"I want to be fair about our pet's custody, but emotions are too high for us to work it out together. Can a professional tell us what arrangement would actually serve our dog's needs?"

"My ex won't agree to mediation about our dog, but I genuinely want to know what's best for him - not just what I want. How can I get professional guidance?"

When relationships end, it's natural to want what feels right for you. But sometimes what you want and what's actually best for your pet are different things. This service helps you understand your pet's perspective when collaborative discussion isn't possible.

I provide impartial professional analysis focused solely on your pet's welfare needs. My recommendations are based on animal behavior principles and what would genuinely serve your pet's best interests - regardless of what either person might prefer.

Professional Consultation: Objective evaluation of what custody arrangement would best serve your specific pet's needs and wellbeing.

Clear Guidance: Written recommendations that help you understand what your pet actually needs, separate from what you might want.

Personal Clarity: Professional insight to guide your decisions and help you advocate effectively for your pet's welfare.

Peace of Mind: Confidence that your decisions are based on your pet's actual needs rather than emotion or conflict.

I assess dogs and cats primarily, with capability to evaluate other companion animals including birds, rabbits, and small mammals. Each assessment considers the specific needs and characteristics of your type of pet.

How This Helps You

Before Negotiations: Understanding what's actually best for your pet helps you approach discussions from a position of knowledge rather than emotion.

Legal Proceedings: If your case goes to court, you'll have professional insight into what arrangement truly serves your pet's welfare.

Personal Decision-Making: Sometimes you need to know the right thing to do, even when it's difficult.

Future Planning: Professional guidance helps you make decisions that will benefit your pet long-term.
