Free pet loss leaflets for vets and rescues

Three one-page leaflets to hand to someone whose pet has died: where to find free support, what the rules say about burying a pet at home, and how to help a child. Add your own name and print.

Print a leaflet

Add your name if you would like it on the sheet, choose a leaflet, and print. Each one is a single A4 page.

Which leaflet?

Each number, set of hours and quote is checked against its source every night, and each sheet prints the date it was last confirmed.

How to use it

Type your practice, rescue or group name if you would like it on the sheet. Choose a leaflet and press print. Each one fits on a single A4 page, with a 50 mm line at the foot so you can check it printed at full size.

Print as many as you like, put them in a waiting room or a sympathy card, or keep a few by the phone. They are free, and there is nothing to sign up for.

What is on each leaflet

Free people to talk to. A short, kind note on grief, then each free UK line: Blue Cross Pet Loss Support, Cats Protection's Paws to Listen, Cruse, Cruse Scotland and the Samaritans, with the number, the hours and who it is for. It also says when to see a GP.

Burying a pet at home. The official guidance for each of the four UK nations, quoted word for word, with the address of each page.

Helping a child. For a family with children. In our own words, it passes on what the charity Child Bereavement UK advises: say plainly that the pet has died, rather than "gone to sleep"; expect a child to be sad, then playing, then sad again; and what children of different ages understand about death, from its guide to ages and stages. It ends with gentle ways to remember a pet together. Winston's Wish, which many people know, is now part of Child Bereavement UK, so the leaflet points to that one charity. Both pages were read on 30 October 2026.

How we keep them right

A leaflet with an old number on it is worse than none. So every night our site checks each number and its hours against the organisation's own website, and each burial quote against the authority's page. Each line on the leaflet prints the date it was last confirmed. If something no longer matches, the leaflet says it is being re-checked.

The same list is on our pet loss support page, and the full burial guidance is on burying a pet at home. No leaflet mentions anything we sell.

Other questions you may have

Can we put our practice logo on it?
Not yet. You can add your practice or rescue name, which prints at the top.
Can we photocopy the leaflets?
Yes, as many as you like. Print a fresh one now and then, so the numbers and dates stay current.
Do the leaflets advertise Small Goodbyes?
No. Our web address sits at the foot so people can find the page again, and that is all.
