Grief Support for Veterinary Hospitals
As a veterinary professional, you’re not only caring for animals but also for the humans who love them. Help Texts makes it easy for you to extend care beyond the clinic, with clinically sound grief support delivered to bereaved pet owners, all year long.
With many years' experience supporting people after a human death, Help Texts partnered with palliative care veterinarians and grief experts to craft compassionate, evidence-based text messages to help pet owners navigate the emotional aftermath of loss. Whether the loss was sudden or expected, we personalize supportive text messages based on:
- Type of pet (dog, cat, bird, horse, etc.)
- Cause of death (illness, accident, euthanasia, etc.)
- Key dates (adoption anniversaries, birthdays, etc.)
As veterinary professionals, you chose this field because you care deeply about animals and the people who love them. Help Texts for Pet Loss is an extension of that same compassion you show every day in your practice.

We wanted to improve the support offered to families following a patient's death, and discovered Help Texts. Help Texts will provide many more personalized touches for families who choose this service during the first year of bereavement than have ever been possible with past efforts. These encouraging and supportive texts are a great complement to the support resources we already have in place.

My friend's daughter just died unexpectedly. Even though I work in traumatic grief and death, this is one time I needed guidance. The Help Texts messaging program is exactly what I needed, and has helped me to support my friend. This is a game changer for helping us to help others as they grieve.

Help Texts subscriptions truly are the gift that keeps on giving. I've seen first-hand how their thoughtful, timely texts to grievers (AND the great tips they send to friends and family) can absolutely transform the grief experience for people.

Breaking through every barrier to grief support
Sometimes, people question whether text messages can really make a difference in something as profound as grief. But the research is clear: text-based support cuts through traditional barriers to care—from geographic distance to language, stigma, or comfort level with technology or traditional therapy—making expert grief support accessible to everyone. With no waitlist.
