TV Vet Emma Milne added: “For me, like everyone else, animals are part of the family. Arty Lobster's pet sculptures are a wonderful way for pet owners to remember a deceased pet." “There is a real need to recognise that, and for relatives, friends and employers to take into account the real, and often overwhelming, sense of loss. Of course, people realise they are pets and as such have generally much shorter lives than people, but that doesn’t underestimate the real grieving experienced. Marie Carter, Editor of Pets Magazine, said: "Sadly, many people still do not understand that for many pet owners, dogs and cats in particular, are now regarded as ‘family members’. They also want ways of remembering their pet and its quirks and character traits and the importance it played in their lives and the life of the family.” People want to have a good send off for their pet, which is most usually their dog or cat companion. Lars Andersen, Managing Director of Arty Lobster, said: “A growing part of our customer base is served by people looking for that lasting memento mori of their pet. Pet lovers are also being asked to support the national day’s partner The Oldies Club, a national charity, which rehomes dogs aged seven and over.Ī Twitter chat will take place on Tuesday July 5 using the hashtag #PetRemembranceDay for people to show their support and share thoughts and photos.
