This web site is provided as a public service only. It is not designed to make a specific diagnosis or to dictate specific treatment options. It is designed to provide you with information. Please see your regular veterinarian for consultation. It is our wish that we could respond to all inquiries, but due to our limited staff we are unable to do so. We take comfort in knowing that we can refer grieving pet owners to many excellent resources.

There are links to national pet grief hotlines and internet resources in the Related Links section of our website.
