A Beautiful Book But one thing is missing

The storyline is beautiful, touching (cried when I read it) and didactic. A little boy's beloved cat, Pepper, whom he has known all his life, is dying. His mother helps him to deal with the reality and after Pepper is gone, the little boy learns to understand that Pepper will always be close to him in his heart and memories. Although the subject of losing a pet was very well done, there should have been something in there that mentions the responsibility of taking the pet to the Veterinarian -- even just a small mention in a short sentence. Otherwise, the book gives the impression that it's ok to let your pet just...die.
