💝 You love your pet like family 💝
But now, something has changed — and you don’t know what to do next.
Maybe your beloved companion has been slowing down. Maybe the vet just gave you news that left you feeling numb. Or maybe you’ve been managing a chronic condition for months, and you're feeling tired, confused, and alone.
If you're caring for a pet with a chronic, difficult, or life-limiting condition…
You're not alone!
And you don’t have to figure it out by yourself.
Getting Started:
Understanding the Hub & Our Philosophy
What is the BrightHaven Caregivers’ Hub?
The Caregivers’ Hub is a private, supportive online community created for pet parents navigating the challenges of caregiving for aging or seriously ill animals.
Whether you're just beginning to worry about your pet’s health or you're deep in the trenches of daily care, the Hub is here to help you feel more confident, less alone, and deeply supported—every step of the way.
This community was created by BrightHaven, a trusted nonprofit with over 30 years of experience in holistic animal hospice and senior pet care.
Inside the Hub, you’ll find:
- Practical resources to help you manage pain, mobility issues, feeding, and more
- Emotional support and space to share your story without judgment
- Weekly live Q&A sessions with experienced caregivers
- A structured caregiving framework to bring calm to the chaos
- A welcoming, private community of fellow caregivers who truly understand
Why BrightHaven?
Because caring for a pet with a serious diagnosis isn’t just medical—it’s emotional. It’s spiritual. It’s sacred.
For over 30 years, BrightHaven has helped thousands of pet parents and professionals navigate the emotional and practical challenges of holistic animal hospice and senior pet care.
The Hub is co-led by Gail Pope, founder of BrightHaven and pioneer in holistic animal hospice, and Karen Wylie, EdD, Director of BrightHaven Caregiver Academy and a lifelong educator.
Together, their team approach blends decades of hands-on caregiving experience, emotional support, and educational guidance—offering a unique, heart-centered foundation for pet parents navigating serious illness or end-of-life care.
What Makes the Hub Different?
Most online groups are unstructured, overwhelming, and filled with conflicting advice.
The Caregivers’ Hub is different.
We’ve built this community around a unique framework called the Care Wheel—a tool that guides you through every stage of the caregiving journey.
The Care Wheel: Your Roadmap for the Journey
Receive guidance and support from the moment your pet receives a life-changing diagnosis—whether they’re facing chronic, complex, or difficult-to-manage conditions. The Care Wheel guides you through every layer of caregiving: understanding your pet’s diagnosis, managing daily routines, adapting to physical or behavioral changes, and tracking their overall well-being over time.
Just as importantly, it also supports you—with space to process emotions, care for your own health and energy, and make decisions that honor your pet’s needs and your values. Whether you’re problem-solving, planning ahead, or simply seeking clarity and calm, the Care Wheel helps you stay centered and confident on your caregiving path.
Created by educator and caregiver Karen Wylie, the Care Wheel offers steady guidance—even when emotions are running high.
Every space inside the Hub is structured around a part of this framework, so you’ll always know where to turn for help, clarity, and support.
