Happy Veterans Day! 🇺🇸

Today, we honor the men and women who have served our country and thank them for their courage, dedication, and sacrifice.

We also recognize the special bond between veterans and the animals who have served alongside them or provided companionship and comfort at home.

From all of us at Farewell My Friend, thank you to our veterans and their families for your service. ❤️🤍💙

Our pets grieve too 🤍

When a beloved pet passes away, the change can be felt throughout the household, including by the animals who shared their lives with them.

Some pets may become quieter or more clingy. Others might search for their companion, show changes in appetite, or seem unsettled by familiar routines that suddenly feel different.

Not every pet responds the same way, and some may show very little change at all.

Maintaining familiar routines, offering gentle attention, and allowing them to adjust at their own pace can help during this transition.

If changes in appetite, behavior, or activity are significant or persistent, it’s important to check in with your veterinarian to rule out an underlying medical concern.

The relationships our pets share with one another are meaningful, too. 🤍

Not every goodbye happens as planned. 🤍

Sometimes, a beloved pet passes peacefully at home. Other times, a goodbye takes place at a family’s regular veterinary clinic or an emergency hospital.

Wherever that goodbye happens, families still deserve thoughtful, compassionate support in the moments that follow.

Farewell My Friend offers aftercare services for pets who have passed at home or elsewhere, even if their end-of-life appointment wasn’t with us.

We’re here to help families understand their options and make arrangements with care, dignity, and respect. 🤍

Some of the best moments with our pets are the most ordinary. 🤍

A sunny afternoon in the yard. A favorite toy that’s seen better days. The familiar sound of paws following you from room to room. The quiet company of a pet who simply wants to be wherever you are.

Here’s to enjoying the little moments, making memories, and appreciating all the love our pets bring into our lives.

Wishing you and your four-legged companions a beautiful fall weekend! 🍂🐾

The heart behind Farewell My Friend 🤍

As a veterinarian, Dr. Amy Ruksznis has spent years caring for pets and the people who love them. Throughout her career, she’s seen firsthand how meaningful the end-of-life experience can be, and how important it is for families to feel supported through it.

Farewell My Friend grew from her vision of creating something different. A place dedicated entirely to end-of-life care, where families could have the time, privacy, and comfort they deserve during one of the most difficult parts of loving a pet.

That vision continues to shape the care we provide today, from the first conversation with a family to the thoughtful details of each appointment.

Behind Farewell My Friend is someone who understands just how much our pets mean to us 🤍

Sometimes, changes in our pets happen gradually. They may sleep a little more, lose interest in favorite activities, or need more help with things that once came easily.

It can be difficult to know what those changes mean, especially when they're still enjoying moments that feel just like they always have.

Paying attention to comfort, mobility, appetite, and the things that bring your pet joy can help you better understand their quality of life.

The HHHHHMM Quality of Life Scale, shared in today's image, can be a helpful tool for reflecting on these changes and recognizing patterns over time.

You don't have to make sense of every change on your own. Your regular veterinarian can help assess your pet's health, and our team at Farewell My Friend is available to talk through end-of-life care options when those conversations become part of the picture.

These conversations can begin long before a goodbye is planned. 🤍

It’s the little things that make them unforgettable. 🤍

The way they greet you at the door. Their favorite spot on the couch. The toy they’ve loved for years, even though it’s barely recognizable anymore.

Every pet has their own little habits, quirks, and routines that make them who they are. And often, those are the things we find ourselves smiling about most.

What’s one little thing your pet does that you absolutely love? We’d love to hear about it. 🐾

The love we carry for our pets doesn’t end when we say goodbye. 🤍

The ways we choose to remember them are deeply personal, and deciding how to honor their memory isn’t always something we’re ready to do right away.

At Farewell My Friend, families have lifetime access to our memorialization options. Whether you choose a keepsake at the time of your pet’s passing or return to explore options months or even years later, we’re here to help.

From engraved keepsakes and urns to memorial jewelry, our collection offers thoughtful ways to honor the life you shared.

There’s no rush to make these decisions. When the time feels right, we’ll be here to help you find something meaningful. 🤍
