Pets grieve too. When a companion animal or a person they loved is gone, many pets feel the change deeply, and the signs are often quieter than we expect.
The signs owners often miss
Grief in pets rarely looks dramatic. It shows up in the small things: a dip in appetite, sleeping more or less than usual, pacing, searching the house, or simply seeming flat and less interested in play. Because these changes creep in slowly, they’re easy to put down to age or weather rather than loss.
Gentle ways to support them
Routine is deeply reassuring to a grieving pet. Keep mealtimes, walks and bedtime steady, offer plenty of quiet company, and let them set the pace for affection. Our Grief Relief Oil was blended to help support pets through these tender weeks, offering a little steadiness as they adjust.
When to reach out
Grief usually softens with time and gentle support. If low appetite, lethargy or changed behaviour lingers or worsens, it’s worth a check with your vet to rule out anything physical. Emotional support and veterinary care go hand in hand, never one instead of the other.
