Saying goodbye to a beloved pet is never easy and we understand how difficult this decision can be. Our team is here to support you with empathy, respect, and gentle care every step of the way - for both you and your pet.

What Is Euthanasia and How Is It Done?
Euthanasia is the peaceful, pain-free process of ending a pet’s life to relieve suffering. Our team takes great care to ensure this is a calm and dignified experience for all involved.

​

A sedative can be given beforehand, either at your request or if the veterinarian feels it is in your pet’s best interest. This helps them feel relaxed and comfortable.

 

An intravenous catheter is placed in your pet’s foreleg to allow access to a vein. Once you are ready, the vet will administer the euthanasia solution through the catheter. The injection works within seconds, and your pet gently drifts off without pain or distress.

 

You are welcome to remain with your pet throughout, or say goodbye beforehand — whatever feels right for you.

 

Aftercare Options
We offer several aftercare options and will guide you through them when the time comes:

​

• Home Burial: You are welcome to take your pet home for burial. We provide a biodegradable calico bag at no cost. If you wish, we can also take a paw print and a lock of hair as a keepsake free of charge.

• General (Group) Cremation: Your pet will be cremated respectfully with other animals. A paw print and lock of hair will be mailed to you, but ashes are not returned.

• Private Cremation: Your pet is cremated individually, and their ashes are returned to you in your chosen vessel. Options include urns, keepsake boxes, memorial stones, or jewellery. A paw print and lock of hair are also included.

​

*We use Patch & Purr (https://patchandpurr.com.au) for our cremation services; however if you have an alternate preferred company, we are always happy to contact them and organise on your behalf
