The purpose of this study was to explore and assess bereaved companion animal (CA) owners’ (N = 672) responses to a question about the decision to euthanize their animal. Content analysis revealed four major themes: grief without guilt (73%); euthanasia as appropriate decision, accompanied by guilt and/or ambivalence (22%); sole expression of guilt (6%); and veterinarian collaboration with decision (32%). Results suggest that most believe they made the right decision even though they experienced extremely high levels of grief. A smaller percentage of respondents were distraught with guilt, expressing low self-compassion, religious beliefs, and broken trust. Our findings corroborate the important relationship between veterinary staff and CA owners. Mental health clinicians, veterinarian, veterinary medical personnel should provide support and comfort to clients, especially when discussing and deciding upon euthanasia
