The hardest thing about having dog is when they pass away. It’s heart breaking to say the very least. At Wonder Dog Gear we hear of someone losing their dog all too often since not only have we worked with a lot of dogs, but through Wonder Dog Fund we help many who are in need of veterinary care, often times senior dogs.
Here are 5 Ways to Honor a Dog That Has Passed Away
Dog Memorial Services
On way to honor or remember your dog, really celebrate your dog’s life is by holding a memorial service. This may be as easy as having the family grow a tree in the yard to a full service of inviting family and friends to a park or perhaps garden, your house or a your dog’s favorite place. You may also light a candlestick online and also invite friends and family to a candle light in respect of the dog.
Create A Past Book for Your Dog
We live in a time of digital photography. Think about how many photos you have of your dog on your phone. When your dog passes away, though it hurts to see those photos, it can also be very healing to go through them and celebrate the great life you gave your dog.
With our dogs being so much part of our family and friends circles, creating a Past Book is a great way to share and celebrate the wonderful life of your dog.
