Joint Mediation Session
The primary mediation format. Both parties meet together with a neutral mediator to work through decisions about care, schedules, routines, responsibilities, and transitions - creating humane, workable agreements that support both you and your pet.
Agreement
A written plan documenting the decisions made during your joint mediation session. Helps both parties stay aligned going forward, and can be shared with legal counsel if you are navigating a separation or working with attorneys. It reflects what you agreed to; it is not a legally binding contract on its own.
Pet Mediation Sessions
Pet mediation is the core service offered through The Pet Co-Parenting Lab. It provides a neutral, structured space to make thoughtful decisions about shared pet care.
Individual Preparation Session
A space to get grounded before entering a joint conversation; organizing your thoughts, clarifying what matters most, and preparing for productive mediation.
Follow-Up Sessions
Available if you would like to revisit decisions, adjust routines, or refine your agreement as circumstances evolve. Scheduled as needed to support long-term stability.
Who This Service Is For
Pet mediation is helpful for people navigating shared care in many forms, including:
• Couples separating
• Former partners
• Roommates or friends who adopted a pet together
• Family members sharing responsibility
• Divorcing couples working with attorneys
• Cooperative or contested co-parenting situations
• Anyone seeking clarity and stability around shared pet care

Next Steps
Most clients begin with a Complimentary Consultation to understand whether mediation is the right fit. From there, you will either schedule an Individual Preparation Session or move directly into a Joint Mediation Session if both parties reach out together and communication is already steady.
