Sympathy cards for pets

The death of a dog, cat or other beloved pet can be devastating to their owner. Show that you’re thinking about them with a heartfelt condolence card for pets. Make it extra special with a photo of their furry friend, a favorite memory, or nostalgic anecdote about the animal.

Add the right message to your condolences card

Finding the right words to write in a sympathy message can be a challenge. You can go with something generic like “May he/she rest in peace”, or a religious phrase like “I pray that God comforts you during this time of loss.” If you were close to the person who passed, you can share favorite memories or thoughts about them. You can also include practical information such as whether you’ll be attending the funeral, memorial, or coming to visit them another time. What’s important is simply letting them know they are in your thoughts, and you are there for them.
