As part of our unique human animal bond-centred approach to caring for pets and their people, we offer Home Pet Care Planning consultations, to provide professional guidance and support to you and your pet through all life stages, while being sensitive and supportive to your circumstances at the time.
Connect
We connect to your pet and you, and develop a strong understanding of your pet, but also who you are and where everyone is at.
This becomes a foundation for a longer term pet caring relationship as your pet and you travel through life’s stages.
Assess
We conduct a thorough and comprehensive health and wellbeing assessment of your pet across all areas: (physical health, nutrition, dental, environmental factors, training and behaviour, bond appraisal, owner’s circumstances, financial considerations, hardship considerations)
Plan
Through our consultative and collaborative process we develop a tailored plan that works for your pet and you.
Support
We provide support so that you can implement the plan and are responsive to changing needs. We understand life, pets and people.
Whatever age, stage or phase, we can enhance your pet’s health and wellbeing through our supportive and guided approach across several areas including:
- Start Right plan
For those thinking of getting a pet. Make the right choices from the beginning and get started right, so that you can enjoy the benefits of pet ownership.

Has your pet received a chronic or terminal illness diagnosis? Are you struggling to process and understand the options? Is your pet nearing the end of his or her life, and you are seeking additional professional advice on how to manage this very special chapter?
