Supporting our pets through times of grief is crucial, as they deeply feel the loss of a fellow furry family member just like us. Providing comfort through soothing activities can help everyone cope. With August 28th being Rainbow Bridge Remembrance Day, it's a special time to remember our beloved pets who have crossed the Rainbow Bridge🌈. Here are some Pet memorial ideas that honor their memory and bring comfort to your pets still by your side.
Customized Jewelry 💍
Have a piece of jewelry made that incorporates your pet’s name, paw print, or a small portion of their ashes. Wearing this piece can keep your pet close to your heart.
Work with a jeweler who specializes in memorial pieces, or find a DIY kit online. Then, choose a design that feels meaningful to you. (Etsy sellers do this a lot!)
Nature Walk Tribute 🌸
Take a nature walk in one of your pet’s favorite places and scatter flower petals or biodegradable confetti in their memory. This can be a peaceful way to honor their spirit in nature.
Choose a park or scenic trail and bring along petals or confetti. Take your time walking and reflecting, and find a special spot to scatter your tribute.
Create a Commemorative Artwork 🎨
Channel your grief into creativity by crafting a piece of art that represents your pet. You can paint their portrait, create a collage of their photos, or even make a paw print art piece. This can be a therapeutic way to remember your pet and can be framed and displayed in your home as a tribute.
Get a Tattoo
Commemorate your pet with a special tattoo. Whether it's their paw print, a portrait, or a symbol that represents them, a tattoo can be an enduring tribute.
Find a reputable tattoo artist and discuss your ideas. Bring photos or sketches to help create a meaningful design. This can be a comforting way to honor their memory in a lasting way.
Create a Lickimat Tribute 🦴
As we honor the memory of our beloved pets who have crossed the Rainbow Bridge, it's important to provide comfort to not just ourselves, but the pets left behind too. One wonderful way to offer this comfort is with a Lickimat which promotes calmness and reduces anxiety. Here’s a special Lickimat recipe to help your grieving dog feel a little more at ease.
