Pet End-of-Life Doula Services

Helping you through a peaceful, dignified and compassionate passing of your pet

For people whose pets were their sole or closest companions, or families grieving the loss of a cherished family member, the emotional toll can be profound. Fur Angels’ end-of-life doula services provide non-medical, emotional as well as practical support needed during this difficult time so that pets and their owners can find a peaceful dignified acceptance of their passing.

You don’t have to do it all alone. We can meet on-line or in-person at my Inner West consultation room or I can visit you at your home (Sydney metro area). 

End-of-Life & Euthanasia Support

Your pet’s journey towards the end of their life can be emotionally draining.  Planning and experiencing their end-of-life time, euthanasia and cremation are some of the most challenging moments that stay with us for a long time. We can experience overwhelming grief, before, during and after our loss. To have peace of mind requires the right information, empathy and practical support to know that you made the best decisions for you, your loved ones and your pet.

Everybody experiences the loss of our animal companions differently. There is no right or wrong. My approach to pet grief counselling service aims to provide compassionate, non-judgemental support to help you navigate the emotional journey of losing a beloved pet. For lasting memories and moments of closure, my personalised memorial celebrant service creates meaningful tributes to celebrate and honour their unconditional love.

Hello, I am Ursula

For many of us, our pet is a life companion. Losing that companion is one of the most heartbreaking times in our lives. This has been the case for me when I lost my dog, love of my life, Cobber. It took me years to understand how traumatic this loss has been for me. There were so many moments of regrets and painful doubt if I made the best choices. Working through my griefing journey led me to estabishging Fur Angels. There had to be a better way, and way that is not walked alone.

The grieving journey can be incredibly distressing, lonely, and misunderstood by those around us.  My intention is to support you with non-medical supporting services the way that is best suited for your needs and situation.

I founded Fur Angels in Sydney, so that pets and their owners can find a peaceful and dignified acceptance of their passing and honour their unconditional love.
