This page will give you some ideas of what to write when you need to find the right words on the loss of a pet.
When friends or family lose a beloved pet, they can grieve just as much as losing a close human relation. Just letting someone know that you understand that they are grieving can be a huge comfort for them.
We include sample sympathy notes for pet loss whatever the type of animal. Scroll down for messages for the loss of a dog, cat, rabbit or horse. Of course you can adapt them for any other type of pet too.
You’ll see some photographic cards with quotes on this page too. These are a few of our own range of pet sympathy cards. Sales of these provide us with a small commission which allow us to continue helping people with grief through this website.

Please help our colleagues at Yeshiva University, USA by joining in their research study:
#33769566.1 IRB Approved at the Study Level. 21 July 2022
We are seeking individuals who are caregiving for someone with a life-limiting illness and those who have experienced a significant loss to participate in a research study through Yeshiva University. The purpose of the study is to develop a questionnaire to identify those who may be in need of caregiver or grief support in order to ultimately improve family-centered care in hospitals and clinics.
For caregivers and bereaved individuals who would like to contribute to our understanding of caregiving and bereavement, this is a way to make a difference.
