Pet Loss Support

Understanding the Heartbreak of Losing a Pet

Losing a beloved pet can leave an emptiness that words can’t easily fill. They were part of your family — sharing your routines, your home, and your heart. When they’re gone, the quiet can feel overwhelming.

At My Kind of Vet, we understand that saying goodbye to a pet is never “just losing an animal.” It’s losing a companion, a friend, and a source of unconditional love.

Grieving a pet is deeply personal, and there is no single “right” way to do it. Some people find themselves crying often, others feel numb, and some even experience relief knowing their pet is no longer in pain. Every emotion is valid. Pet loss grief is real — and deserves the same compassion as any other form of loss.

What Is Pet Loss Support?

Pet Loss Support is about providing space, understanding, and resources to help you process grief in your own way. It may involve gentle follow-up from our team after a euthanasia appointment, connecting you with counsellors who specialise in pet loss, or helping you create a memorial that celebrates your pet’s life.

Our goal is to make sure you never feel alone after saying goodbye. Whether you prefer quiet reflection, guided counselling, or simply talking with someone who understands, we’re here to support you at every stage.

How We Can Support You

Our compassionate veterinary team cares for both your pet and you. After your pet’s passing, we can:

  • Reach out by phone or email for follow-up Pet Loss Support

  • Offer guidance about what to expect emotionally in the days and weeks ahead

  • Help arrange memorial keepsakes, such as paw prints, ashes, or personalised urns

  • Connect you with professional grief counsellors who understand the unique bond between humans and animals

Sometimes, just knowing that someone understands your loss can make a world of difference.

  • Paw print impressions or a lock of fur keepsake

These small yet meaningful gestures can bring peace, helping you celebrate your pet’s life rather than focus solely on their passing.
