Passing of Puss
I am very grateful to Pawssum and particularly to the wonderful vet for the peaceful passing of Puss.
Thank you for the respect your service has shown.
The Vet provided, Kate, was amazing. Thank you so much. It made both me and my dog feel comfortable.
Resting peacefully
This is still very raw for me and the tears are still falling, but today my sweet 16 year old Miette ( Mimi) was put to rest after a brave fight with breathing issues.
It was an extremely hard… decision to make as each day Mimi put on a brave face for me and soldiered on despite her discomfort. I think deep down I knew that she probably didn’t have long but I couldn’t let go of my companion of 16 years and hoped for a miracle.So many memories and so many times where Mimi has been my rock through life’s challenges.
Dr Sara was very patient with me,compassionate with a tender heart. Never rushed me.
It couldn’t have been easy for Dr Sara to deal with my breakdown but she was very understanding and went above and beyond to be kind and gentle. Not something I have ever experienced in a veterinary clinic where I am rushed or met with abrupt or an indifferent manner.
Yes, it would have saved a couple hundred dollars to have the service done at a veterinary clinic but I don’t regret doing the right thing by Mimi…..and that was to keep her comfortable in her own home environment.
Dr Sara provided a calm peaceful end to Mimi’s suffering and for that I am truly grateful.It is what Mimi deserved.
While I now have to learn to cope with the void in my life , I do feel a great sense of relief in the knowledge that Mimi was very much loved, had an amazing life and is now at peace. Mummy’s good girl has earned her rest . Miss you forever my sweet girl. XXXX Read more “Resting peacefully”
Excellent service
We were very grateful to be able to access this service so that our 17 year old nervous cat could leave us peacefully from her favourite blanket on our bed. Dr Kel was very professional and kind and the whole… process was really well organised including a seamless hand over to the company taking little Cleo away for cremation and return to us in an urn. So much more peaceful than a car trip to a busy vet. Read more “Excellent service”

A comfort at a difficult time

Giving our furkid his wings
We have lost two precious fur babies this year. Dr Tamara allowed them to pass with dignity and care. As hard as this is for any animal lover, it’s soothing and reassuring to let your animal pass in your own… home. We had Charlie for an amazing 18 years, he was 20/21 when he passed over. Our life is so different now and we miss him so much. Thank you Dr Tamara and Pawssum for giving us time to say goodbye, reassure us and treat Charlie with the respect he deserved.

We were given time to say our goodbyes and cuddles then Dr Shadi gently helped our Oz begin his journey over the rainbow bridge. Highly recommend Pawssum vets Read more “Home euthanasia”

Caring and compassionate
I made the heartbreaking decision to send my beautiful little girl over the rainbow bridge. She lived a long life (20 Years), but she was failing in her health due to her age, her mobility and wellbeing, her quality of… life was declining rapidly. I knew it was time, as much as i didn’t want to let her go, I knew i had to make the booking. Knowing that she would be at home, rather than a sterile vet clinic, made the decision that much easier and less stressful for both of us as I was an absolute mess. Julie was very caring and understanding of situation and treated her with respect and care. I booked the appointment at 9:30am for 11am thinking that it may take some time to respond, they contacted me almost immediately to confirm a time which was for 11am and clarify the costs etc. I recommend this service to anyone who, like me is an ugly crier and would have even struggled to drive home, but more importantly who wants to see their loved fur babies to be comfortable at home when they pass.

Euthanasia
Our 20yo cat got terribly unwell and needed to be euthanised on Father’s Day, also a Sunday. The Pawssum team immediately responded and supported us and took care of every aspect including cremation and return. It was especially nice to… also receive the framed paw print, fur clipping and candle as part of the cremation cost.

I found the vet to be very professional and caring.

A peaceful and calm passing
I am so grateful for this service. We said goodbye to our 21 year old cat today at 8.15am this morning (Monday). She went downhill very quickly over late Saturday and Sunday – so sudden that we had no concept… of this when we did the shopping Saturday morning and bought 2 bags of cat litter and her favourite cat food. So lunchtime Sunday I was suddenly contemplating how i was going to get her through to Monday morning when I’d need to get a vet appt, not thinking that a group such as Pawssum would be available for bookings 7 days a week. So when I found them online and phoned on Sunday, the contact and confirmation was so efficient and quick, the pricing clearly explained and we had an appointment booked in for 8.15am for the following morning. Dr Kel was lovely and fantastic and arrived on time. We were able to keep our cat quiet and undisturbed with no distress- i stayed nursing her in a blanket on the lounge while Dr Kel administered the drugs and she quietly went to sleep. i really could not have wished for a better end of life. If we had had to take her to the vet there would have been distress with the different smells, going out into the cold weather. She was able to die peacefully at home, snug and warm in her blanket and just lots of love surrounding her. I can’t recommend them more highly. Read more “A peaceful and calm passing”
Excellent and professional
Our beloved cat was very Sick but we were not ready for euthanasia, we were offered a Quality of life check with the option to proceed further once a vet came out.

Dr Stuart
Sadly….Dr Stuart Brisbane has had to attend our home twice within the last five months to send two of our seventeen year old babies on to a better place. While this is one of the hardest decisions we make in… life, more than anything we want the transition to be stressless for them. Dr Stuart thank you so much from the very bottom of my heart for your empathy, compassion, respect and kindness…..not only to me, but more importantly to both Kitten and Pai. I’m going to have to make the same decision again at some point in the future for my third baby who is also now seventeen…..so Dr Stuart we will meet again, because quite frankly I wouldn’t trust another soul with something this momentous.

The Vet who attended was the nicest most compassionate vet I had seen in years.
Thank you for making goodbyes more peaceful
Tiger had been diagnosed with severe liver disease a few weeks earlier and declined rapidly. I knew that I had to make that call to end her suffering but it was bothering me as she was terrified of car trips… and going to the vets, I really didn’t want her last moments being stressed and scared, which was why I ended up googling other options and found Pawssum. The lady I first spoke to was lovely and whilst being respectful of it being a heartbreaking time she was really good about making sure I knew all upfront costs and details before locking in an appointment. Dr Stephen Bennett came that afternoon, he didn’t rush anything, instead he sat down and patted Tiger for a little while whilst discussing the procedure with me. He was happy for me to be cuddling Tiger when he administered the injections, and was patient with me giving her some last cuddles and allowed me to carry her out and put her body into his car. The whole procedure was outside on our deck which was Tiger’s favourite place, so whilst still heartbreaking, I was really glad it could be done in a place where she was at peace. Thank you guys for being lovely, and hopefully the next time I use your service it’s for happier purposes. Read more “Thank you for making goodbyes more peaceful”

I had to make a decision to have my beloved cat Coco aged 21 years put to sleep due to deterioration of her health which happened unexpectedly; something I had been dreading for quite a while considering her age.

Dr Bahaa was also very professional, understanding, caring and compassionate with my pet during the whole procedure, and with me, explaining everything that I could expect as he put Coco to sleep, in a quiet unrushed and peaceful manner. I am so glad that I chose to say goodbye to my pet this way, as she had quite a timid character, but she went to sleep peacefully on my bed with her blanket and me by her side in her own surroundings.

This was the best farewell I could give my cat and have already told all my pet owning friends… about this service. For my cat to die at home in her bed without having to drag her to the vet was worth it. Thank you to everyone involved for being kind and caring. Read more “Thank you”

Caring Service
We couldn’t have asked for a more caring vet at this very sad time. He was on time and very empathetic. We would definitely recommend this service.
Our best little mate
Pawssum provided excellent customer service. They were easy to get hold of and their communication in organising matters was seamless. The appointed vet, Dr Callie, was lovely and very efficient.
Thank you Dr
I could not have wished for a kinder, more gentle send-off for our beautiful Bengal, Nina. Dr Shadi was compassionate, explained the process clearly to us, and was kind and gentle with our little girl. She was treated with love,… care and dignity, quietly going to sleep with a sedation before being euthanised. I’m so pleased we had this done at home, as Nina was able to drift off to sleep in the comfort of her favourite place. She deserved no less. Thank you, Dr Shadi and Pawssuum.

Resting peacefully
This is still very raw for me and the tears are still falling, but today… my sweet 16 year old Miette ( Mimi) was put to rest after a brave fight with breathing issues.
It was an extremely hard decision to make as each day Mimi put on a brave face for me and soldiered on despite her discomfort. I think deep down I knew that she probably didn’t have long but I couldn’t let go of my companion of 16 years and hoped for a miracle.So many memories and so many times where Mimi has been my rock through life’s challenges.
Dr Sara was very patient with me,compassionate with a tender heart. Never rushed me.
It couldn’t have been easy for Dr Sara to deal with my breakdown but she was very understanding and went above and beyond to be kind and gentle. Not something I have ever experienced in a veterinary clinic where I am rushed or met with abrupt or an indifferent manner.
Yes, it would have saved a couple hundred dollars to have the service done at a veterinary clinic but I don’t regret doing the right thing by Mimi…..and that was to keep her comfortable in her own home environment.
Dr Sara provided a calm peaceful end to Mimi’s suffering and for that I am truly grateful.It is what Mimi deserved.
While I now have to learn to cope with the void in my life , I do feel a great sense of relief in the knowledge that Mimi was very much loved, had an amazing life and is now at peace. Mummy’s good girl has earned her rest . Miss you forever my sweet girl. XXXX Read more “Resting peacefully”

We were very grateful to be able to access this service so that our 17… year old nervous cat could leave us peacefully from her favourite blanket on our bed.

Caring and compassionate
I made the heartbreaking decision to send my beautiful little girl over the rainbow bridge.… She lived a long life (20 Years), but she was failing in her health due to her age, her mobility and wellbeing, her quality of life was declining rapidly. I knew it was time, as much as i didn’t want to let her go, I knew i had to make the booking. Knowing that she would be at home, rather than a sterile vet clinic, made the decision that much easier and less stressful for both of us as I was an absolute mess. Julie was very caring and understanding of situation and treated her with respect and care. I booked the appointment at 9:30am for 11am thinking that it may take some time to respond, they contacted me almost immediately to confirm a time which was for 11am and clarify the costs etc. I recommend this service to anyone who, like me is an ugly crier and would have even struggled to drive home, but more importantly who wants to see their loved fur babies to be comfortable at home when they pass.

A peaceful and calm passing
I am so grateful for this service. We said goodbye to our 21 year old… cat today at 8.15am this morning (Monday). She went downhill very quickly over late Saturday and Sunday – so sudden that we had no concept of this when we did the shopping Saturday morning and bought 2 bags of cat litter and her favourite cat food. So lunchtime Sunday I was suddenly contemplating how i was going to get her through to Monday morning when I’d need to get a vet appt, not thinking that a group such as Pawssum would be available for bookings 7 days a week. So when I found them online and phoned on Sunday, the contact and confirmation was so efficient and quick, the pricing clearly explained and we had an appointment booked in for 8.15am for the following morning. Dr Kel was lovely and fantastic and arrived on time. We were able to keep our cat quiet and undisturbed with no distress- i stayed nursing her in a blanket on the lounge while Dr Kel administered the drugs and she quietly went to sleep. i really could not have wished for a better end of life. If we had had to take her to the vet there would have been distress with the different smells, going out into the cold weather. She was able to die peacefully at home, snug and warm in her blanket and just lots of love surrounding her. I can’t recommend them more highly. Read more “A peaceful and calm passing”

Home euthanasia for Poppy

Thank you for making goodbyes more peaceful
Tiger had been diagnosed with severe liver disease a few weeks earlier and declined rapidly.… I knew that I had to make that call to end her suffering but it was bothering me as she was terrified of car trips and going to the vets, I really didn’t want her last moments being stressed and scared, which was why I ended up googling other options and found Pawssum. The lady I first spoke to was lovely and whilst being respectful of it being a heartbreaking time she was really good about making sure I knew all upfront costs and details before locking in an appointment. Dr Stephen Bennett came that afternoon, he didn’t rush anything, instead he sat down and patted Tiger for a little while whilst discussing the procedure with me. He was happy for me to be cuddling Tiger when he administered the injections, and was patient with me giving her some last cuddles and allowed me to carry her out and put her body into his car. The whole procedure was outside on our deck which was Tiger’s favourite place, so whilst still heartbreaking, I was really glad it could be done in a place where she was at peace. Thank you guys for being lovely, and hopefully the next time I use your service it’s for happier purposes. Read more “Thank you for making goodbyes more peaceful”

Dr Bahaa was also very professional, understanding, caring and compassionate with my pet during the whole procedure, and with me, explaining everything that I could expect as he put Coco to sleep, in a quiet unrushed and peaceful manner. I am so glad that I chose to say goodbye to my pet this way, as she had quite a timid character, but she went to sleep peacefully on my bed with her blanket and me by her side in her own surroundings. Thank you so much for helping to make this just a little easier to bear. Read more “Caring and Compassionate”
a very special vet
Thank you for the very prompt service you provided from the time of calling at… 4.30 on a Friday night all involved were here in a very short time. It was a difficult decision for us but what a wonderful
person Dr Liyan was she made the entire process easier with her kindness and compassion and we are so thankful to her. Our little Missy was over 20 years old so such a sad time for our family. The pet funeral man was so gentle and respectful. As we have never been through this before we cannot thank you enough for the service you provided. Thanks again Jerry and Lindee Read more “a very special vet”

I could not have wished for a kinder, more gentle send-off for our beautiful Bengal,… Nina.

Not sure it's time?
Quality of life assessment
If you are not sure that it's time for euthanasia, you can book a quality of life assessment. Our friendly and compassionate vet will assess your pet’s vitals, overall condition, levels of pain, discomfort, mobility, illnesses, and any other welfare related issues. They will also be able to advise you about whether your cat is suffering or not. You will get all the information you need to do what’s right for your best friend.
TelePet video call or chat
You can also use our TelePet video call or chat service to talk to one of our experienced and trusted vets who can guide you on whether it's time to consider an end of life service. It's convenient, costs only $69, and our vet will address any concerns you may have.
We believe in value for money
The cost of an at-home compassionate euthanasia by one of our professional and caring vets starts from $399.
The value in our visiting vets is that your cat gets the best, most personalized care at your home - surrounded by the people it loves, and who love it.
Frequently asked questions (FAQs)
Ask the vet any questions you have, so that there are no surprises, including how to make it as compassionate as possible. Decide on whether you and your family want to be present and make sure everybody knows what will happen.
It is very important to celebrate your pet's last days - whether it’s a trip to its favorite park or one last photo, surround it with love, care and joy one last time.
Everybody will be grieving, so be prepared for that time and put in place a support mechanism for this.
Choosing to stay will give you a sense of comfort, closure and acceptance, and a healthy ground for the grieving process. It's important to avoid feeling regret.
However, some owners prefer to say goodbye before the euthanasia and that's also ok.
In term of children, you need to carefully consider if they are old enough to comprehend the concept of euthanasia, and whether they want to witness it.
