Doula Support for Companion Animals
Losing a pet can be as emotionally devastating as losing a human family member. The grief we feel when a beloved animal dies is often disenfranchised, making people feel isolated in their loss. I am here with you.
If your pet is showing signs of decline, or suffering due to illness or injury, I can assist with planning for their last days. This may include:
Creating an Advance Care Plan for your pet and discussing options such as natural death or euthanasia
Preparing for the day of euthanasia, whether at home or at the vet
Meaningful rituals to honour your pet
Emotional support and attendance on the day of euthanasia
Talking with and including children in the process
Grief support
“Until one has loved an animal, a part of one’s soul remains unawakened.”
– Anatole France
Pricing for Companion Animal Support:
Our animals are family and their dying deserves the same compassion and presence that we offer the people we love.
Pet doula services are offered at $80/hour – a slightly lower rate than human end-of-life doula services to reflect differences in scope and complexity, while honouring the depth of the human-animal bond.
