Thinking about using peanut butter to give your dog pills & capsules? Consider trialing small amounts of chunky peanut butter over smooth before you begin. They’ll be accustomed to the chunky bits of peanut in the gob of goo & less likely to notice a pill or capsule.

So many of the families who’ve been in my care through their pet’s end-of-life stay in touch over the years. They share life updates, big & small though there’s no bigger, better one than when they decide—when they’re ready—to welcome a new pet to the family. It’s a huge, huge deal & it’s why it’s so important that pet guardians be well-supported before, during & after a pet’s death.

Most families navigating a pet’s senior or geriatric years are doing it without a clear picture of what’s actually happening — or what’s genuinely possible. They’re managing changes as they appear, making their best decisions with incomplete information, and carrying a low-level worry that rarely gets addressed directly.
​
Working with Telos changes that. Not by removing the uncertainty that comes with an aging pet — that’s real, and it doesn’t disappear. But by giving you the knowledge, the framework, and the ongoing support to meet it with confidence rather than dread.

Noticing changes in your senior pet but not sure what to do? Telos's Core Support Plan provides the expert guidance & support your family needs most.
