In times of grief and loss, finding a community that understands and supports your journey can make all the difference. We extend our heartfelt condolences for the pain you may be experiencing due to the loss of a beloved furry friend.

The OVC Pet Trust Pet Loss Support Resource Centre, developed by experts at the University of Guelph’s Ontario Veterinary College offers free, evidence-informed tools to navigate the grief of losing a beloved companion animal. This resource centre is among the first of its kind in North America and combines expertise with empathy to help people navigate the loss of a pet.
Ontario Pet Loss
This is a safe and nurturing space where individuals come together to share their stories, memories, and emotions surrounding the loss of a cherished pet. We recognize the unique bond you shared with your companions and understand that the pain of losing them can be profound. Our group aims to provide resources, coping strategies, and a supportive network to help you navigate the grieving process.
Animal Loss Support for Kids
The Ontario SPCA and Humane Society’s AnimalSmart™ program offers educational content to students to learn more about how to provide for our animals while showing them care, compassion and respect. During times of loss, we often find children seeking guidance and sharing their experiences with the passing of an animal.
