I'm new to editing pages on Wikipedia, but I would like to help revive this page and make it better. I've already tried deleting an external link that was linked to a GoDaddy page, so it seemed appropriate delete since it has nothing to do with this page. I want to make huge changes, but I'm a little afraid to make them. Kuzain suggested to deleted this page since there is a lot to change. If this page does need to be deleted then perhaps it can be moved to Wikiversity since there is a lot of instructional content on this page? For now I will try to clean up the external links as best as possible. -- Loera1 00:17, 28 October 2013 (UTC)
This article is in need of serious attention but I am afraid I am not quite sure what to do with it. I was tempted to simply request that it be deleted but ultimately decided that I was not familiar enough with the deletion policy to do so. As it stands now, the article is incomplete with many headers for areas that don't exist yet and is generally poorly formatted. This article also discusses a "rainbow bridge" which is not a belief held by any majority or significant minority. While many people do have systems for discussing the passing of an animal ("went to live on a farm," "ran away," ect) and these do deserve mention, the article does not need to be anywhere near as focused on this "rainbow bridge" as it is. I realize this is probably not a frequently visited article (I myself found it via the article on Death), but if anyone thinks they can clean this up please do so. I myself will try if no one else takes it on in the next few days. If anyone who happens upon this article and does feel competent enough to request deletion that would be an option as well. - Kuzain 19:00, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
I have just added a couple of observations on how grief for a pet can differ from grief for a human, from the Grief and Pet Loss FAQ which used to be posted to rec.pets.cats. I would also have added a link to this FAQ, were it not that it disappeared one day with a note that it was "suspended due to a legal problem over the manner in which some references were sited" and never reappeared. -- Ekaterin 12:40, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
I've been in the pet loss community for over 10 years, the article title is ok...should be pet loss, as this is what most people search. do not delete this article please, i will revise when i have time. thanks.-- Copydoc 03:00, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
Following sections might be valuable:
FT2 ( Talk | email) 04:08, 9 December 2006 (UTC) I started re-ordering existing content to get closer to this structure, but didn't want to rewrite content at same time so end result is not quite there. I notice you didn't have a section on belief systems. I'd probably prefer to see that content moved to another page somewhere.-- PaulVonPaul ( talk) 14:37, 14 November 2011 (UTC)
Any reference on the rainbow bridge stuff? That looks sooooooooo silly! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 201.15.137.123 ( talk) 02:38, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
I think this is a metaphor rather than a true belief system. It has some relevance in the context of beliefs relating to pets and the afterlife. I'm leaning to the view that the whole section on beliefs about non-human death might go better somewhere else. Leaving this page primarily about the differences between pet loss and human loss and resources to help those dealing with the loss of a pet.-- PaulVonPaul ( talk) 14:29, 14 November 2011 (UTC)
Is this a correct summary? If this were the definition, I would think you would just call it ' animal grief'. Animal loss should probably refer to the subject of losing an animal, of which animal grief would be an aspect of since that is how grief is how many people react to loss.

This sounds improbable. Plenty of pets die on their own. The reference links don't support this claim. I am addign a citation needed tag. Ace of Sevens ( talk) 09:23, 16 August 2011 (UTC)
This article has major POV issues, and is written from a modern, urban setting - farmers kill their own animals when sick, and don't need so-called "grief counselling" to do so.
The part on religion/belief about pets is problematic - it appears to gloss over historical cultures that venerated dead animals.
Animal mummy says that Ancient Egyptians believed pets would accompany families in the afterlife.
Note that the articles Horse sacrifice and Horse burial include details of ritualistic killing of animals after their owner has died - this touches on religious claims about animals.
This seems like it needs attention from an expert in religion or anthropology.
