17 years is such a long time for any dog to live, and Chihuahuas usually live between 12 and 20 years. People Magazine reports that the Chihuahua's death came over a year after Jonathan said goodbye to another pet, his dog Stewie, who had also been by his side for over a decade. The star shared news of Stewie's death in November 2022 on Instagram alongside a carousel of photos of the beloved pet.

Losing a pet is always so heartbreaking and there's no right way to grieve the loss of an animal you have shared your life with. Our heart's go out to Jonathan and Zooey.

How To Heal After Losing a Pet

Here are just a few suggestions about how you can start to heal after saying goodbye to one of your much-loved and treasured furry family members.

Give yourself time to grieve. You won't feel better in a day, or maybe even after years. It's normal to feel sad and miss your pet on occasion. Letting yourself feel this sadness is all part of the healing process.

Seek support from your family, friends, and even Internet pet loss groups. Talking about your feelings and sharing memories of your dog can be comforting and validating that you have every right to be sad.

Consider getting another pet or fostering a pet in need. Taking care of another pet that needs your help is a wonderful way to honor your pet who passed. If you feel it's too soon to adopt, consider volunteering at your local shelter.

Finally, if you're really struggling to cope with your grief or finding it difficult to go about your daily life, consider seeking professional help from a counselor or therapist.

It's so hard, but in time it does get easier and your heart will break a little less each day.
