    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

      Thank you for sharing your journey and the life of your Fitz. Unfortunately, we had to say good buy to our GSD Finn in a similar way. I hope you found some comfort in this short video, and love that you are able to find some peace as well during this time. Sending you our healing thoughts and energy.

      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.

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 😭😭

    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.

She was only 6. We did everything together. She was the most beautiful cat I have ever seen. She was so chatty and playful. She is the only cat I've had who came when called, loved to be held, and snuggled with me wherever I was. She loved music and would sit with me on the piano bench whenever I played.

    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🖤🙏🌈🐕

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.

Last week, I took my very sick Carmel cat to the animal hospital and had to make the devastating decision to relieve him of his pain. It is heartbreaking.

We knew each other so well, I could easily read his body language when he needed something. I am so glad I am not alone. I miss him terribly. Our routines I am missing. Life is not the same anymore

    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.

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 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 relate to the story of Gus so much. I've had my dog Chewie since I was 23. He's been through so many of my heartbreaks, big moments, and moves with me. He has dementia and my vet and I have decided it is time for me to let him go. I'll be saying my goodbyes on Tuesday. I have my partner of 6 years to mourn with, but this is the hardest decision I have ever had to make and I am 35. I don't want to do it, but it is for him and not me, and I have to remember that. He is a rescue and was put up for adoption as a "senior" dog. I saved him and he saved me.

      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.

    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.

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.

    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.

    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!

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.

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.

    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, Dr. Woodley. RUclips guided me to you and I needed this so much. We are empty nesters who fill our lives with pets and foster dogs. My heart dog was a foster fail we picked up on the street as a stray in January of 2021. The rescue named him Burleigh which was such a fancy name for the scruffiest, saddest boy I’d ever met - secretly, we called him Bubby, bc it fit. They thought he was around 8 YO ‘ish. He had an untreated ear infection that made his head lopsided due to the swelling - same with his front, right paw. He was covered in mud, skinny and had a dazed look which we attributed to constant pain. On our drive home, which took about 45 minutes, he climbed from the back of my car to the front seat and tried to paw his way out through the windshield - making me realize he’d probably never been in a car. It was a wild ride to say the least and more than once I had to pull over and calm him down. Once we did the intake for the rescue we found out heartworms had trashed his lungs. He wasn’t healthy enough to undergo any anesthesia so we had to get him there - it took 6 moths to get him healthy enough to be neutered, and about a year for him to withstand hard kill treatment. Along the way he was on doxy/pred and at one time 13 meds twice a day. He was about 50 lbs but we found diapers and belly bands to fit and didn’t let it phase us when he still found a way to pee on anything he needed to along the way - something I never thought I’d be okay with, but it was Bubby. We finally met the milestone of hard kill treatment health and he made it through all three injections with flying colors - such a fighter, our Bubby. I believe he fought bc he had a reason, us, his pack - his Mom, Dad and two brothers - our rescue Great Pyrs; he and our cat, Suki, were frenemies, so I guess she counts too. We had two healthy ‘ish years with Bubs after that - he still needed meds, and an inhaler but compared to his past it was easy street! He was my shadow, keeping his eyes on me at all times. If I got up, he got up - if he was asleep and woke up, he searched the house to find me. He ended up deaf in both ears from all of the ear infections so we came up with a type of sign language so when he couldn’t hear me I’d use my hands in his peripheral vision so he’d know I was behind him or around him. He stayed in the bathroom while I showered, followed me into my closet and any small space and made it impossible to move freely, but i loved it. When I went to my closet or my makeup table he knew I was getting ready to leave and he’d get anxious, and close to me as possible. When i returned home he ran / hopped (he had the cutest run/trot bc of his lessened lung capacity) to get to me and he did the same every feeding as he was the third dog, he was fed last - hopping from both brother’s bowls, then to his space. He didn’t know how to play with toys or other dogs, maybe he did at one point but by the time we got him I think the streets took all the confidence and freedom of joy from him so his happy place was next to me, or enjoying anything yummy. The only time we saw him aggressive was with a foster who wanted to be close to me and with a friend’s labradoodle we kept for a weekend. As big as the doodle was, Bubby had no qualms about letting him know I was him Mom, and he better respect that. Bubby finally succumbed to the damage the heartworms, and because of heart failure and fear of fluid going into his lungs we had to let him go last Monday, 01.15.24. I had been sleeping on the floor with him since he could no longer get onto the bed and the Sunday morning before he left, I woke up to him not being next to me. I searched the house and couldn’t find him - thought I was losing my mind, that he actually disappeared. We have a doggie door and an enclosed courtyard that we leave open for the dogs to go when they need to - after waking my husband up to help me look we finally found him there, wedged between one of the big bamboo plants and the courtyard wall. In three years we’d never seen him go into the corner where the bamboo met, so I knew he was trying to tell me it’s time. I still don’t understand why dogs do that - are they hiding from us because they feel they are failing us and need to leave or are they trying to leave without seeing our sadness? I know that sounds like dogs think and communicate like us but I’ve heard so many stories of pets doing this so what else can it be but an effort to do something? I’d appreciate any thoughts, in the case that anyone has read this far - sorry, after watching this video and reading some of the comments I just opened a floodgate of thoughts and memories. My 6’5”husband had to squeeze himself into the small space and pick him up because he couldn’t move - we brought him inside, warmed him up and we went back to sleep on the floor. The last time he got up was to go drink water and right after he slide down onto the floor and didn’t move again on his own. We carried him to his bed and had a veterinary service come to our house to euthanize him - it was expensive but he’d spent so much time in vet offices that I wanted his last memory to be at home. The first attempt at sedation did not work, he would not close his eyes and relax - I feel guilty because I knew he couldn’t’ hear me so i laid next to him so he could see my face, trying to smile and tell him what a good boy he is, and it’s all going to be okay but he knew me too well, my tears were nonstop and as the sedative failed I got more anxious and he felt that, at one point, trying to get up but then falling again because of weakness. The vet gave him another dose - am i wrong for feeling angry that she didn’t gauge his weight and give him an amount that would work the first time? It made the transition so stressful bc he fought it, looked scared as if he knew he was leaving me and didn’t want to - of course, when I saw that in his eyes I panicked and got more upset. I’m so mad at myself for not staying calm and giving him peace to leave - I selfishly let myself go and that’s what he saw before he finally gave in to the sedative. I stayed next to him until I felt his last breath touch my face, and now I am shattered. It has been so soothing, though, to watch Dr. Woodley express the same reaction to loss and read all the comments and stories. I felt as if I didn’t want to be here without him - that I had no purpose if I didn’t have Bubby to take care of, make happy and sleep next to. I know this is temporary - we lost our mutual heart dog, my husband and I, in 2018, but this boy was only mine and he took part of me with him. It was only three years but the constant care, hope, successful health we achieved with him cemented our bond and hopefully erased all the years he was on the street, alone, unprotected and unloved. Thank you, again, Doc and fellow survivors of the perfect companions, for sharing and helping a sister in need today. Prayers, healing energy to you, and cheers to being the lottery winners of true love.

      I lost my dog Dave on Tuesday 2/13/24. I rescued him in 2009 from a shelter his name was Bear but to me it wasn't right. So I renamed him but most of the time I called him Bubby❤ I miss him so much already. I am 62 so I'm probably not going to get another dog. I have always had a dog all my life.

      Wow your story really hits home for me. The sedation part is exactly what happened with me yesterday when I had my 15 yo chihuahua Chloe put to sleep. It was absolutely awful. I feel as though I betrayed her loyalty and love. This is awful. The pain is too much.

      @@rjay7019 Hi - I love that we both had Bubbys ❤‍🩹 I rescued senior dogs - that's how I got Bubby - so please don't give up on adopting. I am 57 and after I lost Bubby, I had helped with a neighborhood stray that someone called 411 on, and I went online to see if I could find her picture to see if I could foster her, I did not see her picture but I did see a puppy that looked just like my Bubby, if I'd had him as a pup, so I rushed to the facility and adopted her immediately. It was like Bubby sent her to me because I was so broken by the loss of him. There is always another dog who, sometimes, will connect you to your loss strongly, or in another way that can't be explained but it heals your heart. We will never be fixed from the heartbreak of our "Bubbys" because they were one of a kind, but to put the love into another hopeless dog or cat does soothe the soul. Whatever you do, I'm so happy you have Dave's cat, and I hope Dave/Bubby and Burleigh/Bubby are running, playing and happy that we are thinking about them, every day.

      @@barkburton1 I know, that sits with me still. I see the spot on the floor where Bubby panicked and finally succumbed and it hurts my hurt on a regular basis, but, he was ready to go - it was either with us or in a cold spot, hidden behind the bamboo in our yard, which is where we found him the night before. Maybe it was selfish of us to pull him out of there and want to be with him, who knows, but it was impossible to leave him there and I just hope he understands. I hope he forgives me for needing to be with him. The pain is so awful, you're right, I hope you've let some of it go and realized, like I have, that he was a blessing to me and I was a blessing to him. I am eternally grateful and hope that I will see him someday, or feel him in an energetic field, don't care, just want to connect with him in any way. Today, I think of him, talk to him and hope that he knows how much he was loved and that, that one day we had to say good bye was just a blip in the many moments of joy.

    Made the difficult choice to have my beloved Shetland sheepdog (shasta) put to sleep this last Saturday. She was my best friend and companion. In the last 1.5 years I've lost my wife,son and brother.,so shasta was the only constant in life of late that helped keep me going.i know she's in a better pain-free place now..

      Please don’t blame yourself. When you were grieving the loss of your dad it’s hard to think straight and so easy to make mistakes. Im so sorry for the loss of your loved pet. I made a big mistake with my dog too because l was under so much stress and it might have contributed to her death. I’ve just hated myself for two months in a way l never knew that l could. l got a good therapist and she has helped a lot, and l turned to God because there was nobody else there for me. Please know that your pet forgives you. Because they are such loving creatures, that’s why we love them so much. ❤❤❤❤

    Thank you for making this video. My little man Raider, passed away five days ago of epileptic seizures. It broke my heart to watch him have them and I know the vet did what they could to make them stop, but they would not.
    I held his paw on the floor very first night at my house when I rescued him. He was just one year old; he was scared and howling. On his final day, I held his paw on the ground at the vet and cried as I kissed him goodbye.
    Raider was my best friend, my champion, my protector, and my hero. His big smiley face brought joy at all that met him.
    Thank you for making this video. It has truly helped me not feel alone. If there is anyway I can help this cause, please let me know.

    We've been nursing a 1-month old kitten. He has a special condition wherein he has no control over his front and rear legs (paralysis symptoms). Dragging his body, inability to move all legs. It has been our routine to provide him with the proper care, and lots of love and attention so that he can still live a long and happy life. I am so traumatized and devastated as we lost him yesterday due to a possible heart failure. I can still remember his eyes looking at me as he struggled to breathe. From time to time, tears will come out of my eyes. I feel so much pain, so drained and depressed. I can't stop but the blame on myself thinking that I should have done more to extend his life. 😭😭😭💔💔💔

    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.
