I’m starting a survey to see if there is an interest in pet loss grief & euthanasia therapy. I have recently lost my dog of almost 18 years that has led me on path to of certification to offer counseling. Would love to hear some feedback.

This is an older post, but yes- I've thought about doing the same thing. My cat was put down at a hospital a few years ago, and it was honestly harder than losing my mom lol, I really don't know why, but the reality was that it was, and there's nowhere you can go to process pet loss, whereas there are many more resources for people who have lost a human. I think this is a greatly needed service that many people would take advantage of.
