Many years ago I noticed a rise in people's sorrow at their dog's death and gave some fleeting consideration as to possible ways of capitalizing on this. Now, the attention paid to a dog's passing has increased considerably. You can buy a Hallmark card that offers condolences on the death of Spot. If your grief is quite severe, you can join a pet loss circle and meet periodically to assuage your grief. If you can't find a circle, you can always call the Tufts University Pet Loss Support Hotline.
One surprising fact I learned from this article was that there has been a pet cemetery in Dedham, Mass. since 1907. Pine Ridge Pet Cemetery houses about 20,000 dogs.
