How can I help my dog who is grieving?

Answer by  DesertRat (699)

Keep the dog comfortable and well fed, even though the dog may not want to eat much. Try to create recreation that fits the dog's likes.

Give him lots of love and attention, and maybe a few extra treats. Extra walks, runs, or other exercise may help him focus on something else. A new toy or other distraction is good too.

Spend more time with the dog, and play with him/her more. Just like humans, they get lonely and need someone--dogs are pack animals, after all. Maybe a doggie day care would be good if you are working all day, or someone to come in and spend time with the dog. Or you take it with you!
