Empathetic and Trauma-Informed Veterinary Care

THEY ARE YOUR HEART. THEY ARE PURE LOVE. THEY ARE FAMILY MEMBERS.

You Will Do Anything for Your Pet

…and during the season of pet end-of-life or illness, sometimes it’s difficult to clearly know how to navigate it all.

We all wish they could stay with us longer

We want to express gratitude to them for everything they’ve given us.

We want to give them a most beautiful goodbye - peaceful and surrounded by love.

We want them to experience dignity, honour, and unconditional support as they transition.

We’ll never know exactly how you are feeling at this time - but we can be with you as you navigate this chapter in your relationship with your pet.

As a hospice veterinarian & tech, we have a window into the sublime beauty of the human-animal bond and it is our greatest desire to serve that connection by supporting you and your pet through the end-of-life transition.

Offering a ceremonial aspect to the euthanasia process and providing a personalized experience that feels right for you and your family.

My own personal relationship with grief and burnout has widened my perspective on what it means to be human while going through a difficult time.

This is a safe, humanitarian experience. I hold space for you and your emotions.

My goal is to connect with you and your family on a level that allows me to see the love you and your pet share through your eyes.
