There's an argument on either side - many companies/employers offer 6 months paid parental leave after a child is born (for both parents), but I haven't seen many people maximizing that benefit by having a child every 12 months.

I am almost certain that pet bereavement will require the pet to be an emotional support animal or require some sort of proof of relationship.
