When you are taking care of an ill or aging pet, it is easy to see yourself just as a caregiver and forget your loving personal relationship. Take some time to remember who you are and not define yourself simply by the tasks you do.

If you are a senior who is concerned about what will happen to your pet should you need to move to assisted living or a care facility, there are options available to keep your pet with you.

Remember and celebrate your beloved pet in spirit at Brighthaven’s online monthly Rose Ceremony. The event is always free and open to everyone.

🌹 June Rose Ceremony 🌹

Some bonds never really leave us. They soften into memories, quiet signs, familiar routines we still catch ourselves expecting, and love that continues to live in the spaces they once filled. 🤍

This June, we gather again for our Rose Ceremony — a gentle online remembrance for the animals who shaped our hearts and changed our lives forever. Whether your beloved companion passed recently, years ago, or is currently nearing their transition, you are welcome here. This is a space where grief is honored, stories are held tenderly, and love is allowed to keep blooming.

If you’ve been carrying your loss quietly, perhaps this can be your reminder that you do not have to hold it alone. Light a candle. Bring a photo. Whisper their name. Come exactly as you are. 🌹

Conventional veterinarians treat kidney disease with drugs. Nothing is recommended for prevention, repair and regeneration.

The Full Moon can Bring you the Blues
As a veterinarian for over 50 years,
Around the Full moon, especially the week before and a little after…..
