanisms related to stress buffering.”

This is the first study to examine the impact of pet ownership over time on cognitive function among a national sample of U.S. adults ages 50 or older. The 1,300 people studied are participants in the Health and Retirement Study, a longitudinal survey that is tracking 20,000 adults to learn about aging-related issues.

The average age of those included was 65, 53% of which owned pets, with nearly one-third owning pets for more than five years. While all types of pets were included in the study, dogs were the most prevalent, followed by cats.

Over six years, cognitive scores declined slower in pet owners and were the strongest in long-term pet owners.

A positive relationship with a pet is thought to buffer stress via emotional support, which also may promote healthy cognitive aging. Taking care of a pet – walking a dog, feeding a cat – also boosts physical activity, which is linked to cognitive health.

According to the authors of the study, “These findings provide early evidence to suggest that long-term pet ownership could be protective against cognitive decline, providing a novel and fundamental step to examine how sustained relationships with companion animals contribute to brain health.”

Older adults – it may be beneficial to adopt a pet today!

Helping a Child Adjust to the Loss of a Pet

Tue, 16 Apr 2024 09:00:00 GMT

According to Dr. Wallace Sife, pets can be silly, childlike, playful, and joyous. It therefore stands to reason that pets make perfect companions for children, who learn about love, trust, and loyalty from their relationship. Pets also provide a sense of security and loving companionship when the child’s parents are not present.

Pets play a special role in the lives of children, and the death of a beloved pet brings great emotional hardship. To help the child adjust, Dr. Sife recommends the following:

– Hold a ceremony for the pet that includes the child. Such an experience strengthens the child’s sense of family unity as well as self-reliance during the mourning process.

– Reminisce fondly with the child about the pet. Use pictures or drawings, and associate positive and happy events with the pet’s memory.

– Ask the local librarian to suggest children’s books that include the death of a pet in the storyline. This will help the child recognize that the death of a pet is a natural part of life.

– Discuss with the child the possibility of eventually getting another pet. Emphasize that the new pet will not replace the beloved pet that died, but will be a new animal friend in need of a good home. Explain that we can love more than one pet at a time, just as we can love more than one person at a time.

– Ask how the child feels about the pet’s death and why. Let them express their views openly, and never argue with them about their feelings. Be supportive, but not critical.

– Inform the child’s teacher about the death of the pet and its effect on the child. Ask for advice, if needed.

Dr. Sife also recommends ensuring that the child has a well-adjusted adult role model to rely on during the grieving process. Children look to adults for guidance and security, and adults should take special care to be open, supportive, and sensitive to children’s feelings as they adjust to the loss of their beloved pet.

Do Pets Grieve?

Tue, 20 Feb 2024 09:00:00 GMT

Do pets grieve the loss of another household pet? According to an article by Veterinarian Dr. Ann Hohenhaus for the Schwarzman Animal Medical Center, the answer is yes!

To quote Dr. Hohenhaus, “A survey of several hundred pet owners in New Zealand and Australia reported on the behavior of the surviving dog after the loss of an animal companion . Dog families reported behavior changes in 74% of dogs. The most common behavior changes were demanding more owner attention and spending time in the favorite spot of the deceased companion. Dogs ate more slowly and smaller amounts of food than when their companion was alive, but only if the companion was another dog. About one third of owners reported their dog slept more after the death of their companion.

Grief in cats seems to be similar to that in dogs. Like dogs, cats demanded more attention from their owners after their companion’s passing. Cats also spent more time in the favorite spot of the deceased pet. There was one finding specific to cats, however. Grieving cats increased the frequency and volume of their vocalization. This finding was true if the deceased companion was either another cat or a dog. All this suggests dog and cat grieve the loss of an animal companion.”

Dr. Hohenhaus concludes by stating that stories of pet grief abound, including dogs refusing to eat for a week after the death of another household pet and intense personality changes in surviving animals. The good news is, however, that most studies indicate that grieving pets return to normal behavior within six months.

Whatever the circumstance, pet experts agree that it’s important to be willing to give your pets a little extra TLC during the grieving process. Watch for their cues. At times, pets may require a little extra attention, while others may need a little space. With time and love, grief will usually subside and their behavior will return to normal, but don’t hesitate to reach out to your veterinarian if you have questions or concerns.

Howl-O-Ween Pet Costume Contest

Wed, 18 Oct 2023 09:00:00 GMT

We are pleased to announce our second annual Howl-O-Ween Pet Costume Contest at The Pet Cremation Center of Southern Utah! Please join us on Thursday and Friday, October 26th and 27th, from 3:00 to 6:00 p.m. Bring your pet in costume to our offices located at 1316 S. 400 E., #A3, in St. George. We’ll take your pet’s photo and enter them to win our grand prize, valued at $200! Photos will be shared on Facebook and Instagram, and votes will be cast online. Prizes will also be awarded for second and third place. All participants will receive a special trick-or-treat.

And speaking of Halloween, here are five tips provided by petmd.com to help keep your pet safe on that spooky night:

– Keep treats out of reach. If ingested, sugar-free candies and chocolate can be especially dangerous to your pet’s health.

-Be mindful of your pet’s costume. Costumes should fit properly without restricting movement or causing trouble breathing. Be sure the costume doesn’t rub anywhere that may cause sores or bare spots.

-Ensure that decorations are safely placed. Pay special attention to open flames, including lighted jack-o-lanterns.

-Keep anxious pets calm during activity. Provide your pet with a safe place to hunker down during trick-or-treating hours. Turning on music or the TV can help mask the sounds of the doorbell ringing.

-Ensure that your pet’s ID’s and collars are updated. As there is a higher-than-average risk of your pet escaping when doors are opening or closing, make sure that they are wearing their collars with updated contact information so they can be returned home quickly.

To quote petmed.com , “Halloween is a fun and whimsical start to the holiday season, but it can be confusing, frightening, and dangerous to your pet. Fortunately, it is possible to take just a few simple steps to make the holiday fun and safe for all.”

Pet Safety in Summer Heat

Wed, 21 Jun 2023 09:00:00 GMT

Summertime has arrived once again in Southern Utah – a time when temperatures soar and our pets desperately need our extra care and attention. The American Red Cross offers the following tips to help ensure that your pets stay healthy and safe this summer:

-Never leave your pet in a hot vehicle, even for a few minutes. The inside temperature of the car can quickly reach 120 degrees, even with the windows cracked open.

-Limit exercise on hot days. Exercise in the early morning or evening hours only.

-Walk your pet in the grass if possible, to avoid hot surfaces burning their paws.

-If your pet is outside, make sure they have access to shade and plenty of cool water.

-Water safety is important for your furry friends. Do not leave pets unsupervised around a pool, as they aren’t all good swimmers.

-Watch your pets closely at backyard barbecues. Keep them away from the grill and know that some food can be poisonous. Avoid raisins, grapes, onions, chocolate, and products with artificial sweeteners.

-Heat stroke is a common problem for pets in the warmer weather. Dogs with short noses or snouts, like the boxer or bulldog, are especially prone to heat stroke, along with overweight pets and those with an extremely thick fur coat. Signs of heat stroke in your pet include heavy panting, inability to calm down, brick red gum color, fast pulse rate, and inactivity.

-If you suspect your pet has heat stroke , contact your veterinarian.

-Keep all doors and unscreened windows closed , and make sure screens are tightly secured.

-Remember that some plants in your garden can be hazardous to animals . Visit the Animal Poison Control Center to find out which plants and flowers are off limits.

Please visit www.redcross.org for more information. The Pet Cremation Center of Southern Utah wishes you and your pets a safe and happy summer. Visit us at 1316 S. 400 E., Ste. A3 in St. George, or contact us at (435) 523-4800.

Choosing a Pet Cremation Provider: Five Questions You Should Ask

Wed, 29 Mar 2023 09:00:00 GMT

Did you know that the pet cremation industry is unregulated? This means that there is no accountability at a state or federal level for businesses offering pet cremation services. If you are considering cremation for your beloved pet, here are five questions you should ask before selecting a provider:

1 – Do you have your own on-site crematory? Businesses offering pet cremation services may use off-site or out-of-town providers. It is also important to know if your pet is being cremated in a legitimate crematory versus a make-shift incinerator. We have our own on-site crematory specifically for pets.

2 – Do you offer private pet cremation? Many pet cremation facilities say they offer private cremation, but, in reality, their pet is cremated with other animals with partitions in place. We offer 100% private pet cremation – your pet is cremated alone.

3 – May I tour and inspect your facility? It may be a reg flag if a pet cremation provider will not let you see behind the scenes. We offer private tours and an opportunity to conduct a full inspection of our facility and crematory.

4 – How do you guarantee that I will receive my pet’s cremated remains? A good provider will offer a method to ensure that you receive your pet’s correct remains. We utilize a unique stainless steel disc to track all pet cremations, thus ensuring proper identification. Additionally, we offer the opportunity to witness your pet’s cremation.

5 – How long does it take to receive my pet’s cremated remains? Pet cremation providers should return your pet’s cremated remains in a timely manner. In most cases, we can complete the entire process within 24 hours, excluding weekends, holidays, special order urns, etc.

We are a full-disclosure facility and welcome your interest and questions into every aspect of our business. We’ll make sure your pet receives the dignified care they deserve while treating you with respect and compassion during a difficult time.
