Parents experience
endless milestones with their children. Some magical and heartwarming, some
awful and unavoidable.
Teaching
young children about death, family member or pet, tops the terrible list, but
there are tools and attitudes moms and dads can arm themselves with, that can
ease the conversation for all.
Paw Pods is on a mission to make pet loss beautiful, easily understood,
environmentally safe and as dignified as possible.
A teaching tool for kids to learn about the
circle and celebration of life...
Fish tend to
be the “starter pets” for kids. However, that doesn’t diminish the important
lessons of responsibility and compassion that are instilled from pet ownership.
With a short life span, it’s inevitable that young ones will see that first pet
pass away. The first instinct is to flush it down the toilet, which is wrong
and harmful for several reasons:
§ This creates infestations in storm drains, ponds
and rivers that kill the ecosystem, creates a competitor and predator to local
fish and affect the growth of native plants. Not only is it illegal and unfair
to your pet, but the goldfish harm the natural environment as they can grow to
the size of dinner plates.
Paw Pods Fish Pods can help young ones avoid the trauma of seeing a
pet flushed down the toilet. This also may serve as an important teaching tool
for parents, death can be very difficult to explain, let alone comprehend for
children, make them a part of the process.
Creativity
helps the healing process. You and your little one can decorate the
pods with your pet’s name and pictures to allow children to be involved in
creating a pet memorial and leave their sadness behind.
While it’s
impossible to shelter your children from the loss of a pet, you can help
them cope.

The 411:
It is never easy to lose a pet. I remember as a kid my friends would bury their pets in the backyard in a cardboard box. It never felt right. All I ever thought about was how cold the pet must be. It was a pathetic resting place for a loved pet.

The Pod is 100% biodegradable and made of bamboo powder, cornstarch, and rice husk which allows it to break down to beneficial compost within 5 years.
They Pods come in different sizes from fish size to medium pet size and can be painted or personalized if your child wishes. Let them lead the best way for them to cope. Maybe leaving good-bye messages or writing their pet's name is what will help them most.
It also comes with a sympathy card in the same shape that is featured on the top of the pod. After placing the pod in the ground you can place this card that contains seeds for a living memorial
I think this is a beautiful tribute to a much loved pet.
