Creating Your Pet Loss Card
Choose a format for your card. To express a brief note of sympathy, you might want to use a notecard. If you want to reminisce at length with a memory or two, a standard 8.5x11 sheet of paper, either open or folded in half, might be preferable.
If your cover design is simple, you might want to choose a border to accompany the wording or photo. Choose an appropriate border with flowers or paw prints, for instance.
If you plan to include a favorite photograph of the pet, decide whether you want it inside the card or on the cover. If you're doing your card by computer, you can download the picture directly to the card. For homemade cards, you can simply lay the photo inside the card, use a card with slits designed to hold a photo, or affix the photo to the card with a small amount of double-sided tape.
If possible, include the years of the pet's birth and death with the photo. If you aren't sure of the pet's age, ask the owner or another family member.
