Will my pet be young, healthy, and free from the suffering of their final days?

“"They were all happy and I saw them in many different places like the sea side or a garden. My pet cat Sammy who had lost his tail when he was young was there too and his tail was grown back! Family who had been ill were well and happy."”3:11

“Well, on the other side, nobody here, even your animals don't have any more sickness. They're healthy and happy and young again, and I was able to see them. I didn't get a chance to play with them, but I was able to see them, and they, your animals, they keep them in these beautiful meadows where they play with each other.”18:04

“So our pets do go to heaven, and they're young again, they're not sick, they're not suffering, they're running the fields and the prairies and having a wonderful time.”8:47

“When we're in pain and when we're grieving, the one thing that we want to know is, are they okay? Are they still with us? Do they blame me for not medicating every time for missing that vet appointment? And when the animals started to share messages with me that only they would know, and I could feel the grief literally lift, it's like the room got lighter. The animals do not have those words in their vocabulary. Guilt, blame, those are human concepts. Your beloved cat or dog is still alive and well in”0:03

“So, um, then I see this this beautiful landscape, and the colors are unbelievable, and there's there's the grass was singing, and and and there were these beautiful flowers and trees and butterflies and birds and cats and dogs running all over the place. And all of the cats and dogs we had had who had passed were all there to greet me. So if you're if you're a fur parent, don't worry, they will be there. They're wait, you know, they're having a ball over there, you know. And especially if they died of old age, you know, they, they're running around like they're, you know, a year old, and they're just, they're just playing and just having a blast.”14:01

“Yes, yes, yes. I actually had a a death watch experience or a shared death experience when one of my cats died. I saw her in my mind's eye, I saw her cross over into the light and being welcomed into some spirits' arms, and it was a great relief to me. I was bawling my eyes out, I loved my cat dearly, but I knew she was in cat heaven somewhere. And there have been other stories, particularly children of encountering beloved pets when they're on the other side, that their beloved pets are welcoming and their deceased pets are welcoming them. And yes, I absolutely am convinced there's some sort of heavenly realm out there for our our loved pets too. That's a personal opinion. That's not an IONS policy, that's my personal.”42:15

“Most of us have had pets throughout our lives. They were our friends, companions who we cherished in life. Our little fur babies, our children. They gave us joy and happiness and asked nothing in return but to be loved. Do animals have spirits and do they go on after death? Some claim they do and have been reunited with them after having a near-death experience. The following stories are from those personal experiences. Morgan A's experience saved by I had been going through some hard times financially and at that time I was just”0:00

“And I, I know this because my guide showed me two cats that I had when I was growing up. We got these little kittens when they were weeks old and we had them for probably 20, 18, 20 years, and I spent most of my childhood with them. So I was just elated to see, to see them on the other side. That they actually do transition just like we do. So God gave them souls, that they're with us forever when we get back to the other side.”13:07

“And when I was there seeing them, they were happy; they were young again and full of life. And that's something that God gave all of us. He created these beautiful animals that are our companions for eternity.”4:51

“One thing I still had with me was my 20 yr old cat who had experienced his own death experience right after mine (which seemed ironic).”22:52

“reaction, but she was kind of like, "Oh." And then I didn't shed a tear because it felt like there was a completion of life. And I got the memo and it was this really beautiful moment that I had with my cat as he was passing. And that was probably the most spiritual thing that I had in my childhood. I think a lot because anything that was not religious through the lens of Christianity was really dimmed down. Although that's not true. I had a couple experiences where people in my youth would come to me when they felt”1:19

“They looked healthy and happy.”9:33

“Did he look, uh, the same as when he had died, or did he? Look younger to you? Yeah, he looked younger, and, uh, he seemed completely well and happy. Happy? Yeah, very happy.”3:05

“All of my dead cats came to see me, and they were having a ball.”5:59

“These are really just, really neat parts of a near-death experience, and it's not just humans, not just their prior human loved ones. We have a large series of people that encounter deceased pets, and again, joyous reunions. Even if the pet or the human died at a very advanced age of a disfiguring accident or illness, they're essentially always picture-perfect health in the afterlife.”9:35

“He was so happy and healthy.”3:50
