You love your pet.
Now comes the hardest part of that love.
Whether they’re aging, declining, or nearing goodbye—
you’ve found the right place.

There's no manual for this.
Â
One day they’re charging up the stairs.
The next, they’re slipping on them.
And suddenly, you're holding questions nobody prepares you for:
What does real comfort look like now?
How do I know when it’s time?
How do I make peace with decisions I never wanted to make?
This is the stretch of love no one talks about.
You’re trying to do right by them — but the line between "still okay" and "time to let go" keeps blurring.
That’s why I started Death Vet.
Right now, that support is the Death Vet Diaries — real-time letters from me to you, every 10 days or so.
In time, it’ll look like a lot more.
I’m Shea — a vet and the human of a deeply weird, deeply loved, 16-ish-year-old greyhound mix named Lollie.
What I offer isn’t answers. It’s orientation.
The kind of practical, clear-eyed support that comes from someone who knows the inside of it — and is walking it, too.

Help through all the hard parts
The Golden Years
Still them. Just... changing.
Helping you help your aging pet feel as good as they can, for as long as they're here.
The Goodbye
When love means letting go.
Helping you see more clearly, weigh the options, and find what’s right for you.
Â
The Support
Because grief is real.
Helping you move through the love, the change, and the loss in your own way, at your own pace.
I'm Shea

Veterinarian. Educator. Advocate for better goodbyes.Â
After helping thousands of families through their goodbyes — and walking my own slow, shifting one at home — I saw what was missing:
Real conversations about death.
Real preparation for what’s coming.
Real support for all the muddy parts.
That's why I started Death Vet —
to help you be there in all the right ways for the ones you love.
Planning for death isn't giving up.
It's showing up.
And I’m here to help you do it well.

Coming Soon
The Death Vet Lounge
A members-only room for steady support through the messy middle.
An intimate, virtual space to navigate the changes, the questions, and the daily realities of living with a declining pet — with real help, real expertise, and real connection from others who are walking this stretch too.
The Lounge is for anyone navigating that space between "still okay" and "hard to say."
To keep the Lounge truly personal, we’re limiting it to just 20 seats.
