These dog sympathy cards have been designed by us to give comfort and pleasure to those who have had a pet bereavement. Pet loss can be as significant and profound as the loss of any family member, and I know that when I have lost a pet in the past, a moving pet loss sympathy card has been really touching. Each card has a moving message or quote.
A purchase of one of these sympathy cards especially for a dog's death not only helps us to keep our site going so that we can help those coping with grief of any kind, but will also provide your recipient with this website address so that they can get help with their loss too. (It is written on the back of each card - not on the front as you see here!)
Thanks go to many of our friends who have generously allowed photos of their beloved pets to be used for these cards.

I took this amazing photo of a cloud that looks like the head of a dog from a ship in Thailand, just off the coast near Koh Samui.
"Dogs come into our lives to teach us about love, the depart to teach us about loss. A new dog never replaces an old dog, it merely expands the heart. If you have loved many dogs your heart is very big." Erica Jong
"The greatest love is a mother's, then a dog's, then a sweetheart's". Polish Proverb
"Not the least hard thing to bear when they go from us, these quiet friends, is that they carry away with them so many years of our own lives". John Galsworthy
Dogs are not our whole life, but they make our lives whole.
A dog is the only thing on earth that loves you more than he loves himself.
Dogs leave Pawprints on our Hearts.

How to Write a Pet Sympathy Card
For USA Residents:
Please help our colleagues at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, and Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, USA by joining in their research study:
Losing a child to cancer is devastating, and there is a critical need to develop effective supports.
A federally-funded study in the United States (US) evaluating different types of support for bereaved parents is currently seeking participants. Parents residing in the US may be eligible if they lost a child diagnosed with cancer at least 6 months ago and live in one of the following states: NY, NJ, PA, CT, FL, or TN (other eligible states are being added, please complete the survey to check with us).
To find out if you may be eligible, please click here, visit our website at bereavedparentsupportstudy.com, or email us at parentstudy@mskcc.org.
