A companion who has been there through all of life&rsquo;s hardships deserves a sendoff that celebrates the joys as well as the sadness.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Of course, that doesn&rsquo;t mean finding the right sympathy message for a pet is easy. Although many of the same kinds of messages (I&rsquo;m sorry for your loss; Thinking of you during this difficult time) are appropriate, you may want to go above and beyond to personalize your sympathy card message.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Here are a few options to help you find the perfect words to say.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li dir=\"ltr\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Our deepest sympathies for your loss. We know how important ________ was in your life and in your heart.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li dir=\"ltr\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\">We are so sorry to hear about your loss. ________ was a joy to all who had the privilege of knowing him\/her.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li dir=\"ltr\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Our thoughts are with you during this difficult time. No one will be able to replace ________ in our hearts.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li dir=\"ltr\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Extending our sincere sympathies to you and your family.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li dir=\"ltr\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\">________ was so much more than a dog&mdash;he\/she was a true friend, and will be missed.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li dir=\"ltr\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Treasured friends are never fully forgotten. Thinking of you and your loss.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li dir=\"ltr\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\">________ will be greatly missed. He\/she offered so much joy and happiness to all of us.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li dir=\"ltr\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Best friends come in all shapes and sizes, and ________ was one of the best out there.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li dir=\"ltr\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Although nothing we can say will ease the pain of ________&rsquo;s passing, we want you to know that we&rsquo;re thinking of you and wishing you all the best.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li dir=\"ltr\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\">________ was a true friend, and we know his\/her loss isn&rsquo;t easy. Please take care of yourself during this difficult time.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li dir=\"ltr\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\">We will always remember how much joy ________ brought into everyone&rsquo;s life.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li dir=\"ltr\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\">________ was a beautiful dog and a great companion. We will always miss him\/her.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li dir=\"ltr\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\">You lost a true and treasured friend today, and we mourn your loss with you.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li dir=\"ltr\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\">________ was a joy to be around, and we will miss the sounds of his\/her happiness at being a part of your life.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li dir=\"ltr\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\">We share your grief in losing a faithful friend and loyal companion.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li dir=\"ltr\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\">At first they need us, and then we need them. Your loss affects us all.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Above all else, be sure and reinforce the importance of the animal&rsquo;s life&mdash;and how profoundly his or her loss can affect the bereaved. Because the loss of a pet is often regarded as less than or not equal to the loss of a human, it can be hard to find sympathy. Your expression and gesture will mean so much in helping your friend begin to find comfort again.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When it comes to the pain of losing those we love, many of us feel no difference between our four-legged friends and our human ones.
