Pet Lighthouse offers independent veterinary consultations tailored for families facing complex health or quality of life decisions for their pets.
We don’t provide treatment or prescriptions, nor do we replace your primary vet. Instead, we enhance their services by delivering valuable pet care advice that empowers you to understand your options, ask the right questions, and make decisions that align with your pet's needs and your family's values.
If you are feeling overwhelmed by a new diagnosis, struggling to assess your pet’s 'good days' versus 'bad days,' or feeling pressured to choose a treatment path that doesn’t resonate with your family's needs, we are here to help.
Dr Caroline Allen, FRCVS is a Fellow of the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons with over 25 years of clinical experience. An expert in animal welfare, she founded Pet Lighthouse to provide independent veterinary wisdom. Caroline offers the unhurried, professional clarity needed to navigate complex health journeys, ensuring every medical decision is rooted in both clinical expertise and deep compassion for the pets and people she serves.
Clarity, compassion, and time — when you need it most.
Most veterinary appointments last around 10–15 minutes, which is rarely enough time to delve into complex diagnoses, treatment trade-offs, or the emotional reality of caring for a sick pet.
At Pet Lighthouse, we offer independent veterinary consultations that act as a pause button in your pet care journey, providing essential pet care advice.
We provide you with:
Time — unhurried consultations where every question is welcome
Perspective — an independent view, free from commercial pressures
Clarity — honest, balanced guidance that considers both medicine and quality of life decisions
We believe in the Art of Veterinary Medicine: merging clinical excellence with empathy, intuition, and deep respect for each pet’s individual story.
