Pet sympathy cards
A card for the loss of a dog or cat doesn't need many words. Here is what to write, short lines you can borrow, and a free card front you can print with the pet's name and paw.
What to write inside
Keep it short. Say you're sorry, say the pet's name, and if you knew them, share one small memory: how they met you at the door, or claimed the sunny chair. Sign off warmly. There's no need for advice, and no need to ask how they are.
Short lines you can use
Swap in the pet's name and change anything that doesn't sound like you.
With love, and so sorry about Hazel.
Thinking of you and remembering Bear, the best boy.
Holding you close as you miss Mochi.
So many happy years. So sorry for your loss.
Remembering Toffee with you today, and always.
Their paw prints are on all of our hearts.
Print a card front with their paw
The free memorial maker makes a 5 x 7 inch card front with the pet's name, dates, a few words and a paw. Print it at 100 percent, trim it, and glue it to a folded blank card. If your friend has a photo of their pet's paw print, the paw print tool can turn it into line art for the card.
Sending something with it
A card is enough. If you'd like to send something more, a small keepsake made from the pet's paw print, a memorial stone for the garden, or simply a meal on the doorstep are all kind. Our pet memorial gifts guide has ideas.
