Grieving the Death of a Pet
Losing a beloved companion can be a devastating experience, often more so than people anticipate.
For many, support from others who understand can be helpful. Muttville holds a pet loss support group on Zoom the first Monday of every month. (Check our Events pages for details).
Dr. Betty J. Carmack worked as a nurse in pet loss counseling since 1982. Her book, Grieving the Death of a Pet, provides help and guidance for people coping with the loss of a dear pet.
We also recommend the SF SPCA Pet Loss Support Group.
