The death of a pet offers parents the chance to show their children that death is a part of life and that it\u2019s ok to grieve.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Explaining pet loss to children depends on the age of the child and the parent\u2019s comfort level with loss and grief. Come along with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.truecareveterinaryhospital.com\/\">True Care Veterinary Hospital<\/a> as we explore explaining pet loss to children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Explaining Pet Loss to Children<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Any child old enough to have a relationship with a pet is old enough to be informed that a pet has passed. It may be a tough conversation, but children deserve to know if <a href=\"https:\/\/www.truecareveterinaryhospital.com\/services\/hospice-care.html\">their pet has died<\/a>, whether <a href=\"https:\/\/www.truecareveterinaryhospital.com\/blog\/end-of-life-pet-care\/\">by euthanization<\/a> or natural causes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are many ways that parents can explain pet loss to children. Experts recommend that parents:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Make children as comfortable as possible<\/li><li>Tell the child in a familiar setting<\/li><li>Use a soothing voice<\/li><li>Be honest<\/li><li>Answer all questions, but answer simply, in terms the child can understand<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Parents should take some time to think about their own thoughts and beliefs about death, and share them with their children. Share your feelings, too! This helps your kids understand that it\u2019s ok to be sad and to grieve.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are also several books that can help parents with explaining pet loss to children. Try any of the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>The Dead Bird<\/em> by Margaret Wise Brown<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Badger\u2019s Parting Gift <\/em>by Susan Varley<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>The Tenth Good Thing About Barney<\/em> by Judith Viorst<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">More Than Words<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Children, especially young children, process feelings through action. So most experts recommend finding ways to honor your pet with actions that children can participate in. These may include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Having a memorial for your pet, that your children can help plan and participate in<\/li><li>Frame a picture and create a special space in your home to honor your pet<\/li><li>Light a candle for your pet or release a balloon, and talk about special memories<\/li><li>Plant a tree or plant in your garden as a special tribute to your pet<\/li><li>Make a scrapbook or memorial box with mementos of your pet<\/li><li>Have your child paint a picture of your pet, and talk with them about their favorite times together<\/li><li>Children may want to play out the pet\u2019s death over and over again with puppets or stuffed animals. This is a child\u2019s way of processing and should be encouraged if they initiate it.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Don\u2019t Forget<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It may sound strange, but recalling past pets is a healthy family pastime. Telling funny stories, sharing fond memories, and even allowing your child their sad feelings again when remembering their pet are all good ways to process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kids are just like the rest of us. When a pet dies, they (and we) need honesty, mutual respect, and a way to grieve in a safe and supportive environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have any questions about explaining pet loss to children or about your pet\u2019s health, please <a href=\"https:\/\/www.truecareveterinaryhospital.com\/contact-us\/\">contact us<\/a>.&nbsp;<br><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For many children, their first experience of death occurs with the loss of a pet.
