Grieving for the loss of a pet can be a sad and a difficult experience.  We often hear that friends, family members or colleagues don’t quite understand the upset that losing a pet can bring, and grieving for a pet can be a very lonely experience.

If you have lost, or are facing saying goodbye to, a much loved pet and need somebody to talk to The Blue Cross charity runs a Pet Bereavement Support Service which can be contacted on 0800 096 6606 every day from 8.30am – 8.30pm.  They know that sometimes it helps to share these feelings with someone who knows from personal experience how distressing pet loss can be, and who will listen with compassion and without judgement.
