Am I being an arsehole to think this is a bit ridiculous?

It seems like it sets a precedent. I have three cats, will I get a day off each time one of them dies ?

I am a pet person. I think it’s ridiculous. And CF

It is ridiculous, but get the popcorn out OP as you’re going to be told it’s more than reasonable, as it’s not just a dog.

I personally think its a bit ridiculous but I'm not a pet person so 🤷
