Companies offering pet bereavement
By Elyse Wanshel, Huffington Post
To many, a pet isn’t “just a dog” or “just a cat.” People share deep bonds with their animals, and when one dies, the experience can be devastating.
Fortunately, a few companies are beginning to take this loss more seriously.
CBS Miami reports that some companies are now offering “pet bereavement days,” or paid time off, so that employees can process the death of their pet, regroup and begin to heal.
