Expressing Condolences for the Loss of a Pet

Pets are a vital part of many families and when they are gone, some sort of pet condolence can be so appreciated by the grieving families.  Regardless of whether it is a dog or a cat who passed away, writing a sympathy message is something that many of us find very difficult.   We’re not used to expressing condolences, but even if you’re not sure what to write, just saying something simple and heartfelt will go a long way.  Giving a Pet Loss Tree gift is already a powerful statement of love, but your words of support during this hard time  will always be welcome.
