The death of a pet is always a time of sadness, but it is something every pet owner faces the day he or she gets a pet. The Pet Loss section of Critter Chatter has a number of articles, poems and prose that may be of comfort to a person who has lost a pet. The Memorial Garden is a place where a tribute or eulogy can be placed in remembrance of a lost pet. A photo can be included. There is no cost for this.

The "Rainbow Bridge" story has been a source of comfort for many people who have suffered the loss of a pet. We have offered a personalized version of the "Rainbow Bridge" to pet owners who have lost a pet, and over the years have sent hundreds of copies to people all over the country. Many of them have written back to tell us how much it meant to them.

This version of the "Rainbow Bridge" includes the name of the deceased pet in the text, with a personal memorial at the end, and is printed on a rainbow paper that is suitable for framing. Most people hang it on a wall next to a photo of the pet or over the urn.

If you would like to receive a copy of the "Rainbow Bridge" in memory of a pet, we just need some information about your pet and we will send it to you.

The information we need is the pet’s name, sex, the date of birth and date of death. If you do not know both dates, the years will be fine. If you don’t know both years, as can happen when a pet is adopted as an adult, just the name is enough.

We also need the name and mailing address of the person to whom we are to send it. You can contact us by phone, mail, or e-mail.

The above contact information also applies if you would like to post something in the Memorial Garden.

We do not ask for or accept money for this; it is just something we do for our readers. We do ask that you make a donation in your pet’s name to a shelter, rescue group or animal welfare organization in the area in which you live. It is a more appropriate use of the money, and these groups can all use the help.
