Additional Information
Children may have many difficult questions and handle grief differently than their parents. If you need or want help explaining pet loss or euthanasia to your child, Galena Square Veterinary Clinic's sister hospital (Family Pet Hospital) has a library with children's books regarding the passage of a beloved pet that clients can borrow any time they need to. There is also a good website below with answers to questions that children often ask.
"Until one has loved an animal, a part of one's soul remains unawakened" ~Anatole France
