NHAH Introduces Pet Loss Support Group

Are you mourning the loss of a pet?

Do you think it might be time to euthanize your pet?

Is your pet facing a terminal illness?

Do you wonder what to tell your children?

Grief over the death of a beloved pet, whether furred, feathered, or finned is natural and normal. As pet care-givers, we have been privileged to observe the beauty and depth of the bond between people and their pets. We are very much aware of the pain that comes from the death or anticipated loss of a family pet. To help  process through this difficult time, New Hartford Animal Hospital is offering a Pet Loss Support Group. 

Meetings are held on the last Thursday of the month in the NHAH conference room. The group is free and open to clients and their family members. It is a place to share feelings or concerns with others who consider their pets as members of their family.

Discussions will center on personal stories, euthanasia choices, hospice care, preparing for pet loss, and burial options.

Experienced facilitator, Marguerite Kershaw, leads the group.

Please call (315) 737-7387 to learn more or sign up for the next meeting.
