The Veterinary Social Worker’s primary roles are to provide emotional support to pet families and staff, short term interventions, and psychoeducational programs. Human support professionals can help a practice with the sometimes-difficult situations that arise when pet families are faced with emotional and/or psychological aspects of life with their pet. Veterinary practices generally handle these well daily. However, there are times when additional expertise could help to share the time burden of these issues. Haven's Tapestry provides grief/loss services specific to pet loss. In addition, services help veterinarians and their staff manage the stresses of pet care and loss.
