As a reaction to this sudden change in household dynamics, they may even frantically seek out the deceased pet. In many cases, the clinical symptoms of grief in pets will resemble separation anxiety.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-192099\" src=\"https:\/\/animalshelterz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Do-pets-get-sad-when-another-pet-dies.jpg\" alt=\"Do pets get sad when another pet dies?\" width=\"1366\" height=\"480\" srcset=\"https:\/\/animalshelterz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Do-pets-get-sad-when-another-pet-dies.jpg 1366w, https:\/\/animalshelterz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Do-pets-get-sad-when-another-pet-dies-300x105.jpg 300w, https:\/\/animalshelterz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Do-pets-get-sad-when-another-pet-dies-1024x360.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/animalshelterz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Do-pets-get-sad-when-another-pet-dies-768x270.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1366px) 100vw, 1366px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"is-it-ok-to-get-another-dog-after-one-dies\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_it_OK_to_get_another_dog_after_one_dies\"><\/span>Is it OK to get another dog after one dies?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>There is no way to say for certain when the time is right to get a new dog.\u00a0 Some people only wait days to weeks, possibly because they cannot bear to go long without a canine companion.

That process could take a week or two \u2013 or many months.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"do-dogs-get-sad-when-other-dogs-die\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Do_dogs_get_sad_when_other_dogs_die\"><\/span>Do dogs get sad when other dogs die?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Although it is not known how much dogs understand about death, it\u2019s clear that dogs can become extremely depressed after a companion dies.
