Petto omamori ペットお守り amulets for your pet

Many temples feature memorial services for animals and have graveyards for animals (doobutsu bochi 動物墓地 ) and sell amulets and talismans to pray for the long, healthy life of your favorite pet - dog, cat . . . any animal.

Some elderly people go to these places and put food for animals at the graves - so there always a great number of stray animals to feed there.




More than 400 shrines in Japan sell amulets for animals ペットのお守り.
