I completely understand why you're worried. Losing a pet is an incredibly emotional experience, and as a veterinarian, I can tell you that it affects us deeply too. Our pets are family members; we share our lives, dreams, and sometimes even our work with them. It’s perfectly natural to feel a wide range of emotions, from sadness and grief to even guilt or confusion.
The grieving process is unique to everyone, but some common reactions might include feeling numb, having trouble eating or sleeping, or experiencing waves of sadness. Remember, it’s okay to grieve and take the time you need.
Coping with the loss of a pet can take time, and several things might help ease the process. Creating a memory box, photo album, or special memorial spot in your home can provide a comforting way to celebrate their life. Also, talking to others who understand—the veterinary community included—can be incredibly comforting.
If at any point you feel overwhelmed, a mental health professional can provide support as well. It's important to acknowledge that grief is complex, and seeking help is both brave and beneficial.
Feel free to book a video consult with Dial A Vet to share more, discuss feelings, or seek further guidance on navigating this painful time. We're here for you.

Real questions, vet reviewed answers and quality care.
It was so easy, I needed some eye drops for my dog and thinking about going to the vet on a weekend made me nervous about the cost involved. Dial A Vet was a much simpler, cheaper option with faster results. Within 10 minutes of the call, I had the medicine I needed for my dog without an expensive consultation.
A great fast efficient service with a qualified vet who was lovely and helpful. Thank you Samantha. I was able to sort my dog at 6pm on a Sunday night for $49 - amazing. Highly recommend.

What an amazing service, at my wits end as I knew my beautiful dog had an ear infection, could not get into the vet for 4 days. Never knew there was vets online until I googled. Within 15 minutes on a Sunday I was taking to beautiful Samantha who diagnosed and treated our Jasper. Only $49. She trusted that we knew our boy and gave us lots of advice. I will definitely be using dial a vet every time and sharing with all my friends and family. Absolutely fantastic kind caring service. 11/10
