Mental Health
We take grief seriously. Whether it is grief about a human or a furry friend, grief = grief.
Our Approach
✔ You receive End of Life Doula support from the moment we meet until after your pet has passed away
✔ Our team of veterinary specialists can support you and your pet in your journey. But when you find you need just a bit more support, we can recommend an amazing pet bereavement counsellor.
✔ The nature of our work, working with hospice patients, their bereaved caregivers and performing regular euthanasia consults at home, means we get to experience a lot of difficult and emotional situations. That's why our team receives emotional support by professionals too.
✔ We have an ever expanding bank of free resources to support you and your pet in your journey
✔ We will never rush you in your decision making or after your pet has passed away. We'll take our time with you, your pet and the last moments of their life.
A word about grief
We understand that grief is not a linear process that happens after you lost a loved one to death. Grief can also be anticipatory (when you grieve the future loss of someone or something) and compounded (when one loss triggers the memory of another loss). On another note, loss does not only mean "loss by death". You can feel loss after a beloved animal physically got lost, moved out with your ex-partner or you had to put it up for adoption. We recognise that grief and loss are complex issues and we will approach every individual case with care.
