Palliative care
for pets in Bunbury

Expert at-home care to keep your pet comfortable and enjoying their best quality of life through pain management, symptom relief, and comprehensive support for your whole family.

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 assess your pet at home

    One of our vets visits your home to assess your pet and understand their needs. We also coordinate with your existing vet.

  3. We build a care plan together

    A tailored plan covering pain management, medications, and home environment adjustments, specific to your pet.

  4. Ongoing visits and support

    Regular home visits or telehealth rechecks. Medication administration if needed. And honest guidance when things change.

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.

“I can’t thank the team at Rest Your Paws (and Doctor Emerald) enough for making such a difficult time so calm, peaceful and respectful. Having to say goodbye to your best friend is such a difficult thing to do, and thanks to their compassionate service, we have positive memories of the experience. Highly recommend, if you have to make this decision, they’re amazing and caring to work with.”

“I would like to first give thanks to the Rest Your Paws Team. We sent our sweet Fergus across the Rainbow Bridge last night. From the start of the whole process I have received nothing but support and kindness from the whole team. Whether it was discussions over the phone and any email correspondence the compassion and patience was simply lovely. Our vet Dr Michelle was an absolute angel. From the time she walked through our door to when she left, her incredibly calm and sympathetic demeanour, as well as her professionalism and understanding made the whole experience of saying goodbye to our little floof calm and beautiful. While our hearts are heavy for our loss we will be forever grateful to Rest Your Paws for helping us to send Fergus off in such a pain free and loving way.”

“We recently had to say goodbye to our beautiful dog, Betsy, after 16½ wonderful years together. It was one of the hardest things we have ever had to do, but the team at Rest Your Paws made an incredibly difficult time so much easier to bear. From our first phone call with Jade through to the visit from Dr Ash, we were shown nothing but kindness, compassion and understanding. Their care and support allowed us to say goodbye to Betsy peacefully at home, surrounded by love. Although we are completely heartbroken, we are so grateful to have had Betsy in our lives for so many years and deeply thankful to Rest Your Paws for helping us give her the best possible farewell. Thank you for your exceptional care and compassion. We will never forget it.”
