❄️Winter Comfort Tips for Our Golden Oldies

If your older pet is stiff or taking longer to get up out of bed this winter, it might not be the cold...

It could be pain.

Cooler weather often flares up sore joints and tired muscles, and our pets are experts at hiding pain and putting a brave face on.

Look for signs like:
• Sleeping more than usual
• Stiffness getting up after naps
• Slower walks
• Struggling with steps

It’s not just ageing. It might be discomfort that can be eased.

Simple changes can help:
• Warm/heated soft beds off cold floors
• Gentle movement to keep joints and muscles moving every day
• Supportive care like nutraceutical supplements
• Integrative therapies like CBD oil
• Pain relief options like tablets/liquid or injectable as needed
• Weight management

If your senior citizen is finding this winter a bit rough, I can come to you and help create a Comfy Care Plan so that you understand your pet's support needs, the options you have, and how you can best support your loved one.

All from the comfort of your own home 🏡🐶🐱

Most vet visits don't involve sombreros - but they should feel this relaxed.

Nova can get a little nervous during vet visits (totally fair, mate)

But thanks to some pre-visit anti-anxiety meds, a sprinkle of kitty crack (aka Churu), his lovely humans cuddling him through the tough moments, and a gentle vet (hiya 👋🏼) — he absolutely nailed his Comfort Care visit. 💛

We took our time. Took breaks when he needed. Let him lead the pace.

And that meant we were able to give him a really thorough senior check, talk through all his care needs, and make a plan to keep him comfy and thriving at home.

If your senior pet is living with chronic illness, slowing down, or approaching the end of their journey - you don't have to navigate it alone.

Comfort Care starts with a gentle chat... and maybe a few snacks. I'm here to help, at home.

If your pet could talk, would they tell you they’re hurting?

Probably not... Pets rarely show pain in obvious ways.

They don’t always cry or limp

Often, they whisper 🤫

• Slower to rise or hesitating on the stairs
• Licking more or avoiding being touched
• Sleeping more
• Hiding away

Cats especially are experts at covering up discomfort.

But those little changes? They matter.

If you’re noticing shifts in behaviour, trust your gut.

This is the time in their life that they can really benefit from your TLC - and there's so much that we can do to make them comfy in these golden years

I offer in-home care to gently assess your pet’s comfort and ease their days.

Slow medicine means taking the time to understand you and your pet's needs, their home environment, personality, and food and activity preferences - so we can co-create a Comfort Care Plan to give them the best

“But they’re still eating…” Isn’t that a good sign?

It can be, but it’s not the full story...

Quality of life isn’t just about being alive: it’s about how our pets are living ☀️

Are they still finding joy in their walks or their favourite sunny spot?

Are they moving comfortably or hesitating more each day?

Are they joyfully seeking out your company or spending more time alone?

These changes can be subtle and easy to second-guess.

That’s where I come in 🐾🩺

I offer gentle comfort care and in-home support to help you understand what your pet truly needs

And when the time comes, I’ll guide you through their final day with kindness and care ❤️

"I wish we’d called you sooner..."

I hear it more than I’d like

Too many families wait until their pet is struggling - when the decline has steepened, and urgent decisions are being made in the middle of the night

But comfort care doesn’t start at the end

It can start weeks or even months earlier

When your pet is still having good days, but you're noticing the changes

When you want support, clarity, a plan

I offer much more than an end-of-life visit

I offer time

Education

Relief

Presence

A gentle, spacious way to walk this road - so you’re not alone, and your pet is supported every step of the way

If your pet is ageing, slowing down, or living with illness, let’s talk now. Not when it’s too late to plan.

This kind of goodbye doesn’t happen by accident.

B and A shared years of companionship—and in those final chapters, they had the space, trust, and support to make every moment count.

I was lucky to walk alongside them for a long time.

Through check-ins, treatments, conversations, and gentle adjustments, we shaped Archie’s care with his comfort at the centre.

You don’t have to wait until it’s urgent.

If your pet is ageing—or if you’ve started wondering when “old age” becomes something more—I’m here to walk that road with you. Early. Gently. Together.

DM me ‘comfort’ to learn what ongoing care can look like for your senior pet. 💛

We don't wait until we're drenched to wish we’d brought an umbrella ☔

But with our pets, we often wait to talk about palliative care until it’s already pouring — when things are really hard, and decisions feel urgent.

Palliative care (or as I like to call it, comfort care) isn’t just for the very end.

It’s gentle, supportive care that can start earlier — when your pet is still having good days, but the signs of ageing or illness are starting to show.

It might be stiffness. A reduced appetite. Slowing down. Restless at night.

They're not emergencies — but they're signs that a storm might be on the way.

Comfort care is like having that umbrella ready.
And when it does rain — I’ll be there holding it with you.

📩 If you’ve noticed changes and you’re not sure what comes next, reach out.

Let’s talk it through, gently. I’m here to help 💜

Some words stay with you.

A family recently shared this after saying goodbye to their beloved dog — and with their blessing, I’m sharing a little of what they wrote, in the hope it brings comfort to someone else walking a similar path.

To this beautiful family — thank you for the trust, the love you gave your boy, and for allowing me to be part of his journey home.

He was clearly so loved.

If you’re caring for an ageing or unwell pet and don’t know where to begin, please know that support exists.

It doesn’t have to be rushed or clinical. It can be slow, familiar, and full of love — just like they deserve.

Some days their eyes sparkle just like they used to - other days, they barely lift their head 💔

The ups and downs at the end of life can be so confusing — and so heartbreaking.

But they're also normal.

Serious illness doesn't usually follow a straight path. It's messy, full of little rallies and setbacks.

You're not imagining it. And you're not doing anything wrong.

If you're feeling unsure about how your pet is travelling, or just need someone to talk things through with, I’m here.

Reach out anytime 📩
We'll work it out together. 💛

You love them deeply... and now you're facing the unthinkable.

It's okay to have questions. To feel unsure. To not know when, or how, or what to do next.

You're not alone.

Whether you're wondering if your pet is uncomfortable or distressed, unsure if it's "the right time", or you just need someone to talk to - I'm here.

We'll take it slow. Talk it through. Make a plan that feels right for you and your beloved one.

No pressure. No rush. Just gentle support when you need it most.

If you're sitting with questions or just need to talk it through, please reach out. We can talk it through together.

She didn’t make it onto the boat one last time — her legs just couldn’t quite do it.

But she did make it to the grassy banks of her favourite spot by the water.

The sun was warm on her back. Her people were close. Friends and dogs came by to say their goodbyes.

It wasn’t the same adventure it used to be…
But it was still hers. Still full of love.

This is what palliative care is all about 🐾🩺

Helping our beloved pets have more good days than hard ones. Making gentle adjustments so they can still enjoy the things they love. And giving families space to savour these final, precious moments.

It’s not just medicine. It’s someone to walk alongside you.
To help you understand what your pet needs.
To help you know when it’s time.
To hold space for the love, the grief, and the goodbye.

We don’t grieve so deeply because we’re weak.
We grieve deeply because we’ve loved so fiercely.

And what a gift it is to love - and be loved in return - by a pet like her. 💔

It’s not always about giving them the longest time

It’s about giving them the best time 💖

A diagnosis can be scary

But here’s the truth: whether it’s a name or just a knowing…

We still get to choose joy

We still get to chase tennis balls

We still get to soak up sunshine, cuddles, belly rubs, and those goofy, golden moments

Palliative care isn’t about giving up—it’s about leaning in to the time we have left

Because every moment is precious 🥰

Palliative care is about living well, not just managing symptoms.

Comfort. Dignity. And a life still full of the things they love.

You don't have to wait until they're "bad enough".

Support starts now.

Let's create a plan that supports your pet's needs as they change over time.

If something’s been on your mind, let’s talk.

DM me “QoL” and I’ll walk you through the options 🐾🩺
