How do I tell my vet that my pet has died?

I'm really sorry to hear about the loss of your pet. Losing a beloved animal can be incredibly hard, and it's completely normal to feel a wide range of emotions. When you're ready to inform your veterinarian, you can simply call or email their office to let them know. Vets understand how attached we get to our pets and are prepared to support you through this difficult time.



You might say something like, "I'm calling to let you know that [Pet's Name] has passed away." It's also okay to share any arrangements you're thinking about, such as cremation or burial, and the clinic may have resources or recommendations to help you through this.



If your pet passed at home and you have any questions about what might have happened, don't hesitate to ask your vet for insights. They might offer closure or advice for future pet care.



Remember, it's important to take care of yourself as you grieve. Allow yourself time to process this loss and reach out to friends, family, or pet loss support groups if you need someone to talk to.



If you're looking to discuss this more deeply or have other questions, consider booking a video consult with Dial A Vet. We’re here to support you in any way we can.
