El presente estudio tuvo como propósito describir cómo es el duelo de un veterinario frente a la pérdida de su mascota. Los participantes del estudio fueron 5 veterinarios de Lima que estuvieron dentro del año de haber perdido a su mascota. Para ello, se realizó un estudio cualitativo donde se utilizó como técnica de recolección de información la entrevista semiestructurada y los resultados se organizaron desde un análisis temático. Los hallazgos muestran que la mascota representa un objeto de amor para sus cuidadores, que hay un duelo tras su fallecimiento y que existen tres características particulares de esta pérdida que dificultan el duelo: La primera, son las actitudes sociales frente al fallecimiento de la mascota; la segunda, es la necesidad de ritos para despedirse de la mascota y la tercera, la culpa, al ser responsables por la vida de la mascota. Se concluye, que existe un duelo equiparable o más intenso que otras pérdidas. Por último, los veterinarios resultan una población representativa para conocer este duelo, pues perciben a los animales como objetos de amor, velan por su bienestar y según un estudio publicado en American Pet Products Association (2013) la pérdida de su mascota le ha provocado un gran dolor a largo plazo.This research was conducted with the purpose of describing grief in veterinarians facing the loss of their own pet. The participants were 5 veterinarians from Lima that were within the year of bereavement. It is a qualitative investigation with a phenomenological design, and Semi-structured interviews were employed to collect the information needed.The findings suggest that companion animals are an object of love and the existence of grief following the loss and that there are three specific characteristics that make grieving a pet difficult.The first is social attitudes towards the death of the pet, whether they felt people recognized the loss and grief they were feeling; the second, called the need for rituals, is about the desire for a ritual for them to say goodbye to their pets and third is guilt, which arises from the responsibility felt for the pets live. The study concludes that grieving a pet resulted equally or more intense than losing another loved one. Finally, veterinarians are a relevant population, because they perceive animals as an object of love, care for their wellbeing and according to a study published in the American Pet Products Association (2013) the loss of their pet caused them great pain in the long term.
