What happens when a dog loses someone they love?

Whether it’s the death of a human family member, the loss of another pet, or a major change in the home, many dogs seem different afterward. They may eat less, sleep more, search familiar places, or simply become quieter than before.

But are they actually grieving?

In this episode of The Recall Room, we explore what science can—and can’t—tell us about grief in dogs. We’ll look at the research behind behavioral changes after loss, the emotional lives of dogs, and why this question is more complex than it first appears.

Because understanding grief isn’t just about knowing what dogs feel.

It’s about learning how deeply our lives become intertwined with theirs.
