  • Pet Palliative Care and Advice in Australia

Pet Palliative care is one option available to some pet owners if euthanasia is proposed as a last resort. While euthanasia for pets is only offered by vets when absolutely necessary, that necessity can often be due to practical or cost reasons, rather than immediate pain.

The decision is the same, and based on the long-term well-being of your pet, but the outcome might be different to if it was medically urgently necessary.

In this case, palliative care and at-home care for older pets is an option. Some providers are listed below, but it is by no means an exhaustive list.
