Pet Bereavement Counsellors Partner With Dignipets to expand support

The Association of Pet Bereavement Counsellors (APBC) has announced a new partnership with Dignipets, a network of independent veterinary professionals providing at-home hospice and end-of-life care for pets.

The collaboration aims to improve access to bereavement support by connecting counsellors with veterinary services supporting pet carers during end-of-life care.

What the partnership involves

Under the partnership, pet carers will be able to access qualified bereavement counsellors through the Dignipets Pet Loss Support Network and mobile application.

The integration brings together:

• Veterinary professionals providing end-of-life care
• Specialist counsellors trained in pet bereavement support

The intention is to offer a more connected support system during and after a pet’s final stages of life.

About the organisations

The Association of Pet Bereavement Counsellors (APBC) provides access to trained counsellors specialising in pet loss and grief support.

Dignipets works with independent veterinary professionals offering hospice and end-of-life care for pets in a home setting.

Through this partnership, bereavement support is positioned alongside veterinary care, rather than as a separate service.

Accessing support

Pet carers can access bereavement support through the Dignipets Pet Loss Support Network, including via its mobile app.

This allows users to connect with qualified counsellors as part of a wider support system around end-of-life care.

Why this matters

End-of-life care for pets often involves both practical and emotional support needs.

This partnership reflects a growing focus on integrating welfare, veterinary care, and emotional support services to better support pet carers during bereavement.
