Coping with Grief: Dog Passing Quotes and How They Provide Comfort

Our furry friends give us unconditional love and affection, lifting our hearts and spirits and becoming cherished members of our family. 

So, when we have to say goodbye to them, it can be an incredibly emotional experience. Such grief can also cause severe psychological distress.  

We understand healing doesn’t come easy, but Cuddle Clones can help ease the pain of separation by giving you a tangible reminder of your pet. 

From custom plushies that replicate your dog in near likeness to pajamas, golf headcovers, blankets, mugs, and socks, our products help evoke a sense of closeness and companionship with your pet long after it has crossed the rainbow bridge. 

In these trying times, when you feel you cannot express the sheer magnitude of your loss, dog death quotes could also help you put your feelings into words. 

Famous Dog Loss Quotes

Words can’t take away the pain, but they can bring solace in our lives — as they have for those who’ve experienced the loss before us. These comforting quotes about dogs passing, for example, help us understand the relationship we share with our fur buddies and how their loss is very much a part of the normal cycle of life.

Quotes About Dogs Passing from Literature and Hollywood

Pets rarely outlive us, which is a shame considering the value they bring to the lives of those they grace with their presence. This feeling is universal, and this lovely list of dog passing quotes from the rich and famous encapsulates just that. 

• “It’s just the most amazing thing to love a dog, isn’t it? It makes our relationships with people seem as boring as a bowl of oatmeal.” — John Grogan, Marley and Me

• “There is sorrow enough in the natural way / From men and women to fill our day; / And when we are certain of sorrow in store, / Why do we always arrange for more?” — Rudyard Kipling, “The Power of the Dog”

• “Dogs are not our whole life, but they make our lives whole.” — Roger Caras 

• “There’s such beauty in the hard honesty of that, in accepting and giving love while always aware it comes with an unbearable price.

Empathetic Dog Death Quotes

Dogs are not just animals; they’re our companions through thick and thin. They touch our lives deeply with their love, attention, and affection—plus, just petting them can reduce stress levels! Paw-renting a dog sends the body into something of a relaxed state, but they also bring unimaginable grief when they pass away.

If you or a loved one has bid adieu to their four-legged friend, I hope these dog loss quotes make it a little easier to let them go…to the other side of the rainbow bridge. 

• “If there are no dogs in Heaven, then when I die, I want to go where they went.” — Will Roger

• "If having a soul means being able to feel love and loyalty and gratitude, then animals are better off than a lot of humans." – James Herriot

• “I guess you don’t really own a dog, you rent them, and you have to be thankful that you had a long lease.” – Joe Garagiola

• “What we have once enjoyed we can never lose; All that we love deeply becomes a part of us.” – Helen Keller 

• “We cannot tell each other about it. It is the secret signature of each soul, the incommunicable and unappeasable want, the thing we desired before we met our wives or made our friends or chose our work, and which we shall still desire on our deathbeds, when the mind no longer knows wife or friend or work. While we are, this is. If we lose this, we lose all.” — C.S. Lewis, The Problem of Pain
