It can feel confusing and overwhelming looking for a pet aftercare provider - but it doesn't have to. Here are a few tips for navigating the decision process:

-Chat with your primary veterinarian, family, and friends for recommended providers

-Determine what your needs are, such as complimentary urn options and free access to grief counseling. Knowing what you need and want will help narrow your search

-Call your local Care Center to discuss your vision for your pet's aftercare and if they can meet your needs

As always, you may contact our Care Center directly to discuss offerings, customization opportunities, and more.

This piece explores her journey to publishing and the touching thoughts from well-known figures she found along the way.
