Divine Spirit of all living things,
In your name we pray.
Please guide us in the care of this animal.
Teach us how to be good pet parents.
Ensure that we learn the skills and abilities.
Allow us to call upon your sacred love
and your nutritious bounty
to feed our beloved pet.
Let us nourish his/her spirit as we provide daily bread.
Please bring the wisdom of the animal kingdom
into our home,
for we call upon the power and the glory
of your holy wisdom
to treat this loved one as a holy child of yours.
Amen.
