Memories last a lifetime, and they’ll always live on in a special place in our heart. Bespoke aftercare is available, with cremation, personalised memorial services and handcrafted keepsakes to honour and preserve the cherished memories of your loved one.

Dr. Laurel

Founder & Head Veterinarian

Laurel has been a small animal vet for over 10 years and is passionate about animal care. It wasn’t until her own dog became unwell that she recognised the true blessing of being a vet - being able to provide loving hospice and ultimately, let her sweet girl pass peacefully and painlessly out in the sunshine in the backyard, with family all around.

She started Hold My Paws out of a hope to give other pets the same gentle passing, and their human companions the same chance to say goodbye on their own terms, creating indelible memories of the final moments with their beloved furred family member.

She is also Low Stress Handling Certified and mother to 3 cheeky birds.
