We found out about this book through a link on when we knew the death of our beloved Muffin was soon. It really and truly helped us to prepare ahead of time for what we wanted for him--so we wouldn't be making decisions after the fact. It also reaffirms that fact that the grief one feels for the loss of a much-loved pet is real and not something "silly". While it's not fun to think about, those who have a pet (re. of breed or type) they love dearly may want to have this. There's also a chapter about post-death grief and how to help young children deal with the death as well. Recommended highly!

This is a wonderful book and I recommend it for anyone who has an older pet or a terminally ill pet or has just lost a pet. I read it while preparing for the loss of my cat, and best friend, a 20 year old gray tabby boy. A year after I read it, he was diagnosed with lymphoma and this book helped me so much during that time. I now buy it for friends who are going through the same. It's so nice to be able to help a friend with a book like this.

This is a very good book with lots of information. These authors understand what it is like to lose an animal friend. It suggests preparing for your animal's loss before it happens so that one doesn't have to think about what to do when the loss occurs and thing's get emotional.
