Euthanasia

We understand that saying goodbye to a beloved pet is an incredibly emotional experience, and we are here to provide compassionate, sensitive support during this time.

At our Hastings clinic, we offer a private, quiet, non-clinical space for euthanasia. Our Somerville clinic, with its new purpose-built facility, will include a dedicated, peaceful space for euthanasias, along with the option for a private garden farewell. At the Balnarring clinic, we ensure a calm and caring environment for your pet’s final moments. We also offer the option of home visits for euthanasia, allowing your pet to pass peacefully in the comfort of their familiar surroundings.

We work closely with local aftercare providers, including Peninsula Pet Cremations and Eden Hills Cremation Services, to offer a range of aftercare options, including home burial, cremation with ashes returned, or non-returned cremation. Our team is here to support you with dignity and care every step of the way.
