Lawndale Pet Hospital understands that losing a pet is never easy. We are pet owners too and have experienced the sadness and grief that accompany the passing of a four-legged member of our family.
Finding closure and memorializing your pet can help both to say a final goodbye and to create a lasting memory of his or her character and life.
- Pet loss library —With information gathered from grief experts and pet owners who have experienced similar situations of losing a pet, this library offers a multitude of comforting and gently guiding resources.

- Pet memorial wall —The memorial wall allows you to post a memory of your pet and to offer support to others who have lost their pets.
- Pet memorials —Writing a memorial can be an excellent way of sharing the best memories of your pet and his or her character. In addition to celebrating the pet’s life, a memorial can help to bring closure and remember the best qualities and time spent with your pet.
