Grief Support

The bond between humans and animals is a strong one, so it's natural to feel devastated and lost when a cherished pet passes away.  There is no perfect way to be fully ready to say goodbye.  There is also no quick remedy for the sadness that follows this loss.  The loss of a pet takes an emotional toll.  Dr. Alexis addresses this topic in her self-authored Pet Loss Support Booklet and provides owners with resources for children as well as information on pet grief for other animals in the home.  However, she understands that there is a significant healing period that follows each appointment.  Below is a list of additional resources that Dr. Alexis believes will be of assistance to you during this devastating time.
