Pet Loss Support Group
At DCES, we understand the depth of the grief of losing a pet and are here to provide you with a supportive community. Our Pet Loss Support Group meets virtually 4 times a year, offering a 4-week program dedicated to honoring your pet’s memory and navigating the journey of grief. Guided by our Licensed Veterinary Social Worker, Emmaly, these meetings provide a non-judgmental space to share memories, express feelings, and find comfort alongside others who understand. Participants will gain healthy coping strategies, guided activities to process their loss, and the support of a compassionate community. If you are interested in joining, please fill out our questionnaire to be considered for the next session.
