As I see it... a beloved dog and his owner are truly two bodies in one soul.
SO TRUE❤❤❤SO DAMN TRUE ❤❤❤
My Cocker Spaniel Bailey can read my mind sometimes... its crazy.. but true..
@@gardeninggirlct Yes All the time. Mine does. I can't even spell in front of Her. 💕 💞 💞
🥺😢😭🕊️ I’m sorry to hear this. Pets are sent from God. I’m sure of it. They become a permanent part of your life. For people to say “it was only a dog” really don’t understand the pain it can leave you.
We lost our horse, she was 32, and a rescue. But she knew who we were to her, and I can't stop thinking about that last look she gave me before she passed through to Rainbow Mountain. A pack of white cranes flew over us and made the shape of a bird. R.I.P Cocoa!!🐎🐎🐎
I am so sorry about your loss. I grew up owning horses, and I retired my last horse 15 years ago. She moved to a farm to spend her days in the pasture babysitting younger horses. But I do know the intense bond that one gets with their horse. I love dogs, but my bond with my horse was much more intense and deep. Cocoa lived such a long life, and I'm glad she connected with you before she passed on!
That is so beautiful, clearly Heaven sent a blessing and a kiss
So sorry for your loss. We had to put our 17 year old Yorkie down 3 weeks ago. My wife was devastated. He was her 1st baby.
I just had to put my 17 year old Maltese to sleep. The house and my heart are empty.
@@BarbaraDiederich-ut8zg So sorry for your loss. I know how that feels. I lost my 15 yr old Pekingnese in 2022 also. There's a big empty hole in my heart after I lost my 2 dogs.
🙏🏻🕊️🩷
when I lost my heart dog I wrote my boy a love letter. The truth is you never get over it, but you do get through it...
Thanks for the support! Losing a FurBaby to me is the most painful and devastating experience I can have...
I didn't really get anything out of this video that is new to me or very helpful. About a year ago we adopted (or were adopted) by two feral kitties who we had been feeding in our yard for along time. One very small female ginger, and one BIG male american bobtail cat. After a brief sudden illness our Micky the bobtail passed last month. After having lived a long life an having many cats an dogs over the years our Micky was the most special gift from God we ever had. Besides being smarter than many dogs he had a special understanding of my wifes medical challenges an watched over her like hawk. One time when she lost her balance in the kitchen he bolted in there an threw himself in her path so that her head hit his big body instead of the floor. Micky played catch, fetch an return an all kinds of games over most pets intelligence. His running mate from the feral days has yet to stop looking for him. It will be a very very long time for us three to recover from the loss of our Micky....
The video is a minute long and I believe he touched on some very important things, I'm sorry you found no use for this video but some of us do. Reminding us that feeling hurt by the experience is ok, and to not seek comfort from people who just don't understand our love for our fur babies ( who say it's just an animal or pet), is extremely helpful. And seeking out friends and family to help us through it is also very important.
Please accept my sincere condolences..... lost my sweet buddy on Christmas night.... still trying to cope 😢💔
I had to make the hardest decision to let my first dog of 12 years pass away in my arms 2 days back and it’s been difficult to cope.
Had been thinking to myself “when do you stop grieving over the loss and start remembering the good times” and I come across this article.
Thank you Doc….
❤️💐So sorry for your loss, I know how painful it is. I had one of my dogs pass away in my arms as I was calling emergency vets to see her. It got me really hard and to several months for the pain in my heart to become bearable. I still cry when I see videos and pictures of her and it's been over 2 years. God bless❤🙏❤️
@@kimdenig4084 thank you for the kind words. Hope you heal too and God Bless you…
We just lost Our Buddy Boy Big 13 he held on as long as he could So hard but I find talking to him saying Good night or just Love Ya Buddy helps ❤️🐶🙏🙏

Dr. Jones, I'm sorry for your loss of Pippi.
I know you gave her a good life and she was such a sweet girl. I will miss seeing her in your videos.
Ty Dr. Jones, for sharing your loss with us. May you find peace and comfort from all the memories you had together.
RiP Pippi ❤❤❤
I needed this😞..5 years on im still crying everyday 💔
Rest in Power PIP.
Please tell Tyson I miss him and I love him.
He left on December 13,2023
I lost my beautiful dog in December and my mum in January. Not having my dog to cuddle when mum died has made it even harder. I am so grateful for the dogs I've had in my life, they have given me unconditional love. Thanks for being such a wonderful vet x
Soul pain is only healed through time, loving memories of the fun I had with my pupper when he past at 17 years of age, helped me cope with the loss, it's hard.
Thank you Dr Jones! I have used your site for a few years now and your device and guidance gave us years more with our beloved Boo ....
We buried her under a Rosemary bush and now the bees are feeding on the flowers!
🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝
My little Ellie Dog passed 2 years ago, I still tear up when I think of her.
Sorry for your loss. I have seen Pip for years. I lost my fur baby after 13 years from cancer. She waited until I arrived home and died in my arms. She was such a sweet dog and so was Pip. Peace be upon you and blessings.
Lost my sweet 2 year old Rat Terrier due to a Tylenol poisoning 2 years ago. It will hurt forever.
It is really hard to lose you pet. They love us unconditionally and are such important companions that are always there for us. I try to remember that we gave our pets that have passed the very best life possible. We were fortunate to have, them but they were also fortunate to have us. 😊
I am so sorry for your loss. Lost mine this March 17, 2024. He was 10 y/o.
We usually have two dogs at a time. But, we lost our lab mix 18 months ago, leaving us with our Terrier. He died three weeks ago, and my husband and I experienced a dog free home for the first time in 36 years. It was like our home had lost it's soul. We put in an application for a rescue dog, and she is coming to live with us on Sunday!! (I am retired, and my husband will retire in a year.... and we thought about not having animals so we pick up and travel etc. That lasted for about half a day!) 🐕🐶
God bless you and the loss is deep and real😢..what helps me my pup wouldn't want me alone so i go adopt again (so many homeless pups need us)and if i know my baby will go to Heaven soon i prepare by getting my new family member and let my kids meet him or her and let them train them give the "seal of approval "❤
Grief of our beloved ones transcend species. My heart remembers and aches for each and every loss I have ever encountered. Its perfectly fine and healthy to revisit precious memories.
We will be facing this soon. My 12 year old BC has cancer but its doing ok for now. We are making sure that every day he has left is his best day and building more great memories before it is time to let him go...
Have you seen Dr. jones video on cancer treatments…..?
Fenbendazole, I think it is called, dog wormer for cancer. Namaste 🙏
When you’ve shared your life with a pet, no matter how short or long, it’s heartbreaking 💔 my ChowChow lived 16 glorious years, every single day from 12 weeks we were together 🥲
Hey Marie
I found this channel some months ago when both of my cats, aged 16 and 18, were diagnosed with different forms of cancer. This channel gave me hope while I was going through this. Sadly, both my cats passed away a few weeks ago…..one on Tuesday and one on Friday. Their little beds are still in the same place, and each night I still say goodnight to them. Daytime, when I am busy, are not too bad, but sitting here alone each night without them climbing all over me, is horrible.
I'm sorry for your loss, I've experienced it too many times 😢 it's devastating 😢💔
Hello 👋 Mickey
I lost my dog in 2018 and he was 16 years old. It was so hard because that dog was there with me and my family through many of our challenging times and happy times. He just collpased on me and I was with him until his last breath. We buried him in our backyard near a tree. I am confident he watches over us always. He was our hero and was such a beautiful and sweet dog. I miss and love you Miko!
Sorry for your loss 🫂
This video is so timely as we had to our dog Pezza to sleep only this morning .He had stage D heart disease and went into Heart failure. He was given 6-12 months but didn't even last two weeks.
It's so painful, I think of my little Samson every day, I hope to be with him in the afterlife. It brings me comfort. Sorry for your loss.🎉
I lost 2 beautiful lights in my life last year 4 months apart. My heart is still learning my new normal even my other pets feel it too
We talk alot about our fur child and we pull from the silly, annoying, wacked out and definitely loving moments we we able to share with them knowing that we cherished every moment we had together for their very short time on this Earth with us and that we gave them the Best life we could during that time. Try to fill your Hearts with all of the Joyful moments knowing that they're Never Forgotten. ❤ My Heart wraps around you Doctor Jones Pippi was a pretty cool fur baby ❤
Hello Darlene
Thank you so much ❤. You are a true friend to all fellow pet parents as well as a healer and physician. Sending a big hug 🤗 from Egypt 😜🇪🇬
You're a tower of strength and support you should be so proud!!! Btw you're still brilliant!!!
Thank you sooooo much, Dr. Jones....Daisy, our beautiful kitty journeyed to be w God Thursday morning. You are our only vet and we appreciate all you do w all the information. We are so grateful for you. Thank you and so sorry about your Pippi. God has a big lap for all the animals.
I lost my pitbull of 14 years last February and for the month or so after I genuinely could barely go on the only thing that really helped me through was adopting my current dog. I think so long as you are up to take care of another pet that is a great way to deal with it, at first it might feel like you could never replace them but you have to know that your new pet will be looking to you for that same love and care that your previous did. Found your channel today for tips to manage a folicle cyst till I can afford treatment if need be. You are a really good person and I will definitely bge sticking around to show my support!
Thank you Dr Jones I recently had put my dog down 14 years that I know of he was a rescue.
I'm sorry 🙏
@@VeterinarySecrets thank you. And I'm sorry for you and pippy's family's loss also. It's very hard to lose a fur baby
Dr. Jones, thank you so much for all you've done and continue to do for us, parents. I am forever grateful!
God bless you, brother.
Love - Honesty - Respect - Trust - Peace - Forgiveness 💖💖💖
I lost my furbaby Bella last November, its the most unbearable pain I've ever experienced.
Thank you so much for posting this at this time. My 12 years old Pitmix named Keno has been having a hard time with GERD and her knee that she hurt years ago is giving out on her. 20 minutes ago her knee gave out on the stairs and I heard all of her weight hit and she just laid there until I picked her up. I'm in tears right now not knowing what to do but I do know and I believe I personally can't do this anymore and is it fair for her to go on. Your the best Andrew and I'm glad I met you. Peace.
We said goodbye to our beautiful, sweet Chloe today. We rescued her and our other dog, Buddy, the same day. They had never met, but became part of my pack. She was the best friend I’ve ever had. I found Dr. Jones while I was researching holistic ways to treat her lymphoma. We spent a lot of money on chemotherapy, trying to throw everything at the disease. I followed every treatment recommendation from Dr. Jones, but the cancer won. While nothing would cure the cancer, I believe that the treatments helped prolong her life. That’s what counts. Everyday with her was a blessing. We will always love our Chloe.
😢 so sorry for the loss of a wonderful loving and loyal friend who touched us all 💔
After paulie died I planted a dogwood next to where he’s buried then i added some hostas and hydrangeas, then I put in 400 flower bulbs and a fountain. It’s a memorial garden. It really helped me
My sincerest condolences 🙏.
Hi there
❤ Dr Jones veterinarian to the world ❤😊 so thankful for him
I’m so sorry for your loss of Pippi, Dr. Jones. Yes, they are like family and it hurts deeply. Some people just cannot understand the grief because they haven’t experienced the deep love and connection with a dog. They truly are a man’s best friend and the most loyal companions who love you unconditionally and only want your love and care in return. We lost Mia, our Cocker in Aug 2021 and Polo, our Schnauzer in Nov 2022. They were both 16 yrs old. I loved them as my own kids and to this day I’m not over their loss. We have 2 more furry babes and give them lots of love and the best possible life we can but deeply dread the day that something happens to them.
Your sooooo...important for all of us and our baby paws,take good care of yourself cause we need you blessing🙏🙏🙏🙏
So different from your other videos because I felt like you were talking directly to us. I just lost my beautiful sweet pup 1 day before you put this out. ❤ you for it.
The timing of this video is perfect......thank you
My Shih Tzu was my soul dog, my ride or die. I lost him on 1/8/24 at the age of 15.4 years old. Although I somehow knew, it still shattered my heart. I have his ashes, pics, videos to remember. When time time comes, all my dogs ashes will be scattered with mine. Losing a pet is as hard as losing a human, for some of us much worse. The grief is unbearable at times, grieve as long as you need. I had 7 dogs over the years and each room a piece of my heart when their time came. I'm planning on getting one more to help me heal.
Thanks so much. We had to put our cattle dog to sleep last week. It was a shock as we didn’t realize how sick he was. He seemed to be trying to hid his symptoms from us. This is about the fifth dog we’ve had to lose and doesn’t get any easier . So sorry about Pipi what a beautiful dog she was!❤❤
Planting a tree 🎄. Such a good idea!
Thank you. I lost my heart on 11/19/2022 at 12:30 pm and it was and still is the hardest thing I've ever had to go through. Occasionally I still cry.
Sorry for your loss
Naomi my tortico boss cat has been gone 1 year. I miss her dearly
My heart will be truly broken when my Dana finally leaves me, she came into my life right after I lost all four of my siblings in a ten month period. God led me to her when I needed her most. ❤😢
Hi there
I bought a wind chime in the memory of my first dog. now every time the wind blows, it reminds me of my sweet girl and I hug my new dogs a little longer. It's healing to me.
😢 RIP sweet pippi. 💔
I'm 6 foot 4 and 400 pounds I have never had a man make me cry but my cat pasing at 17 mad me cry like a baby.
My dogs are like my family ❤so yes loosing them is very hard
I donated to the most needy and to good causes in honor of my dog !
bless you! ❤️
Thank you for this video me and my chorkie boy kilo have been tuning in for the past few years since your remedies/tips have always been helpful Its been hard since I lost him so suddenly in January. We grew up together and were glued to the hip it feels so weird for him not to be their to greet me in the morning or tuck in at night.
It’s a specific kind of pain losing a pet.
My little family was hit hard with the loss of our grumpy old man dog, Lucky. He was my special baby. He was born unresponsive and had all the markers for poor double Merle breeding(deaf, vision impairment, sunburst pupils, excessive white fur). No one loved or protected our family more than him.
Our other (younger) dog took the loss just as us humans. When I let her smell his empty collar, it’s as if she knew he wasn’t coming back.
A month later, a 3.5 week puppy ended up on our laps. The bio mom rejected the litter and was in an unsafe environment so we took one. Whooeeie! What an exhausting experience. I wouldn’t change the decision but don’t recommend it. 😅💗
Beautiful..thank you ❤
Thank you too!
I lost Jake English yellow lab , 11 years he was my BEST FRIEND we went everywhere together , I miss him Soo much , but when he getting ready to go he told me , in his own way, so I kinda knew it was going to happen, even though, he was a gift that brought me joy and happiness in a very special way , I don't think words can actually say , but I know our love will always be...as long as I can say I am ... And so it is with every furry little friend that came into my life.
I lost my dog 4 months ago and I'm still grieving her loss.
Lost 4 cats in this month,3 from canine distemper and a new born 11days old,she had asthma 💔 i am dead from inside
I did a lot of Wim Hof breathing and EFT tapping when my doggie died.. also I did comforting rituals like lighting a pink candle for her everyday. it took months to feel a little better but I still miss her terribly.
Thank you 🙏🏽
Sorry for your loss😅
I’m so sorry. 😞
💙
WRT #4: One ritual I've found very helpful in processing the loss of a beloved cat hearkens back to the time when families prepared their loved ones for burial (it's also still practiced by some religions). It may sound odd, but I prepare their body for cremation by bathing them and placing them in a decorated basket for transportation to the pet crematorium. It gives me - and the other cats - the chance to say goodbye while also doing the last thing I can for them before letting them go. In the case where my cat dies away from the home (ie, at the ER), I've found that bringing the body back into the house and letting the other cats see that their sibling has died helps them understand what has happened as they don't wander the house calling for the lost sibling in distress when I do this.
I prayed for a chessapeak bay retriever. Literally..well I now have one.. he follows me everywhere..live in the bush this dog is loyal companion, and my big baby❤
2/15/24 BUDDY MY BLK LAB I BOTTEL FED KNEW HAND N WHISTLE SIGNALS WAS ALWAYS WITH ME ALWAYS DIED N MY ARMS WE KNEW WHAT EACH WAS THINKING ALWAYS FROM A PUP TALKED N EXPLAINED TO HIM LIKE HE WAS A 8,9 YEARS OLD CHILD ❤❤❤ "HIGH FREQUENCIE PRAYERS FOR ALL OF HUMANITY AND ANIMALS RIP BUDDY!"
HAVE NO CHILDREN WIDOWED N LOANER

Aww i have rose bushes for my dogs and cat nip plants for my we cats that passed i get comfort sitting out and wow do they bloom ❤

Bye Buddy Bye
When the pain of seeing our friend, family member and companion was more than the decision of saying goodbye, it was time.
When the thought of being selfish, wanting him to stay was more than the compassion of letting him go, it was time.
When we could do no more, it was time. We made our decision with love.
Bye Buddy Bye
Linda, Dennis & His Daughter Zoie
Thank you, Dr.
My guy is approaching 10 in June, has been slowing up the past year and I am already grieving his loss...he had a tough start; they found him running for his life on the streets of Compton, skinny and wild! He now eats much better than I do, has 2 lush walks a day...we go wherever he takes me....
Any advice for me? I'm a Dr. of Oriental Medicine; I KNOW BETTER; LIFE GOES ROUND AND ROUND.
I pray that we die in each other's arms...after some biscuts and a pot of tea. I welcome advice!😭!!
Quit seeing him as dead. He's still alive. Being a HAPPY pet parent is the best gift you can give him. 🙏
❤❤❤
I asked everybidy to write a slip of watevr u wanna write n burries tat with animals with flowers n fragrance .
Doc , its ok ! Atleast he got famous … my retriever is just living king life with no exposure😊.
Jokes apart , write how many times it hit u . Thas important coz u hav other important people left around u ❤ .
Pippy gracefully moved higher in realms . May b he will come as ur boss !!! Dont undestimate tem ! Ha
Good timing. I just lost my dog a couple weeks ago. Although he was a big dog and 9 years old and showing his age, the death itself was totally unexpected.
This is the first time I've been totally dogless in 50 years. It's been excruciating. Even though I still have 2 cats and a horse, it's just not quite the same as that unconditional devotion you get from a dog. Henry was my best friend. 😢
My dog is 13yo and I've had him since he was a month old. I know I don't have much time left with him and trying to prepare myself for when the day comes but I don't think I'll ever be ready for that day. Thankfully he is healthy other than having arthritis, bladder stones, narrow trachea, and a lipoma. No signs of cancer yet. Doing my best to treat the narrow trachea causing coughing and his arthritis. CBD oil and Throat Gold has been doing wonders for him. He's on a prescription diet dog food to help with weight loss so they can do surgery to remove the bladder stones and lipoma. Hard for him to lose weight as he isn't active and gains weight easily. I work 3rd shift and he sleeps at night and sleeps all day with me as I'm sleeping. Wish I could do more with him.
I just lost my Lucky Dog last week. I am still devastated. 💔🕊🐾
Sorry to hear that
@@VeterinarySecrets Thank you so much. Your channel was the first one I found to explain laryngeal paralysis. He was not a candidate for surgery so we did all we could to help him. I had just started him on the turmeric tabs and honey. He was also taking anti-anxiety medicine and steroids. He was only 10 years old...10 days from his 11th birthday. Lucky Dog was a Stumpy Tail Australian Cattle Dog/American Eskimo mix. So beautiful and always so happy. I miss him so much.
I lost my dog suddenly yesterday with no warning...it was a normal day then in the afternoon he dropped dead.....I can't afford a post mortem and all I can think is someone poisoned him I can't get it out of my head
Sono trascorsi 11 mesi, ma sembra ieri!!
Animal lovers are a rare breed. They are ALL family.
Hi Dr. Jones. I love watching your videos. My female cat has mammary gland tumor and it is spreading fast. I have lost another of my cat because she had the same cancer and I took her to the vet and they did surgery to remove the tumor but then another tumor grew on her other mammary gland and she had another surgery. We thought the cancer had finished but it spread fast and she died. So I am not going for the surgery option for my other cat. I started to give her fenbendazole like u suggested for 60 days but it didn't work. Is there anything else I can give her. Please please suggest something I don't want to lose her.
I plant fruit trees every time that way no one will dig up a fruit tree in years to come when it gives back

Hi Dr Andrews, would you mind explaining in a video if Dogs can use Berberine as sugar control alternative treatment? . I have a almost four years pocket beagle that one year ago suffered some few seizures episodes. Dr in Alberta prescribed Phenobarbital,( Dr said that my dog was suposed to needit for life term). I didn't follow this prescription, I bought your ultimate CBD to prevent any seizure episode happening again. After almost a year and three month, my dog only have two moments when the seizure started, immediately we gave him the CBD and seizure, not only stop but didn't repeat. I am asking about sugar control, because my dog was diagnose for the Vet at the same moment of the first seizure with diabetic symptoms ,after a blood test he did this day. So I notice that the two times the seizure has repeated, my dog has increase the frequency and quantity of his urine , which in humans is related with people with sugar problems. if possible I know you are not allow to be vet in Canada , despite this you may give an opinion as very knowledgeable specialist in alternative medicine for animals. Thanks for your advices, you really care on animals. ❤
They are more than life and family can be...
💯👍
Writing a letter to your pet about how much they meant to you looking at the video. While they are alive buying a birthday hat banner making a video with them discussing how you met, what you felt on that day. Buying Christmas hats holidays hays taking pictures. So when they pass you watch the video.
I vaccinated my 13-year-old cat, and she died 3 weeks later from kidney disease. I thought it was a coincidence, but after watching your other video, I’m no longer sure. I wish I had known better. 😞
Can anyone please tell me what dry dog food is safe 4 my dogs & wont cause cancer?
Visit the link for valuable advice:
veterinarysecrets.com/?s=dry+food
I just had to have my dog euthanized on March 20th I had him for 10 years and I'm broken hearted.
I'm sorry
That seems 2 b a link about which cat food 2 avoid,im asking about a good dog food 4 my dog, especially dry dog food
I use the Kirkland grain-free dry dog foods at Costco and sprinkle Dr. Andrews' canine vitamin powder on top and mix it up. Very good ingredients and not crazy expensive. Also, give them good water if you can. And research natural remedies for humans and pets. And avoid vaccines.
When people pass, I'm really not concerned. When one of my dogs go, I'm destroyed. I really have no attraction to humans in general. Animals are REAL and people for the most part are PLASTIC that is, except for Dr. Jones. He's the best.
