Your pet may be elderly, or suffering from illness or age-related conditions such as arthritis. The most important thing we want for our pets is a good quality of life. If you have questions or doubts, Dr Vic is always happy to talk these through with you.

Euthanasia — sometimes referred to as crossing the Rainbow Bridge, transitioning, or putting to sleep — is one of the hardest decisions a pet owner may ever face. Yet, when a pet’s quality of life has diminished, it can also be the most compassionate choice to prevent further suffering.

Dogs and cats, in particular, can become very anxious when visiting a veterinary clinic. That’s why at-home euthanasia is often the kindest option. To minimise stress, Dr Vic always provides gentle sedation before the process, ensuring your pet remains calm, comfortable, and able to pass peacefully at home, surrounded by family.
