At Home Euthanasia
A peaceful farewell in the comfort of home
Saying goodbye to a beloved pet is one of the hardest moments a family faces. Our at home euthanasia service allows your companion to pass gently and peacefully in the place they love most, surrounded by family, without the stress of a clinic visit. We move at your pace and honour your need for time and space.
Quality of Life Consultation
Helping you know when it's time, without pressure
When your pet is ageing or living with a serious illness, it can be hard to know whether their quality of life is still good enough. This consultation is a calm, unhurried conversation and examination at home, where our vet assesses your pet's comfort, dignity, and day-to-day experience, and helps you decide what the right next step looks like. For some families that's palliative care to keep their pet comfortable for longer; for others, it's the clarity that it's time to say goodbye.
At Home Consultation
A thorough at-home assessment, whether for a routine check-up or a specific concern.
An at-home veterinary consultation is an appointment to assess your pet's health, whether it's a routine preventive check-up to catch early signs of disease, or a specific concern such as illness, injury, behavioural change, or ongoing medical management. We bring the full examination to your home, calm, unhurried, and away from the stress of a clinic, and finish with an individualised plan for treatment or ongoing wellness.
Palliative Care
Ongoing care and comfort for pets living with chronic illness
When a cure is no longer the goal, quality of life becomes everything. Our palliative care service focuses on maintaining comfort, maximising wellbeing, and supporting both your pet and your family through a serious or ongoing illness. We partner with you to create a personalised care plan that evolves with your pet's needs.

What Families Are Saying
Trusted by Melbourne pet owners for compassionate at home care.
“We lost our beautiful Lily of 19 years. Jina was amazing from initial phonecall to the aftermath of losing her. Sensitive, caring and so very gentle. It was a massive comfort that I could say goodbye to her in the comfort of her home and surrounded by the ones that loved her and who she loved. Thank you so much to the whole team. The care didn't stop on that day. The check in after was appreciated.”

“Jina was amazing. We moved house and our poor cat Pavlova just wasn't loving things. Jina talked us though what could be causing his stress levels and recommend a few different options to get him back to his old self. Pav is now back bossing the household like old times. Thanks Jina”

“Dr Jina was very compassionate in her care for Bruce (our cat) at our home. Bruce is 17yo and usually very stressed when going to the Vet, making it difficult to have a proper examination. We booked a Quality of Life consultation, and Bruce is now on medication and his health has improved. At Home Vetcare was a great solution, and we were very happy with his care (and follow up).”

“Dr Jina and AHV were great to deal with. They called to confirm the details before the appointment, kept me informed of arrival time and treated our cat with great care, all whilst dodging claws. Even called a few days later to check in. Would definitely use again and highly recommend.”

“We had such a great experience with the at home visit for our two kittens recently. One of them had a sore eye and Jina was absolutely wonderful, so caring, gentle, and thorough throughout the whole visit. She took the time to explain everything clearly and made us feel completely at ease. This made all the difference as new pet parents. Pickles and Rocket were treated with so much kindness and patience in the comfort of our home. We’re really grateful for the excellent care and would highly recommend this service to anyone looking for a compassionate vet.”
