You are not alone

The grief that follows the loss of a pet is real, and it deserves the same compassion as any other loss. We share these independent resources to support you through every part of this experience.

ASPCA Pet Loss Hotline

A free, confidential resource staffed by trained volunteers.

Cornell University Pet Loss Support Hotline

Operated by Cornell veterinary students under faculty supervision.

Lap of Love Pet Loss Support

Articles, support groups, and resources from a national veterinary network specializing in end-of-life care.

Helping Children Navigate Pet Loss

The loss of a pet is often a child's first encounter with grief. It's important to provide them with a gentle, supportive environment that helps them process their emotions and understand that their pet will always be a part of their story.

We recommend talking with a counselor or a support hotline volunteer who specializes in pet loss. These resources offer a safe space for families to share their experiences and find comfort in knowing they are not alone during this difficult time.
