www.barkandwhiskers.com/2023-12-03-do-dogs-and-cats-grieveStory at-a-glance Behavioral changes are common in pets after another pet dies, particularly for affectionate behaviors — displayed by 74% of dogs and 78% of cats — and territorial behaviors, displayed by 60% of dogs and 63% of cats Dogs may also eat less or eat more slowly when a companion pet dies, while others sleep more Among cats, 43% vocalized more often while 32% increased the volume of their vocalizations, which could be a sign of anxiety in the animals Stress levels tend to be synchronized in dogs and their owners, so if you're feeling stressed over the loss of a pet, there's a good chance your dog may be, too One of the best ways to ease grief is to keep your daily routine as close to normal as possible; feed your pet at the same time as usual, go for your regular walks and build in time for extra affection and play My notes: When we have lost a furbaby, honestly, the others didn't notice. But we also made sure to keep the routine for the ones we still had even dealing with our own grief.

Yeah, some pets are very close so will become depressed.
