Pets are just like family, and for many of us, they may even be more present in our daily lives than our human loved ones. The loss of a pet is difficult and complex, but honoring their memory with a keepsake can be a symbol of their memory that helps as we navigate grief.

That's why we offer memorial jewelry, keepsakes, and pet urns on the Companions for Life website: https://companionsforlife.com/memorial-merchandise/

As winter snow and ice accumulate, salt and chemical de-icers are likely to be found on sidewalks. Help keep your pet safe and comfortable with a few winter walking tips!

❄️ After each walk, Wipe off and dry your pet’s feet and stomach to remove ice, salt, and chemicals.
❄️ Consider trimming the fur between their pads to prevent ice buildup.
❄️ If your dog doesn't wear booties, bring a towel along and watch for signs of paw irritation.
❄️ Limit exposure to the outdoors during severe weather.
❄️ Consult your vet for advice on paw balms and other solutions.
