Cranbrook Veterinary Hospital Pages

Our pets are valued friends
and important family members.

Grief is always difficult and everyone responds differently.
It is important to take care of yourself during this time of pet loss. Cry. Talk to people and take time to reflect and to grieve.
Close friends and family may not fully understand your pet loss. They may not value how attached you are to your dog or cat. The bond between you and your pet may be intensely strong and lasting. It is your pet and only you know how strong the bond is between you.

Before the Procedure You May
Want Mementoes of Your Special Pet

Please ask our staff for an ink stamp of your pet’s paw print or a lock of your pet’s fur.
