Support for Every Step of the Journey
About Us
Pet Pal Professionals provides compassionate emotional and organizational support for pet parents navigating new diagnoses, upcoming surgeries, senior care planning, quality-of-life decisions, and life after loss.
Led by Alyx Schur, LVT, our services bridge clinical understanding with practical organization and steady emotional presence, helping pet parents feel informed and supported.
Our approach is calm, respectful, and centered on thoughtful reflection and clear communication. We do not replace veterinary medical care or licensed mental health services, but rather create a structured, supportive space rooted in lived veterinary experience.
Words from our pet parent community
"Having someone who truly understood both the medical side and the emotional weight of our decision made all the difference. I felt supported, never rushed and deeply cared for during one of the hardest moments of my life."
"Alyx gave me space to grieve without judgement. I felt so seen and heard"
" I didnt realize how much I needed this support until I had it. I am forever grateful for your calm presance and understanding. Brody will be missed forever"
