Have you ever wondered if one of your deceased pets has reincarnated? Or may you think one of your current animals is a reincarnation of your furry soulmate?
If so, you are not alone. Many people often ask themselves these questions and wonder if their pets can be reincarnated.
The simple answer to this question is YES, our animals can and will often reincarnate. our souls never die and they can be reborn many times in a new body. Our animals are no different, in this, and with their shorter lifespan, they often come back multiple times.
In this post, we will look at the most common signs that you have found your reincarnated pet.
1. Feeling an Instant Connection
Feeling instantly drawn to an animal can be a sign that you have encountered a reincarnated pet, these are usually, dogs, cats and horses.
And although this may make sense, our minds doubt what our bodies and souls already know. We don’t always feel an instant connection with others so don’t dismiss it.
Maybe it is not your reincarnated cat or dog but there is a strong indication that you’ve crossed paths with this soul before, maybe even more than once. Don’t dismiss this connection, it is a sign that you have met before and have a shared history. They may have something important to share or teach you.
2. Feeling Overwhelming Emotions
Meeting our reincarnated pets can be a deeply emotional experience. The encounter may trigger overwhelming feelings of love, excitement, peace, sadness, relief, and a sense of finally being reunited.
The reunion may bring about tears of joy and laughter, as this special soul holds a cherished place in your heart.
These emotions are personal and signify a soul-level reconnection with your beloved pet. Whether you unexpectedly meet them at home or while traveling, it feels like destiny brought you together.
3. Recognising their eyes
Our eyes are said to be the windows to our souls. It is believed that our bodies may change from one life to another, but our soul remains intact.
So, it is no surprise that some people instantly recognize their reincarnated pets while looking into the animal’s eyes. If this is the case, you may have found their reincarnation.
They are our animal soulmates, our helpers and our best friends!
4. Experiencing Telepathic Communication
Have you ever connected with someone so well that you knew the thought going through their mind before they said them? It’s like you just know things without having even exchanged a single word.
This can also happen when we come into contact with our deceased and reincarnated pets. This is called telepathic communication and the connection can be so profound that we even hear them speak. Words or sentences may flood into your mind, accompanied by a feeling of happiness and excitement.
This is not you losing your marbles!! Your animal wants to let you know that it is them, that they have come back and how excited they are to see you!
5. Getting Flashback of Shared Memories
Encountering your reincarnated pet is a truly extraordinary and one-of-a-kind experience that defies rational explanation. While you may not physically recognize your pet, you can feel their presence deep within you.
During this encounter, you may start to remember all the things you did together. These memories may appear as random visions, flashbacks, and dreams. It’s not uncommon for these memories to confuse our rational minds, and some people may even begin to question the experience.
6. Feeling a Sudden Urge to Embrace or Touch Them
When you have found your reincarnated pet, you might feel an inexplicable pull towards them, even when there is no apparent reason to feel that way. As you approach your pet, you may feel the urge to hold them in a loving embrace or to reach out and touch them.
It’s like you are reuniting with your deceased pet, but they are in a different body. This feeling of safety can even extend to wild animals as if you have an unspoken bond with them.
7. Sensing an Electrical Current Throughout Your Body
Reuniting with your reincarnated pet and touching them may evoke an electric sensation that flows through your body. This physical contact can trigger memories and sensations, such as hearing their name, feeling their presence, and even catching their scent.
These experiences can be intense and are a sign that the pet has a soul mission to support you or help you spiritually grow. This feeling can be felt multiple times but most people sense it the first time they physically touch the animal.
8. Getting Goose Bumps
Have you ever experienced chills or goosebumps when looking at or interacting with an animal? Then, you may be sensing your reincarnated pet’s energy or your spirit guides were letting you know that your deceased furry friend was around.
So, next time you feel these spiritual chills, take a moment to tune in and listen to your intuition. It might just be your beloved pet, sending you a loving message from beyond the veil!
9. Experiencing Déjà Vu When You Are Around Them
Have you ever experienced déjà vu? It’s a really weird feeling when you think you’ve already gone through the exact same situation before. Sometimes, we may experience this with an animal that has reincarnated.
We remember interacting with the soul despite the change in physical appearance. Some people experience déjà vu when they meet their reincarnated animal for the first time. Others may get this feeling during familiar situations or experiences shared with their deceased animal.
10. Having a Strong Desire To Have Them In Your Life
Another tell-tale sign that you’ve encountered your reincarnated pet is feeling an intense urge to take them home with you. You may feel a strong attachment to the animal sense and want to share your life with them once again. It feels like your beloved pet has returned, and you can’t imagine life without them.
11. Finding unique markings on their body
Another sign that your animal has reincarnated is through their unique physical appearance. When our beloved pets come back, they can choose the body they wish to reincarnate into, including the color and markings.
You may notice that your reincarnated pet has a marking that reminds you of their past life, such as a birthmark in the same place as a past injury or scar.
It’s truly remarkable how our furry soulmates can come back to us in such a special way, and it’s a beautiful reminder of the everlasting bond that we share with them.
12. Exhibiting Familiar Behaviour
One way to recognize the reincarnated soul of a deceased animal is by observing the new animal’s behavior and personality. For example, you might notice that your new dog exhibits the same body language as your previous dog, who has passed away, or they may show similar fears and anxieties.
Your new animal may become tense and exhibit the same fears as your deceased animal. Alternatively, your new cat might exhibit similar behaviors to those of your deceased cat, such as scratching their back on a particular pole or urinating in a specific location that your previous cat preferred.
Additionally, personality traits that were unique to the deceased animal, such as curiosity, stubbornness, mischievousness, or boldness, may carry over into the new animal. These traits could serve as further evidence of the reincarnation of the soul.
13. Time and space ceasing to exist
When you meet your reincarnated dog or animal the bond between them remains incredibly strong. So much so, that when you reencounter them you may feel like the world around you fades away.
Time seems to stand still as you get completely lost in each other’s company. You may it hard to focus on anything else – being with them is all that matters! This was no chance meeting, your souls planned to meet again.
Final Thoughts
Our animals can choose to reincarnate and reconnect with us at any time. So, if you sense that your beloved pet has reincarnated, trust your instincts. If you feel one of the following signs can mean you have found your beloved pet:
- Feeling an instant Connection
- Recognizing their eyes
- Feeling Overwhelming Emotions Upon Meeting
- Experiencing telepathic communication
- Getting flashbacks of shared memories
- Feeling a deep urge to embrace or touch them
- Sensing an electrical current through your body
- Getting goose bumps as you interact with them
- Experiencing Déjà vu when they are around
- Having a strong desire to have them in your life
- Finding unique markings on their body
- Exhibiting familiar behavior
- Time and space cease to exist
The bond with our furry friends is truly special and transcends the physical world. So, cherish every moment with your pets, whether they are old souls or new, and embrace the love they bring into your life!

I love this article Sandra. I am grateful that you wrote this and included it on your website. I have often thought many of my pets have reincarnated. In fact, one of my dogs has started to grow wiry hair around his eyes like my other dog used to have and with his breed there is no wiry hair at all. More interesgly, he didn’t start growing this hair until he was nearly four years old! Thank you, I look forward to reading the rest of these articles. Infinite love and blessings to you!
Thank you for sharing Pam.
I lost my pet soul mate almost 10 yrs ago.
He was the love of my life. The love I felt for his transcended anything I had ever felt for anyone.
He passed away very old and although I knew it was time for him to go, his absence was the most painful loss in my life.
It took years for me to go through my grief. We adopted again, and although I love my dogs, the holes my pet soul mate filled remained empty.
Until last year, when I started to have this insanely strong feeling in my uterus, like I wanted life and give birth. I never wanted to be a parent, so I told my hubby I really wanted to adopt another dog. He vehemently said no for many reasons, but I just could not. I went online and looked for a breed mix of dog that was never even considered before. Then I saw her face, this little puppy up for adoption. And I could not get her out of my mind. Throughout the entire process I just knew I had to have her.
After the rescue approved me for her and I went th found a couple of interviews and brought her home, I was sitting on my couch a few weeks later with her on my lap. I was caressing her and I looked up and I saw the photo of my pet soul mate staring back at me. I was overwhelmed by this insane voice in my head and feeling, where he said “I am back”. I cried unconsolably. My hubby had already made a few comments about how she did some things that marked my pet soulmate’s adoption. I had also noted a few very peculiar things she did that were just like him.
I kept those feelings for myself because I didn’t want people to think I was crazy.
Then I posted a photo of my new puppy online and my mom (who is extremely spiritual) commented: “I am back to you in this little body.” I was shaking like crazy and called my mom
to ask what she meant. And she said she had the overwhelming feeling she was my pet soulmate’s reincarnation and started crying.
It was hard to deny this feeling when my mom, without prompting, asking or anything thought the same.
The people who know me long know about my love for my pet soulmate and they have made comments how I express myself with her like I did with my pet soulmate. So I believe that. Regardless of anything, my baby fills me with a love I have no words to describe.
Hi Leeloo
Thank you for sharing this beautiful story. Your message brought tears to my eyes. I’m overjoyed to hear that you have found your pet soul mate. 🙂 There’s something truly special about reconnecting with our reincarnated animals.
It’s true that many of us tend to doubt ourselves until someone else confirms our feelings. So, it’s wonderful that your husband and mother were able to validate your experience and acknowledge your dog’s reincarnation.
I’d give anything for my sweet Daisy to come back to me. I feel so lost without her, life feels empty. I hope I see her again
Hello Caroline
Thank you for sharing. Yes, animals are our little angels and when they are gone, oh how they are missed. I hope Daisy finds her way back to you soon.
Sandra
My beloved dog who chose me at only a few days old passed at 17 years, he was blind his last 9 years due to PRA he & I adopted to it. He played all the time, loved chasing me with the hose, knew when we were at McDonald’s got his kiddy kone. I miss him TERRIBLY. A year after he passed almost to the day I was given a mini dachshund looked just like him, was 9 weeks old, I was sure it was him, my rescue growled at him so I gave him back, I hate myself as I feel we had a second chance & I gave him back. What if it was him, I gave my love away, I am sick that I didn’t give them more time to adjust, I never hear from my lost love I’m sure it’s my fault as he must have come back & I gave him away, I need him so much as my rescue never plays just sleeps, I’m sick at heart wishing I knew if this puppy was my Bullett.
Hello Diane
I am sorry to hear about your loss, Bullett sounds like such a beautiful soul. The good news is that they can come back multiple times so don’t worry about never seeing him again. Our animals can hear our thoughts and know our intentions. If you had known for sure it was him, you would have never given him up. If he made his way back to you once, he can do it again. It may just take a little time. But you can connect to him on a soul level. Grab a picture of him and look into his beautiful eyes. Then feel what it was like when he was with you tell him how you are feeling and find a way to forgive yourself. Our dogs love us unconditionally, and if he is your soul mate, he will want to spend not one, but many more lives with you. Ask him to come and say hello and let you know he is with you. See if you receive any signs from the afterlife. That way you will know if it was him or not. Bullett would want you to be happy and although the guilt is normal, try to forgive yourself and trust he will come back to you when he is ready. Thank you so much for sharing. Sending you love and healing. 🙂
Such a beautiful article to read, Sandra, thankyou. My heart breaks for your readers who’ve responded and shared about their soul mates…there’s no grief like it.
I lost my bestie a few months back. He was only 2 years old.
I had an amazing experience a few weeks back tho that has not left me nor will it. We were at the beach when out of nowhere I came face to face with the most peculiar puppy (8-9 months?) who gave me such a jarring yet beautifully visceral exchange. I always chat to the owners of dogs when out and about and I had such a lovely, albeit emotional conversation with his owner, who was so kind and completely engaging. We spoke about the unusuall characteristics of her dog and how she too was convinced he was ‘out of the ordinary’ and quite possibly human? I told her about my beautiful dog, trying not to overwhelm her with my own grief. But it was the interaction between her dog and me that was quite remarkable, as both herself and my BF noticed the immediate connection we’d made in such a short amount of time. He
had such an uncanny familiarity about him, so striking that it hit my heart like an arrow from a bow! His eyes, his nature, his beeline to me? Then his reluctance to walk away when it was time for them to keep wondering along…he would spring back to his owners side as she called and continued to meander along the beach but he kept stopping every 20 or so meters and turning back to me, either staring or defiantly running back over to where I stood… He did this repeatedly, untill he was far far along in the distance and to the point I felt my presence was interrupting their walking time. I have cried so many times for my bf to take me back to that spot on the beach so I see him again, as I know he lived nearby, I’m so sure he was connected to my diggerdog on a spiritual level of some kind. His new owner was such a beautiful lady and I feel blessed she gave me her time and allowed me to talk and cry about my loss. I can’t stop thinking about him though, I’m convinced it was either a message from Sladie or it was a reincarnation of sorts. I’m comforted by knowing he is with kind owner…Fen
Hello Fennis
Yes, you are absolutely right, it is heartbreaking when we lose our animal soul mates. That is why these divine experiences are so special. They can help us feel a little closer to our animals in spirit and help us heal too. Feeling this intense connection and spiritual recognition pulls you into an energetic void that is simply magical. No amount of words can really express this heartfelt encounter and although watching them leave can feel heartbreaking, every second of the experience was worth it and will remain with you forever. I hope you get the chance to see the puppy again. This will give you the opportunity to know whether Sladie was communicating through this dog or if he has reincarnated into a new family. Either way, you know that the two of you share a soul mate connection and that a part of him will always remain with you. Thank you for your beautiful message and for sharing the wonderful experience with us all. Sending you love and healing. 🙂
My soul mate puppy passed exactly 10 days ago.. He was 4 days away from being a year old. He passed feb 9th. His birthday was February 13th. The day he passed.. I died with him. My husband reassured me that we’d only be alone for some time. I furiously told him no. Not another dog.. not going through the same thing again. He automatically said of course he understood no more dogs. 3 days later I came home from church & I broke to pieces walking in my house, walked up stairs until my husband came up to ask me if I was ok, I cried telling him ‘I do want another baby’ (fur baby) that night my husband found out his clients dog had puppies which are the same exact color & breed my baby Future was. I immediately cried and said let’s get one 😭 So we gave the deposit down on the dog. The very next day someone contacts my husband & says hey there’s this dog that needs to be rehomed. He is usually in the kennel all day long.. he needs a good family we know you guys are amazing parents & would be lovely to this new puppy. Especially cause they saw what the loss of Future had done. Mind you he’s also a French bulldog and he’s 1 year & 3 months! Immediately I said yes. The number 1 & 3… my baby’s birthday!! He is an angel sent from my baby! He played allllll night long with us slept with me, it’s been 3-4 days and he follows me around EVERYWHERE… & crazy.. I have a ton of toys that my baby never played with that he loves!!!!! I also got some bark box toys laying around that he doesn’t care about. He loves Future’s toys!!! (Future never liked toys) he always wanted to play catch with me cause I played with him since he was soooo small. But I had already been reading all the medium stuff I had no idea about. (My mom had told me a little bit about it & how she believed it 100 percent) I still have to wait 7 weeks for the new baby. But I truly believe that will be my baby Future reincarnated!!! He HATED I mean hated being away from me. He went crazyyyyyy If I went into another room he went with me. Cried like a child outside the room for me to let him in! He was beyond spoiled!!!! I know he can’t go a minute without me I’m so sure he came back in that litter!!!! I get weird senses of smell it’s usually pee, his scent, or a good weird smell. It comes in waves too. & he’s sent me so many signs that he’s here… I know my baby can’t live without me and he knewwwww I couldn’t live without him myself. He comes and visits soooo often! It’s crazy I’m so glad I read all this amazing stuff you guys have to offer. I am alive again with this new pup. & someone is gifting me another French bulldog that is 8 hours away from me… exactly in the city where my momma lives. And I decided to buy her. She also had been in kennels all day and was very alone according to her mom.. she is loved but no time. I was about to say nevermind…When she text me at 7-8pm ‘hey girl Tokyo has been in the kennel all day.. I went to work at 7 and it’s 8 pm and I’m barley getting home.. my heart shrunk!!! I text her back right away don’t worry she won’t be living like that for long.. she will have the best puppy parents!!! I’m just in awe that my baby Future didn’t just send me 1 but 2 little angels meanwhile I wait for his reincarnated soul.. for 7 agonizing weeks!!! I truly believe that’s my baby! I can’t wait to look into those doggies eyes because I know I’ll know which one to take home whether it be a girl or a boy I’m so excited!!!! Future has given me a 3 reasons to live!!! I’m so grateful. I hope somebody reads this and knowssss their baby is in heaven with their loved ones watching over us or being reincarnated as we speak!!! I will be back with updates 🐾
Hi Wendy
I am so sorry to hear about future crossing over at such a young age. It is great that your husband is there for you and open to the new furry additions. The synchronicity of it all is just amazing, those two dogs are very lucky souls. They deserve to be spoiled, they are wonderful companions, loyal, trusting, sensitive, and yet full of unconditional love. I am sure those dogs will also bring you a lot of love and joy too.
You also mentioned smelling scents in waves that come and go, that is exactly how we psychically perceive scents. Thank you for taking the time to share your experience, I am sure your message will help others too. Sending you love and healing. 🙂
What a great article, thank you for sharing your knowledge! My beautiful dog, Nina, crossed the rainbow bridge October 2023. We were together for 14 incredible years. I always knew she is my soul dog. Last week an animal communicator gave me the best news I ever received in my entire life: Nina is coming back to me!!!! She is already in her mother’s belly!! And she asked me to call her Maya this time. She said we are soul family and we were together in many lives. When I was a kid, she was Lory. Then she was Nina, and now she will be Maya. I am so happy, so grateful, I can’t even explain! I am so excited to meet her again. This article sure helped me to calm my nerves, now I am more confident about finding her. Thank you!!
Hi Debora
That is wonderful news! I can imagine how much you are looking forward to reconnecting with your soul dog. Many pet parents worry about not finding their reincarnated pets or that they won’t recognize them. But we will always be able to sense our soul pets, our connection transcends time and space. So trust your intuition and know that when you meet Maya, you will know it is her.
Thank you for sharing. Do let me know once you have found her. 🙂
Sending you love and a spark of intuition.
H I loved your article I think my new dog Reba may be my dog chewy he was a chuwawa he was with me for 19 years Reba is a standard poodle I was attracted to her immediately I saw her she has a birth mark just like chewy the same color and in the same place what do you think
Hi Jill
I actually got full-body chills as I read your message, It could well be her. Have you noticed any other similarities or coincidences since you brought her home?
Sandra
Thanks Sandra. I have read your article about deceased animal. My loving dog dead one month ago. After reading your article I hope he will surely reincarnate and back to me. If I found him then always grateful to you. Thank you so much.
Hi Pratim
I am sorry to hear about your dog recently passing away. I am sure you miss him/her deeply and can’t wait to see their beautiful face once again. I also hope that your dog finds their way back to you, hopefully it will be very soon.
Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment.
Sending you love and healing. 🙂
