Humans cannot know for real what happens after our pets die. However, our essence can sense things that are beyond explanation.
There are subtle signs from the universe that points out anomalies that exist, and we do not know why.
We may be able to find an answer in the near future, but for now, let’s take a look at the signs and anomalies that answers the question, ‘Do our pets miss us when they die?’
Some Signs From Pets In The Afterlife?
As human beings, we aren’t certain about the afterlife.
Yet the ether that drives us knows it all.
Our inner knowing constantly nudges us to look at signs that appear in front of us when we lose a pet.
Everything in the material world has a soul, which we also know as ‘consciousness.’
It expands to the unknown after our physical bodies stop functioning indefinitely.
According to Sam Parnia, a practitioner of resuscitation medicine, he quotes, “The evidence we have so far is that human consciousness does not become annihilated.
It continues for a few hours after death, albeit in a hibernated state we cannot see from the outside.”
And this holds true, even for our beloved pets.
You may notice, soon after the death of the pet, that there is a strong feeling of them being around us.
That’s why, in many cultures, they dedicate at least 13 days for the grieving process in case someone they love dies because that’s the maximum it takes for a deceased soul to finally make it across the rainbow bridge.
If you get a specific smell or a sound that you can relate to a deceased pet, that’s a very subtle sign that our pet misses us even in the afterlife.
Below are some specific signs that can help you discover the answer to the question, ‘do our pets miss us when they die?’
Telepathy: According to an article from insidescience.org, telepathy is real.
The neural networks in our minds are interconnected with all that there is.
That’s how we communicate with animals, even when they are alive.
So, if your pet is in the afterlife, and you get a sudden thought of them either playing around or of the best memories you’ve had with them, just know that they miss you and are trying to communicate with you.
At times, telepathy from our furry friends can come through in the form of a sudden shiver, goosebump, or even a sneeze.
Our body and mind aren’t separate, so there will be a sign in your physical body, too, that can tell you that your pet misses you in their afterlife.
Certain Smells: Do you remember the smell of the shampoo you used to cleanse your beloved pet?
Do you smell it quite often even though the bottle was never used after you lost them?
Well, this is a clear indication that they are around and are missing you.
We do not carry our physical bodies to the ethereal realm; however, the sense of smell is one of the five important senses that we have.
It seems that every living being carries that scent, even after they pass because there has been a plethora of evidence where pet owners have said that they could smell their pet at various corners of the house, and in the garden, even after their death.
If you smell something that seems familiar to your deceased pet, you can be sure that they are out there and long for your company still.
Physical Touch: The skin is one of the largest organs of the body; hence, the sense of touch is one of the most sensitive ones that we possess.
Nobody carries their physical bodies to the afterlife; however, our consciousness also has a certain warmth to it which we can always feel when a beloved soul is around us.
After you lose a pet, and if their soul lingers around you for a while, they will surely give you a sign to let you know that they miss you in the afterlife.
You may at times feel an electrical charge run through your body when a soul is very close to you.
If they are right by your side, longing for you to acknowledge them in the afterlife, you may even feel them physically.
Sounds: Sound of the ringing of the deceased pet’s collar, a loud thud, the sound of someone running around, or even a favorite song of your pet are some of the most popular methods they use to communicate with us from the ethereal realm.
These are also some indications that the pet misses you and wants you to acknowledge their presence.
Dreams: On the most part, dreams are a by-product of our subconscious thinking.
For instance, if you’ve recently lost a pet, you may be consciously grieving; however, your subconscious is maybe playing with their memories.
Certain dreams are indications from the afterlife too.
If you dream of your pet in a situation that you never encountered with them in real life, that is a strong indication that they miss you.

Synchronicities: It isn’t very common for anyone to see specific synchroneities, such as repeating numbers.
Seeing repeating numbers such as 1:11 on the clock, or 222 on a license plate, etc., signifies that your pet longs for your attention in the afterlife.
Objects: The sudden falling of the same picture or a movement that you see in the corner of your eye are some other examples of messages from your deceased pet from the afterlife.
At times you may even find a coin or a toy that your furry friend loved to play with.
Through such activities, all they want to inform us is that they are still there and want you to be happy and loving even after their passing.
Written/Verbal Messages: You may be listening to a song, and a specific line catches your attention, or you come across a passage in the book you are reading.
These are vital messages that you must pay attention to. It’s a way in which our deceased pets try and send messages to us from the afterlife.
Do Deceased Pets Come Back To Heal Their Owners?
The simple answer to the question, ‘do deceased pets come back to heal their owners?’ is yes, they do.
An article from post-gazette mentions a lady who lost her beloved dog in January 2006.
The woman stated that she could feel the deceased dog run around the house, climb the steps, and at times she felt the paws of the four-legged friend of hers on her chest whenever she said, “Mumma’s home.”
There are many sources that we now find on the web that quote the same events soon after the death of their pets.
And more so often, it really calms them.
Scientists call this denial because they believe it is just how the mind copes with grief and loss.
But if you believe in love, faith, and hope, you may be sensitive enough to feel the ethereal world all around you.
Even if you consider it as the mind playing tricks, it still heals you, doesn’t it? And if it heals you, it means something!
Moreover, if we go back to the law of conservation of energy, matter can neither be created nor be destroyed.
This literally translates to energy never dying. It just changes forms. Hence, the concept of the afterlife, hence the concept of reincarnation, and so forth.
Yes, deceased pets come back to heal their owners in the form of messages, smells, actions, music, dreams, physical touch, and even synchronicities.
The signs that we seek are all around us. It depends on us how we perceive and react to it.
Will Our Pets Be Waiting For Us In The Afterlife?
The afterlife is what protects the spirit in us. It is the guiding force for our astral self that drives us to make choices.
An article from The Bark informs about a young seaman who experienced a Near Death Experience Research Foundation after a fall from a navy pier.
This is from research conducted by Near Death Experience Research Foundation, where the owner is said to meet his canine friend in a huge field of green grass.
The dog ran up to him, to greet him, as soon as he saw him there. He woke up soon after he heard someone say, “wake-up” repeatedly.
Such brief near-death encounters have been reported by numerous people about their pets, and most of the time, it is a happy encounter.
These people also reported the actions taking place in the operation theatre where their physical bodies lay unconscious, but their ethereal bodies were still at play.
Although science does not confirm the existence of the afterlife and if our pets await us after they die.
But there is another important upcoming branch of physics, known as Metaphysics, which explains the unexplained phenomenon by studying ‘photons’ and via quantum physics.
As per quantum physics, there IS an ‘other-side,’ and it is composed of everyone we may know or not know but who wait for us to receive us after we leave our physical bodies and enter the ethereal plane.
That is enough confirmation that our deceased pets await us on the other side.
Meanwhile, they stay with us and protect us till we are ready to enter the rainbow bridge and be one with the universe.
Final Words
Our consciousness never lies, and if we look deep within, we will be able to find all the answers to the mysteries of the afterlife too.
After you lose a pet, it’s not just you who grieves for them. It’s the same with them too.
The bonds that we make here on earth continue all through the afterlife, and the same is correct for a deceased pet too.
One cannot ignore the sensations we have when something unexplainable happens.
For instance, there is no logic behind precognitions, but people continue to have them via their dreams.
In the same way, there is no logic behind the fact that our pets miss us after they die, but deep in your heart, you know, they are still around, and they yearn for us in the afterlife too.
