Devoted "mother" and founder of Cherished Pets, Jo Ann Davis knew that "Lovey" would not live forever. She thought about pre-planning for her pet's death, knowing how upset she would be when that dreadful day arrived. But after talking with local pet service providers, no one seemed to offer what she was looking for. So unfortunately, Jo Ann ended up doing exactly what she didn't want to do...making final arrangements for her beloved Lovey, overwhelmed by the grief from her loss.

After Lovey's death, questions remained...

  Was the right thing done?
  Were there other options available?
  Was the experience a fitting tribute for this wonderful "family member"?
  Why wasn't there someone who could have answered the questions and helped?

In the days following Lovey's death, Jo Ann pondered these questions, and her answers led to the creation of a specialized pet bereavement business.

Cherished Pets will help pet owners to face the unthinkable... the inevitable loss of their beloved animal companion.
