It's an age-old question, and there's no perfect answer. While the Church does not teach "dog-matically" that our beloved animals will or will not be in Heaven, some think they will be, as the Scriptures describe animals at peace in the new creation. Join Fr. Chris Alar, MIC, as he shares both sides of the topic and gives thanks to God for the gift of our animal companions. Then be inspired by Canines for Christ, a healing ministry which connects therapy dogs with the infirm and homebound, with amazing results.
Watch Fr. Chris Alar, MIC, and the Marian Fathers and Brothers from the National Shrine of Divine Mercy on our new show Living Divine Mercy airing every Wednesday at 6:30pm EST on EWTN. Through teaching segments, Bible and St. Faustina Diary excerpts, as well as real-life examples of people who are living Divine Mercy in their lives, you will learn why Jesus said Divine Mercy is mankind's last hope of salvation! Episode 103: Do Pets Go To Heaven?

Fr. I do believe pets go to heaven. Their love is so intense and God is love. I can't imagine that He just discards them.

Yes, after adopting a house full of rescue pets including special needs, I know they have taught me so much. I definitely have made many sacrifices because their care comes first. In other words, I (we) are less selfish. I find it hard to believe that God would simply let their souls disintegrate instantly upon death. He created them. Why would he throw souls away? I don't believe that he would. 🐶 💕

Then shed go to her bed and sleep until i got home. My middle cat Beauty would wait at the top of the stairs until i got back. And my first just slept on me. ❤❤❤ i miss them so much❣️

Fr. Chris, thank you for this episode, Do Pets Go To Heaven? I highly appreciate everyone’s love for pets specially the dog. How I wish I could reciprocate the kindness and joy the dog has for the person’s he makes happy with. Honestly, I’m still working on my childhood trauma about dogs. I was 10 years when I was bitten by a street dog. I was injected 25 times for fear of getting the rabies. My friends advice me not to show my fear when I encounter a dog because he senses it. I’m doing my best but to touch him, I’m still so afraid. I love pets and hopefully the dogs, too. St. Francis of Assisi, please pray for me that I may overcome my fear and learn to love what God has created. God bless and prayers for you Fr. Chris, your team and everyone who contributed to make this good presentation.

Jesus prayed at Gethsemane for unity with all God Father has given to him. He himself told his disciples to stay in his love, stay at the vine for eternal life. When I had to decide on the euthanisation of my old cats and was desparate over weeks, if this was the right thing to do, I went to St. Francis chapel for advice and strengthening. Opening the bible, above gospel was shown, and in the old testament" I called you with your name, and you are mine ". It became clear to me that all we love keep connected to us. We inherit Heaven as long as we stay in Jesus' love. So will our pets, as long as we love them. Animals are innocent, this alone makes them candidates for paradise.

I have a tendency to lean to C. S. Lewis & Peter Kreeft. We know animals have sentient souls. It’s said all sentient souls return to their creator. If we are to gain the eternal reward, as Christ said. My fathers mansion has many rooms. It’s up to God whether he would reward us with the company of our best friends & pets. If they brought joy & solace to us here on earth, brought out the best in us, why wouldn’t God reward us with what brought us joy on earth in heaven. It’s his gift after all.

Yes, animals are a great blessing. They have helped me throughout my whole life. and I miss all of them in the past two years I have lost both of my pets one was a service dog that lost its owner and I took him in and changed my life. I used to talk to him about some of the things that hurt my heart people that I missed always grieving for as well as some of my grievous sins. through that experience and others in the past three or four years, I was able to go back to the church. I started thinking about that then I would take my dog outside and I would say my prayers as I was walking my dog.. he was a really good dog who is dedicated to me even upped his last day. Thank you God for sending me my sweet Dakota. now I am sick. I’ve always had sickness but now I have cancer so they’re hoping that I would be able to get another dog to help me through .

There are still countless MYSTERIES to be unlocked in heaven. If pets are in heaven, perhaps it is not revealed to us by any means, form or any Saint or Mystic, in order that the living strive for heaven out of pure love for God --- and not out of the motivation that we get to join our pets. This mystery benefits our soul and increases our merit and reward. Let us then HOPE that in God's boundless love and infinite mercy, our pets are all there in paradise waiting for all of us in the mansions which earthly eyes have not seen .... yet. Let us put then on the armor of God as we strive to win the battle for His glory while here on earth, -- and all things of the greatest consolation will follow in the realm of eternity.

I had to put my dear sweet black lab down ( lymphoma) and could not even watch you after you said dogs do n’ t have rational souls so they aren’t in heaven ! A devastating thought. That is the last thing I needed to hear. Gods ways are not our ways. And . and God knows how much I miss my dog my dog will be in heaven Amen!

Animals cannot have the beatific vision but maybe there is some level of Limbo where their souls can dwell. We just lost our old dog. Hope he is at peace.

Our Father who is in Heaven didn't forget where is His Son born and who welcome Him and who reject Him

I'm grateful. Animal testing is not dominion. An alpha wolf has dominion because he or she loves. We need hope not testing. All people need is prayer and love.

I follow St. Anselms argumentation: If Heaven is the greatest place thinkable and my pet would not be there, then at least I could "imagine" that it is in heaven. But "this" heaven (with the pet)would be greater than without my pet. Since heaven was per definition the greatest place thinkable, I would have a contradiction, since now I thought about a greater place (with my pet). Because of this logical contradiction, pets have to be in heaven.

You don't have to believe me because I have no way to prove it: I was accidentally poisoned and died - twice! On the other side I saw many dogs, and even my two boyhood dogs came to see me (and it was as if no time had passed). I was confused about this (because I had also heard that pets didn't pass on). I asked an Angel near me about this. His explanation was that God had given the gift of love to many of our pets - specifically unconditional love - and as a result, they are called into Heaven to live on. You don't have to believe me, but I know what I saw & heard. What a joy it will be to have them there with us!

I was wondering about people who've had near death experiences. You've answered my question, and that's all I need to know! 😊

I agree with CS Lewis animals do go to Heaven. Heaven without my cat would be awful.
