毛聊 Petalk

by Wong Hoi Shing, Dicky

Life and death is an experience that must be faced in life, and it is inevitable. This is true for humans and the same as pets. To face the grief of pet loss, we must know how to deal with three significant issues about pets:

  1. Disenfranchised grief

  2. Pet euthanasia

  3. Short life

Petalk is a platform that can help to deal with these three issues. This platform will increase the opportunities for people to communicate with each other and get to know people who are unfamiliar but have the same feelings. The following are the key functions of this mobile application:

Petalk — You can use this function to find support from people who also have the same experience. By becoming a TRUSDY, you can deepen your understanding of people with common ideas, conduct face-to-face interactions to deepen mutual understanding and trust.

The Quality of Life Scale — A scale designed by American pet experts to measure pets’ quality of life. It helps pet owners and veterinarians think more comprehensively when facing euthanasia.

Petwish — Use the popular “bucket list” among humans to apply to pets. Doing the items on the list together between the owner and the pet can leave good memories for them and it can also reduce regrets after pet loss.

生離死別是人生必須面對的經歷,對人和寵物亦一樣。面對寵物離世的痛苦,首先要懂得處理三件關於寵物的事:

  1. 不被認可的哀傷

  2. 安樂死的決擇

  3. 短暫的生命

「毛聊」是一個有助處理此三大問題的平台。

主要功能有:

Petalk—透過此功能,來尋找陌生但擁有相同感受的人,互相支持來減輕情緒問題。亦能透過成為TRUSDY,加深認識有共同理念的人,進行面對面的互動加深彼此認識和信任。

The Quality of Life Scale —量度寵物的生命質素,有助主人和獸醫面對安樂死時有更全面的思考。

Petwish—利用人類的「遺願清單」應用到寵物身上,計劃和寵物一起達成目標,減少對寵物離世的遺憾。
