After Loss
The First 72 Hours
A Checklist for After Pet Loss
When a companion animal dies, grief arrives alongside a set of practical decisions that most families have never had to make before. Cremation or burial? When to call the vet? What about pet insurance? What do you tell the children? This checklist walks through the first 72 hours in time-ordered sections — not to rush you, but to make sure nothing falls through the cracks when your mind is elsewhere. Take what you need. Leave what you don't.
