Welcome
I am a Senior Dog Care Consultant, helping senior dog parents struggling with anticipatory grief and quality of life issues, by offering practical tips, advice and one on one support. I am also a Certified Pet Loss Bereavement Specialist, helping you navigate your grief journey.
Anticipatory Grief – Occurs when a person starts to grieve the loss of a pet before it happens.
Quality of Life – A measure of your dog’s overall wellbeing, which includes physical, mental and behavioral health.
Senior Dog Care and Comfort – Find ways to ensure you best accommodate the needs of your aging or sick dog.
Pet Loss Grief Support – Providing coping strategies and tools to help you navigate the grieving process.
As a loving pet parent, facing the reality of your dog aging or becoming ill is incredibly painful. The uncertainty, the fear of missing the right moment, the worry about their quality of life—it can feel overwhelming. But you don’t have to go through it alone.
I’m here to guide you through these difficult times with compassion and understanding. When anticipatory grief weighs you down, I’ll validate your feelings while helping you stay present with your dog, creating lasting memories. Together, we’ll also address caregiver burnout and make end-of-life plans that reflect your dog’s best interests.
When it comes to quality of life, I’ll help you see the signs that go beyond eating habits. Many pets suffer silently, and waiting for a clear signal isn’t the answer. I’ll support you in detaching from the emotional whirlwind to truly ask if your dog’s current life is one they’d want.
For your senior dog’s comfort, I’ll provide guidance on adapting to their changing needs—both physically and mentally. From understanding what’s normal aging to identifying health concerns, I’ll equip you with the tools to keep your dog happy and comfortable in their golden years.
Pet loss can be overwhelming and lonely. I’m here to listen, validate your feelings and help you understand your grief is legitimate and normal. In addition to compassionate support, I provide coping strategies and tools to help you through the grieving process.
You don’t have to do this alone. Let’s navigate this journey together.

Testimonials
“I met with Hindy to talk about how to know it is time to let your senior dog go. She was so empathetic, understanding, and knowledgeable. She listened and offered her experiences, advice, and a new perspective for me to think about. I appreciated her taking the time to talk to me openly and honestly about a difficult topic.”
“This was the first zoom I’ve ever attended. I couldn’t be more pleased. I found that getting to speak with others face to face was so beneficial. The topic anticipatory grief is one that is very personal to almost everyone and I think difficult to express in words (post). The zoom session made that much easier. Great idea Hindy”
