WHAT IS A PET CHAPLAIN?
Understanding Animal Ministers and Chaplains
Interfaith animal chaplains provide a
variety of services to their community, including pet loss grief support, memorial services, prayer for animals who are sick or injured, being present at a clinic to comfort the bereaved, and providing support during surgery or euthanasia. Just like other clergy, they try to be there for the cyclical challenges of sharing your life with pets. As we become more and more connected to the animals with whom we share our homes, issues of illness and death become greater matters
of the heart. Sometimes we need support and this is where a chaplain is helpful.
We must collectively elevate our relationships with animals. Not only do they need our prayers and conscious intention to survive and thrive, but we need their wisdom and midwifery to higher realms of divine consciousness and experience, which they offer to us ever so generously. We must all become allies and advocate of Animal Ministry; bringing humans closer to spirit by fostering connections through co-existing and learning from animals.
Pet Chaplains honor the Human-Animal Bond and respect the spiritual nature of that relationship. We provide pet loss grief support from anticipatory grief and help with palliative care using many modalities, to performing memorial services. We can come to a clinic to comfort the bereaved, hold hands (and hearts) during surgery or euthanasia, or perform a memorial service at the client’s home, barn, or in a park. Our philosophy is gentle and respectful, and always tailored to your unique needs.
