ABSTRACT
Clients who are experiencing the grief associated with pet loss can benefit from a variety of therapeutic interventions. They run a spectrum from initial debriefing efforts by first responders to multiple therapy sessions for the treatment of depression and post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Clients should seek out therapists who have an understanding of the issues that are unique to grieving pet parents and are trained in treatment modalities that are effective in the treatment of associated symptoms.
