  • Pet loss.
    It will affect all pet parents at some point in their life. It is the hardest part of having a furry family member. Sometimes losing a pet can even be more difficult than losing a human companion.
    This webinar was filmed right after losing my heart dog, Finn. I felt it was necessary to help pet parents learn that grieving over the loss of our furry companions is an important step to healing our broken hearts.
    In this webinar, you will learn about:
    - The different stages of grief
    - Exercises to help you process your grief in a healthy way
    - Where to find support if you're feeling alone
    - Ways to remember and memorialize our loved ones
    This is a sensitive and very important topic. We hope you find it helpful in whatever place you're in, whether it is grieving for the loss of your pet or preparing for the possible end of life situation with your beloved pet.
    If you want to make sure that you're doing all you can for your next pets and current pets, make sure to watch our free masterclass: • How To Find The Root C...

    ABOUT Dr. Katie Woodley - The Natural Pet Doctor
    =====
    I am a small animal veterinarian who developed a passion for natural medicine while I was living in New Zealand. My vet career was lucky enough to begin in the beautiful country of New Zealand. I was able to see how living off the land by growing our own vegetables and raising our own animals was the way to live the healthiest versions of ourselves. My pets were lucky to have lots of open space to run around in, and we were always at the beach or the river.
    When we moved back to the States five years ago, my husband unfortunately developed an autoimmune disease. As we researched natural medicine options for him to avoid the horrible side effects of the treatment options his doctors were providing him, I realized that I was doing a disservice to my animal patients by not offering these holistic options to them. I began down the integrative medicine route, and I have never been happier. Through nutrition, acupuncture, herbal medicine, essential oils, and supplements, every animal can achieve optimal health or feel their best even when they have a chronic illness or disease like cancer. I currently have my certification in acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine, and I am continuously learning about the other natural modalities and growing my knowledge base every day!
    I started this business to provide pet owners with more resources for natural medicine advice and care, because we need to increase awareness of how amazing natural medicine truly is! My mission is to ensure that all pet parents have access to herbal medicine, supplementation and nutritional advice throughout their pet's lifetime. One of my greatest joys is the opportunity to collaborate with both pet parents and other veterinary professionals to ensure access to all available integrative options for pet health care.

      I lost my chihuahua Kirby on Wednesday. He was only 7. He seemed fine. I went out to meet a friend in the morning and after 30 minutes his health started deteriorating. I had a guest staying over and he was trying to reach me for over an hour and I had my phone on silent mode. Those messages killed me. When I came home he was already dead. It was just me and Kirby. I can’t stop crying. I’m not leaving the house. It hurts so much and I feel so guilty.

    I am 60 years old and never in my life have I experienced this kind of pain. My little Sophie was 12 years old when I found out there was no way she would get better. We were never apart not even for one day. I am absolutely devastated and just don’t feel my life will ever be the same. I hate being in my own home cause everything reminds me of her. When I leave for the day and get back home I am just bawling when I open the door cause she isn’t there. This is for sure the worst pain I have ever felt. I miss her so much 😭😭

    After a 4 month battle with a brain tumor, a 2 week battle of liver failure, and $45k later, I had to let my best friend go yesterday. Fitz was an almost 10 year old GSD and my true best friend. He got me through my divorce 4 years ago and a year and a half ago he helped me find my forever love. He fought hard and we did everything we possibly could for him.
    I’m truly devastated and heart broken, but I’m also happy and at peace. He’s not in pain and he’s no longer struggling. I’m happy knowing everything we did together over the last 10 years. It’s so hard but so relieving knowing he is running free and healthy in doggy heaven

      I so feel your pain and it is painful as I also am for the first time without a pug in over 22 years and my black pug transformed at just 6 -a little over 3 months ago so our timing is the same if you were freshly posting! My pug was born unable to walk so the amount of care that we were so privileged to give him was so rewarding and he was so unique and it is so intensely challenging as he was super healthy and now I am at the end of a major chapter as I have been taking care of pugs who have had cancer and my first who lived until almost 20 and was blind and deaf for almost 7 years if his life.and my first rescue who was in hospice. Then my last who I am grieving now as he passed as I was going through certification for reiki and he had passed away peacefully out of the blue during what was meant to be a happy experience. I don’t really know who I am right now and I so relate to how you are all feeling!

    I am so heartbroken over the loss of my sooo beloved Jack Russel, October 17th, 2021. Gave me 17 years of unconditional love, friendship, companionship and adventure. The pain is bitter and so are the beautiful, sweet memories. Had him since he was 6 weeks old, he was my baby. What unconditional love and protection I got from him, but not from family nor two now ex husbands. The house is deadfully quiet. I hear and feel him everywhere. I miss his tiny, warm body next to me, when we hugged, (all the time) his playfulness, and the long trips we took by car and plane; he went everywhere with me. Even having his ashes, I am just inconsolable. I miss him so much and have fallen into depression. I know I am far from being the only one that this happens too, but it hurts so much. I wish I could meet him again in another realm, in another... this time eternal reality. I will love you forever my beloved Camilo🖤🙏🌈🐕

Still I hurt so bad from Bullet it took me over 10 years to get another dog, a Cocker Spaniel which was stolen from my home. Another heartbteak, he was still a baby, and absolutely adorable. Another 8 years before I got Camilo. I now am winding down in years, and I just cannot see myself going thru another loss as such... It is too painful, but who knows. In the meantime, I try to remember the lifetime we had together, and the amazing years of living, traveling the world and the joy and love he provided to all he met.

    I'm so grateful for this video and that I'm seeing others feeling what I'm going through too. I'm 68 and I got my sweet cat 18 years ago. She got sick and passed away in 8 days...I knew there was nothing I could do to save her, so I gave her lots of love and tender care until she took her last breath. Now, it's so quiet, empty and utterly lonely...and even though I still feel her presence lying next to me, or following me into the bathroom or kitchen, and I habitually each out to look at her or to pet her . . .she's not there. When this happens, it feels like she's just taken that final breath all over again...and this happens at least 2 dozen times a day (and similar at night). No more purring me to sleep, no more meows to greet me in the mornings or when I return home. Just the devastatingly empty Black Hole of pain. I miss her so much.

    I can’t bear the pain I feel right now. (I am a 76 year old childless sole survivor of my family of eight.) I took my 2 dogs for a walk in a shaded park on Sunday. We were out for about an hour, not unusual for our daily jaunts. My little shitzu, Oliver, 8 years old; seemed to be fine. It was 92 degrees out. When we got home, Oliver was panting more heavily than usual. My other dog, a mutt named Pepper, was her usual peppy self. Oliver also was producing slimey saliva. I wanted to take him to a vet, but they were closed on Sunday. He lay resting on the cool kitchen floor when I went to bed. On Monday he was lethargic and I noticed his backside was producing spots of red diarhea. I took him to the vet at 9 a.m. but they were closed until noon. I brought him home and he was lying behind my chair as I ate breakfast. When I finished and went to check up on him he was lying perfectly still with his eyes open. He had just died, still warm to the touch. I hadn’t realized the situation was so severe. Now I cannot cope with the incredible guilt of having caused the death of my darling little doggy thru my neglect. I feel like my bad judgment stole years from his life. I hate myself for what I let happen. I feel so guilty, I don’t know what to do.

    I lost my baby boy Syrius this morning. He was 16. The best Chihuahua and the best friend anyone could ask for. He loved to talk and give sass. He was always full of energy and life. Loved to cuddle and loved his toys. He especially loved his morning walks with my partner who also loved him too.
    I have never felt an emotional pain like this before. All I want to do is smell his clothes and curl up in his blankets.
    He rapidly declined after having been put on new medications at the vet. I feel responsible for not trusting his instincts when he tried to refuse the pills and he even stopped eating near the end. I don't know if it was the medicine but I do hope others trust the bond they have with their babies and push back against directions that reduce their pet's quality of life.
    I can't help but think if I discontinued the medicine immediately he would not have endured the last three weeks of suffering and would be with us this evening.
    The pain from this loss is gutteral and will last a lifetime. To everyone that experiences a loss, you are absolutely not alone. I'm not sure when this will start to get better but we will always have the wonderful memories of the friends we lost.
    I love you forever and always, Syrius. You chose me when you were born and I will never forgot all of the joy you brought into my life. I will painfully miss you and cannot wait to one day see you again.

This dog was my constant partner and she brought me such joy. I know I have to accept that her life had to end, but learning to live with this big empty hole is hard as hell.

      l was feeling the same way, except l live in Seattle so we took a lot of walks in the rain. 🙂 I have been forcing myself to go to the parks and places we walked- but it is so painful. l feel like l’m not really there. l walk slowly and sometimes it feels like l have forgotten how to walk. l miss her so much! l don’t even like walking but l make myself.
      l pretty much always cry, sometimes for most of the walk. l was thinking today that when l see other people, strangers, without a dog, l think “Where is their dog?” . l don’t even know if they had one, or have one. When l see other people walking their dogs l’m just numb. l just think “Huh.”
      But l want to become as good a person as my dog was a living being. She was so good! So l try to get better, so she will be proud of me.

    I lost my 13 year old Lola four days ago and today is my first day back at work, I woke up crying thinking of times I was impatient with her, times I was on my phone and could have been spending time with her, how could I have been so negligent? How could I have let those days slip by, I have spent so much time with her, I always assumed I had so much more. She was feeling funny one night, didn’t eat her dinner, I thought no big deal, she’ll eat in the morning. I wake up to her struggling to breathe on the bed, I ran her to the emergency vet and they told me it was time. This grief has absolutely consumed me, I don’t know how I will get through work today. I know she would want me to, I know she would want me to remember years of glorious love together. My mind keeps shifting to the ways I could have been better for her, but I know that is no way to live. Reading the comments to this and knowing my feelings are valid and normal is so comforting. I will work so hard to be strong without you my Lola, I will miss you forever. I am sending so much love to those who are going through the same, this is the toughest experience I have ever gone through but we have to keep fighting for our angel babies.

    Thank you SO MUCH for making this video. I got Felix for my son. He wanted a puppy, but his father didn't like dogs, so when his father asked for a divorce and I moved out of the house Jo grew up in, and got my own house, we went and picked out a puppy for Jo. Jo named him Felix, and Felix helped Jo and I heal from the divorce, he made the three of us a family, where before we were two lost souls. Felix helped me and Jo through Junior high school, then high school, then college. Felix helped me through the loss of my father, and last year, my mother. Like Finn, he had a brain tumor, and we had to humanely euthanize our best friend of 17 years on June 15th, 2023. We went for a walk with Felix down to the lake where he loved to go swimming, then the awesome veterinarian he'd had his whole life helped usher him into the next one. The initial relief that he was no longer suffering, was replaced pretty quickly with the total devastating loss of his presence in this world. I am wrecked, as I'm sure my son must be. I am having trouble focusing at work, I feel no joy, and am wishing I could go with him. I am staying on this earth for my son. Felix didn't make a lot of noise, he was a quiet dog, but he gave off this positive vibe. The "quiet house" is real, it's huge.

    I'm so devastated loosing my 11.5 year old cat Kutush last month. Vet was not good. Carelessly treated him.
    He was diagnosed with stage 3 ckd. We had to euthanize him after 2 months cause he was having difficulty breathing without oxygen. He was heavily breathing from the beginning but vet said seeing the low quality xray that he has no problem with his lungs and heart. Even when he was open mouth breathing, vet said his trachea is curved, but nothing about the lungs. Kutush's liver was enlarged, but vet said at first that his colon is enlarged. After a month he said it's not colon, it's his spleen. That whole 2 months was so traumatic for me. I was sensing that the vet wasn’t properly guiding me with his problems and medicines. I was in the dark. I was scared to change this vet in Kutush's serious condition. Vet facility is not very good in Bangladesh. At the last moment I changed vet. But that was already too late. I can never forgive myself for my mistake of not taking the right decision. I was so stressed about that vet. I went to some other vets to consult, but I don't know why I couldn’t trust them and why I didn’t have the courage to change the vet. My friend who studied veterinary she suggested this vet and said he was good. I trusted her.
    I was away from Kutush for last 2 years. I Went to study abroad. It was scary for me to leave him behind. But I visited him twice a year. My sister was in charge. But she ignored some clear symptoms few months before I returned home permanently. Even my parents didn’t inform me. I'm very angry on my sister because of this. I don’t know if I can ever forgive her.
    Kutush was my life. I loved him so much. He was my no. 1 priority always. Among bad animal treatment facility here, I raised Kutush very carefully for 9 years. I don’t know why all those mistakes happened in the most crucial time of his life.
    I'm having hard time to accept that he is no more and he had to go through those terrible suffering.
    I have no friend or relative who has a pet and will Understand my pain. There is no community here to share my grief with. I'm in a terrible mental condition right now. The grief comes and goes. I feel alone and scared. I couldn’t do any of my personal work for the past 3 months from the time of his diagnosis. Yet can't.

We had to do what was best for our buddy. My husband and I are in our late 60’s. He was the last one who needed us and that we cared for. We feel so lost, and miss him. He was a little character that made us enjoy life.

He had stage 4 kidney they told me that he wouldn't live past October 2021. My beautiful cat Marty is here with me another fourteen months. I did everything that I could do for him Sub-Q fluids nausea medications special KD food kidney support gold CBD oil and vitamin B12 he did everything I asked ask of him. He was my best friend he was my PTSD support cat we're together most all the time. I used to tell him he was my very heart.

    My fur baby boy Jimmy died last year on the 30th of December 2020 at the vet hospital. He's 13 years old. It was so tragic and traumatic to see him die. He brought so much happiness into our life but to watch him die at the hospital devastating and painful. Today's his birthday would have turned 14.

    I'm grieving for my 11 year old lab Winston who passed on Monday afternoon. He was my pal for 11 years. He was always by my side. I am devastated by this loss. I feel paralyzed. Many tears and sobbing. I feel such a profound and overwhelming loss.

    My buddy boy. My baby. My best Friend Franklin passed away yesterday. It was sudden and he was 12. I am completely shattered. I lost my 20 year old Jack Russel 2 years ago, and now I own no dogs at all. It’s awful. It’s devastating. I don’t even know what to do. I feel this pain so deep.

    When I was a young adult and had two boys who were from the same litter, and one died, I didn't think to let his brother see him. BIG MISTAKE. He looked for him every time he went out. That heartbreaking lesson taught me that when I have to give one of my furry kids back to the Lord, they ALL go to the final appointment to say goodbye and see it happen. It's hard enough losing one without dealing with the remaining ones looking for their beloved mates. Always do this. Believe me, the only thing worse than the crushing grief of loss is watching the baby you have left look for his or her best friend who is never coming home from the vet's again. Time doesn't heal this hurt, but eventually, your tears will lessen. God bless all the pet parents hurting over this tremendous loss. Just lost a truly special girl yesterday. It never gets easier, but the love and laughter they give makes it worth the pain of losing them. Can't imagine life without furry kids!

    Thank you… it’s almost 4 months since I lost my beloved Benjy of 13 years. It breaks my heart coming home and not seeing him happy jumping to greet me at the door. His brother was barking and waiting. Took sometime but he is getting better now. Our therapy walks and car rides seems to help him.
    I am going through this grief alone. Not all understand pet loss. A family lost her pet almost 10 years ago and she forgot the grief she went through. Turns out she judged me for being “unstable” grieving the loss of my beloved friend…

    It’s been 28 days today since our Vivi passed on her own terms in our home with my husband and I by her side. She passed of kidney disease within two months after finding out of her diagnosis. She was with us since 10 weeks young and passed at 11 years and 4 months old. She was here for everything including the birth of her two human brothers. She was their very best friend. We all miss her and what you say about the silence in the home after a dog has passed is something we are really feeling. Her absence in our home is greatly felt. Our sweet Violet aka Vivi, we love you. 💜🐾🪽

    I just lost my soul dog, Chance (chancey pants, the banana). He lived a really good and strong year after receiving a pretty bad prognosis, and that was because of things I did to help him. We used turkey tail mushroom, CBD oil, yunnan baiyao and I switched him to farmers dog food. I am a an empty mess right now. My vet said Chance has shown them more care options that they will now use in those scenarios where there are no other treatment options and I am so proud that he gets to help others. Thanks for this video. It’s still helping people.

    I loved my little girl Millie so much. Though we have had many pets thru our lives & all were special to us in different ways I guess time heals. Millie passed 4 months ago. Her passing was not a peaceful event like one hopes. Millie had a very rare kidney sarcoma. It was diagnosed 6 months prior to her death It was inoperable, aggressive & grew large in her tummy. She was a chihuahua mix.The sadness in her eyes told me time was short. The day came I dreaded & because Millie had dramatic weight loss the anaesthetic the vet gave was excruciatingly painful for her. The examination prior was too as when the vet felt & tried to determine the size of the tumour it hurt her so much. Then the final injection came & the lights went out in her eyes. I felt or at least I wished I could die myself. We both loved her so much & saved her from an awful life, she gave us so much love & helped my husband & I through so much, being made redundant, my husbands diagnosis of kennedys disease & mtx prostate cancer. Now I feel totally lost & alone. Even though we got 2 new puppies after her passing it did not heal the loss. I miss her everyday.

    Thank you for sharing. You have no idea what this means to my wife and I. Everything you discussed validated what we are feeling and going through. We had to put down our little boy yesterday after a long bout with anal tumor cancer. We gave Vinnie everything that could possibly be done. Surgery, chemo, meds, special diet. Nothing could stop this terrible illness from taking our little boys life. The emotional pain from losing him is excruciating. My wife is doing better today but I'm feeling like life has no meaning. I haven't eaten in 2 days and have no desire to. The uncontrollable sobbing is nothing I have ever experienced. Everywhere I look I see our little boy although he is gone. I can't see life without him.. please pain, stop..

      I'm so sorry for your loss and your pain. I just had to do the same with my beloved little Minni 4 days ago, after a four year battle with Cushings Disease. Like y'all I did everything I absolutely could do to slow the progression of that cursed disease and keep her feeling good enough to enjoy her little life. I was focused on her so much during these years that I was mostly unaware of how traumatized I was as each sign of it's progression presented itself and a sense of dread was building. I feel it now. I also didn't realize how much her medicine schedule and needs had slowly and truly shaped my life and my days. I didn't mind though--but now that schedule is still with me in habit, but she is not. Like you I expect to see her everywhere. It's like a hundred times a day I have to remember she's gone.
      Not only can I not see life without her, I don't want to.
      I know that while we will always feel the pain of this loss, the other feelings are temporary and a symptom of the shock and even denial stage of the grief. That's what I hope you realize too. Your appetite will return, you will begin to enjoy your life again when you heal, and you will be able to smile and laugh over the good memories and the blessings he brought for which you are grateful. For now, there's nothing to be done for this, but feel it and share your feelings with trusted loved ones as much as you need to. God bless you and your wife.

      @@Paisleyposey I'm so sorry you have endured this as well. It is unbelievable to me the range of emotions of losing our little boy Vinnie has brought up. It has been a month now and I still am surprised how I expect to see him around the corner waiting for me as I get out of the shower. There are a million little incidences like that daily. Mornings and going to bed are the hardest. The sobbing has turned into a pervasive sadness. Thank you for taking the time to respond at length. I hope you find peace soon.

      @@raymondmcdonald7085 You are so right, Raymond. Nights and mornings are the hardest. It's only been 3 days for me---and I look for her everywhere, in all of her usual spots. The empty spot at the foot of the bed where she slept, her bottle of meds that I gave her twice a day---all of her cans of food, her toys--it's unbearable. I've been through this before, years ago---but it never gets easier. It's a fresh shredding of our heart. My thoughts are constantly on seeing her again someday. Hang in there--as I'm trying to do. At least we are not alone--many others understand exactly what we are feeling.
