World Pet Memorial Day is a special day observed annually on the second Tuesday of June. It was created to provide a time for pet owners to remember and honour their beloved pets who have sadly passed away and to celebrate the love our pawsome pets brought into our lives.

You can observe World Pet Memorial Day in various meaningful ways, such as:

• Creating a pet photo album or scrapbook: Gathering and arranging pictures and mementos.

• Drawing or painting your pet: Creating a lasting artistic tribute.

• Getting a tattoo in memory of your beloved: A permanent way to keep their memory close. My sister has a beautiful rainbow paw print tattoo. 

• Planting a pet memorial garden: A living reminder in a special place in your garden.

• Lighting a candle: A simple act of remembrance and reflection.

• Donating to an animal charity: Honouring your pet by helping other animals.

• Volunteering at a local shelter: Giving time and love to animals in need.

• Planting a tree or flower: A growing tribute to your pet’s life.

• Sharing a tribute on social media: Connecting with others who understand the loss of a pet using the hashtag #WorldPetMemorialDay.

Crossing The Rainbow Bridge

The Rainbow Bridge is a beautiful and comforting image often shared when a beloved pet passes away. It is believed to be a serene and beautiful place where pets go after they die. A place where pets are healthy, happy, and whole again – young, energetic, and free from pain or illness.

It’s a symbol of hope and the enduring bond between humans and animals, offering solace to those grieving the loss of their furry, scaled, or feathered friends.

Memory Gifts

As mentioned above there are lots of ways to remember your past pet and I offer beautiful cork notebooks that you can use to create a memory journal.
