What a grieving friend actually wants
Not advice, and not a replacement. They want someone to notice that their best friend is gone. A small gift does that better than words.
Gifts that last tend to be ones they can touch: a keepsake, a framed photo, a paw print.
Why a fur keepsake works so well
A Pawch holds a small lock of their pet's fur behind a sealed window. It is small enough to carry daily, so their companion comes along everywhere.
It arrives in a giftable keepsake box. Ship it straight to them with free worldwide shipping, and they add the fur when they are ready.
What to write in the card
Keep it short and use the name. "Thinking of you and Bella. She was so lucky to have you." Or "So you can keep Max close, always."
Avoid "at least" and "you can get another". Just let them know you remember. Then let the keepsake do the rest.
