PET MEDIATION
Pet mediation is a guided, neutral process in which parties in conflict work together to find a resolution about pet custody, care, and responsibilities. The focus is not just on legal ownership but on what’s best for the animal’s well-being and what works practically for the humans involved.
While pets may be legally classified as property, we believe the decision about who cares for them should centre on what’s best for the animal’s wellbeing. Our pet custody mediation process helps you make thoughtful, pet-focused decisions, guided by an understanding of animal psychology and behaviour. Through our collaboration with veterinarians, dog trainers, and other industry specialists, we offer you a comprehensive strategy that supports the pet’s needs and those who love them.
When love is shared but life isn’t, who gets the leash?
Who needs Pet Mediation?
You might benefit from Pet Mediation if:
- You’re divorcing or separating and need to agree on who keeps the pet, or how to share time and costs.
- You’re dealing with family disagreements about who should care for a pet after a loved one’s passing.
- You co-own a pet (with a roommate, partner, or breeder) and can’t agree on next steps.
- You want to prevent future conflict with a clear, written Pet Custody Agreement.
- You’re having a neighbourhood conflict over a pet’s behaviour, noise, or safety.
