Our Story
We started Pet Loss Community in 2021 after seeing just how isolated and alone pet parents across the country feel after losing a pet. ​​ Losing a pet is devastating, yet so many pet parents feel isolated as they process this grief.  ​ We're determined to change that. We started as two vets and a psychologist with a vision of becoming the go-to place for support for pet parents hurting from pet loss grief across the country... ...Now we have a team comprised of Licensed Social Workers with training and special interest in supporting the humans that love and care for pets and we are helping pet parents across the globe. If you have lost a pet or are anticipating this loss in the future, we would be honored if you would join us in this community. We are here to show you that you are never alone.
