How do you stay connected to your pets when you miss them?

Pet Advice

I am a student at university taking a product design course. My current project focuses on pet owners and their needs. I would really appreciate it if you could share how you feel or what you do when you are missing your pet. Feel free to fill out as many or as few questions as you like. Thanks, these responses help me greatly.

I’d love to help. Pets mean a lot to us, so I think this is a great topic.

Do you mean deceased pets, or just missing them while at work?

Both. The first section of the form is focused on missing them while you’re away from home, and the second section focuses on missing deceased pets.

I liked the ones about memories and how we keep our pets close, even when they’re not around.

I just filled it out too! I think it’s really important to talk about how we cope with missing our fur babies.

Totally agree! It’s nice to see a project focused on our feelings for pets.

I always look at photos of my pets when I miss them. It makes me feel connected, even when they’re not around.

That’s a lovely way to stay connected! Do you have any favorite photos that bring back good memories?
