Dogs are not just animals or pets. They are members of a family. It can be traumatic to lose them.
It took me 2 years to finally get over the loss of my beloved dog, ruffy. Over the years, I have observed how dogs and humans share a deep relationship.
If you are just like me, who loves my dogs so much, then, this article is for you. I want to share the different prayers to say when your dog dies.
Have you also recently lost a dog? Firstly, I sympathize with you for that loss. It is not easy to lose something so valuable and loyal. However, let me share powerful prayers you can say on behalf of the dog’s soul.
Just like humans, we can say prayers for the souls of animals because they also travel into the afterlife.

By now, you must have been sure that the soul of your dog has finally crossed over into heaven. This should be more than 30 days since you lost your beloved dog.
If your dog recently died, then, this prayer is not for you. The reason is that you are sure if the soul has passed into heaven or not.
The prayer for a dog in heaven also strengthens the connection and bond you have with your dog. It is responsible for keeping your soul strong during moments of grief.
When you say this prayer, ensure you ask God to keep your dog comfortable. Since this creature was your pet while on earth, it will be lonely and might have to wait for you – no matter how long you live.
This is why you should also ask God to keep the dog safe, warm, and not lonely in heaven.
3) Short prayer for losing a dog
“Jesus, Prince of Peace, my dog is in need of peace in this ill-fated time. Please comfort my dog and take away their pain or fear. Please also bring peace to me during this time, Lord.
My heart is tired and prepared for grief. Please bring stillness to my soul. As I near this time of death may I be reminded of Your comforting hand placed on my heart.
In Your peace-loving name, Amen.”
