We can help

Pet Chaplain® is a nonprofit service that provides pet loss and grief-support training to individuals and groups. We can train and register you and your staff to provide veterinary pastoral care to individuals and families. Contact us to learn more about how you can study online to become a registered Pet Chaplain®.

Pastoral care is a proven model of emotional and spiritual support that can be found in all cultures and religious traditions. We are an educational institute not a religious organization. We believe bereavement care should mirror the emotional and spiritual needs of a grieving pet owner.

Do you grieve the loss of a special pet? Do you sometimes struggle to provide emotional support to your clients or members who grieve? Do you or your staff experience compassion fatigue?

We will teach you about the human-animal bond and bereavement, and how to help others adapt to pet loss. Our staff have clinical experience and more than 20 years pastoral practice. We offer intensive training in the human-animal bond, pet loss and bereavement. We can assist you and your organization with your training needs.
