Grieving the Loss of Your Pet
First, allow us to offer our sincere condolences on the loss of your beloved pet. We understand, as cherished members of our family, that pets are sometimes our closest companions and difficult to lose. To support the needs of UC Davis veterinary hospital clients experiencing loss, we host a monthly pet loss support group and have compiled additional resources to help cope with grief.
The pages of this site contain many resources to help you and your family navigate this difficult time.
Please utilize the information to help children understand the loss of a pet, to help your family heal, and to help best care for yourself.
Additionally, there are suggested outlets such as grief hotlines should you need further help.
