It is very difficult to lose a beloved family pet. We believe it is important to give every family and pet a comforting transition. We are honored to support families in all aspects of the end-of-life process and believe a pet’s passing can be a beautiful experience that can help our children learn about life, death, and grief.
Paws into Grace owner and founder Dr. Elizabeth Benson spends her free time with her three children, Everly (7), Thatcher (4), and Amaya (2). Dr. Benson and her team have walked alongside their children during times of grief and loss numerous times. In doing so, they have compiled recommended resources, including blog articles, books, and memorial items to help families in the end-of-life process.
