For many people, the death of a pet is not a small or passing sadness; it is the loss of a family member, daily companion, source of comfort, and witness to everyday life. Yet families, workplaces, faith communities, and public mourning rituals often minimize or leave pet loss unrecognized.

For many people, the death of a pet is not a small or passing sadness; it is the loss of a family member, daily companion, source of comfort, and witness to everyday life. Yet families, workplaces, faith communities, and public mourning rituals often minimize or leave pet loss unrecognized.
Companion Animal Remembrance Month, sponsored by All Saints and Perfect Paws, invites communities to acknowledge pet loss with the same compassion, validation, and respect offered after the death of a human loved one.
Recent research reinforces the need for public recognition and support. A systematic review in Death Studies Journal found that animal owners may experience grief “synonymous with the death of a human.” And with 77.5 million U.S. households owning at least one pet in 2025—representing 58.6% of all households—it is clear that compassionate care for those grieving a beloved animal is both needed and deeply meaningful.
