At home pet euthanasia
in Adelaide

When the hardest day comes, our qualified vets and vet nurses come to your pet's side, at your own pace, in the place they've always called home.

How it works

Our qualified vet nurses are here to help from your first call.

Every family's journey is different. Here's what the next few steps may look like, so you feel informed and prepared every step of the way.

  1. Call one of our vet nurses

    From the moment you reach out, our qualified vet nurses are here to help. With years of clinical experience, they will listen and help guide you on next best steps.

  2. We plan everything together

    We'll arrange a time that suits your family and talk through what to expect, so the visit feels calm and unhurried.

  3. Peaceful home visit

    Your vet arrives quietly, spends time with your pet, and moves at your family's pace, on their favourite blanket, under their favourite tree.

  4. We take care of aftercare

    We handle all aftercare arrangements and logistics with our trusted partners, and offer grief counselling services for your family.

Every call is answered by a qualified vet nurse, not a call centre. Someone who deeply understands what your pet may be going through, can answer your clinical questions honestly, and will gently guide you towards the right next step for your family.

★★★★★

“Recently had no choice but to send our goodest and bestest boy to the land of never ending chicken feet and stick's and we we're lucky enough to have Dr Hannah attend our house to send our boy on his way and all I can say is if anyone doesn't believe in angel's then they've never had the pleasure of having Dr Hannah attend to their needs. Amazing is a gross understatement because not only was she kind caring and unbelievably approachable but she made what in my eyes is the worst feeling in the world bareable and I hope she knows just how valuable and appreciated her work is to ppl like myself. Thankyou so much Dr Hannah you're amazing and you treated Tyson with dignity and respect and I for one will be forever grateful”

“From my initial enquiry via the website page, until our final Saffy farewell, the team were brilliant. They understood the time we needed to think things through and gave us sound logical advice in a thoughtful and helpful way. Every contact we had with the team face-to-face and over the phone was kind and we were shown empathy. The advice given for our Saffy's brother dog was really helpful too. I highly recommend this team.”

“Dr Amanda’s care was nothing but exceptional, she was kind, caring, patient and compassionate. She talked us through every step of the process, and was so gentle towards my darling Bailey. She talked him through everything she was doing to him, even when he was peacefully asleep, showing him the upmost amount of dignity and respect in his most vulnerable moments. I could not recommend Dr Amanda and the Rest your paws service enough. We will be forever grateful for how beautiful and peaceful she made this tragic experience.”

Common questions

The questions families ask us most

Can't find what you're looking for? Call one of our vet nurses on 0422 157 675.

Your vet arrives quietly, introduces themselves, and takes time to meet your pet. Before anything else we sit and talk, asking about your pet's life, their habits, and the stories you'll want to keep. We often bring cake or a cheeseburger, and there is a particular joy in watching a pet who has barely eaten for weeks happily demolish something they'd never normally be allowed. Your vet will explain the process in as much, or as little, detail as you would like, and help you settle your pet wherever they are most comfortable: their own bed, a patch of sun outside, their favourite couch, or your arms. A gentle sedation comes first, to relax them and ease any discomfort. Then, only once you and your family are ready, a final medication lets your pet pass away peacefully within a few minutes. Most visits run 60 to 90 minutes, and nothing is booked behind you to cut it short. The time is yours: to sit with them, to tell stories, to say goodbye at your own pace. If your family would like a small ceremony, we'll guide it. If you'd rather be quiet, we'll follow your lead.
