About Pawthologie

Pawthologie was created for the kind of love that changes you, and the kind of grief that follows when that love has no place left to go.

For many of us, our animals are not “just pets.” They are companions, protectors, emotional anchors, witnesses to our lives, and in many ways, pieces of our own hearts walking around outside our bodies. When they leave, the world can feel suddenly unfamiliar, quieter, and painfully incomplete.

As a veterinary professional and lifelong animal lover, I have seen both sides of this bond. I have watched the devotion people give to their animals, the bravery it takes to make end-of-life decisions, and the silent suffering that often follows when the world expects you to “move on” too quickly. I have also experienced how deeply animals shape us, heal us, and become part of our identity.

Pawthologie exists to honor that relationship.

This is a space for those navigating:

• The rawness of recent loss

• The anticipatory grief of an approaching goodbye

• The guilt and questioning that can follow euthanasia

• The ache of a home that no longer sounds the same

• The longing to feel close to a soul who has crossed over

Here, your grief is not minimized.
Your bond is not dismissed.
Your love is not treated as something temporary.

We blend psychology, compassion, spirituality, and the deep understanding that attachment to animals is real, biologically and emotionally. Whether you are seeking comfort, education, validation, or a way to memorialize the life that meant so much to you, Pawthologie is meant to feel like a sanctuary.

A place to remember.
A place to feel.
A place to heal at your own pace.

Because love does not end when a heartbeat stops.
It simply learns a new way to exist.
