Did he know that I was with him until the end and that I loved him?

I'm so sorry for your loss. It's clear that your love for your pet was profound, and many pet owners wonder about their pet's awareness in those final moments. Animals often draw comfort from familiar voices and scents, even when they seem unresponsive. Your presence likely provided him with a sense of security and peace.



Pets are incredibly perceptive; they can sense our emotions and intentions more than we often realize. Your gentle touch and soft words probably conveyed your love and care, which surely eased his passing. It's normal to seek reassurance that our beloved companions felt supported and cherished in their last moments.



If you're finding the grief hard to manage, it might help to create a small memorial or write about your favorite memories. These rituals can offer some comfort during this tough time.



Remember, grieving is a very personal process, and there's no right or wrong way to do it. If you find yourself struggling or have more questions about your pet's last moments, consider booking a video consult with Dial A Vet. We're here to support you in any way we can.
