Frequently Asked Questions
Palliative care focuses on quality of life rather than cure. It manages pain, maintains comfort, and supports both your pet and your family through a serious or terminal illness. It can be provided alongside curative treatment or as the sole focus when a cure is no longer possible.
Palliative care is ongoing support to keep your pet comfortable for as long as possible. Euthanasia is a separate decision made when quality of life can no longer be maintained. Many families use palliative care to support their pet for weeks or months before eventually choosing euthanasia — we support you through both.
Our palliative care home visits start from $179 per visit. A personalised care plan is developed at the first consultation. Costs will depend on the frequency of visits, medications, and your pet's specific needs. We will always be transparent about costs.
Cancer, kidney disease, heart failure, arthritis, neurological conditions, and other serious chronic illnesses. We're experienced with a wide range of conditions in dogs and cats and work to tailor a care plan to your pet's specific situation.
Absolutely — we encourage it. We communicate with your primary vet to ensure your pet's care is coordinated and consistent. You don't need to choose between us.
This depends on your pet's condition and your family's needs. Some pets benefit from weekly visits; others monthly with telehealth check-ins in between. We'll recommend a schedule that makes sense and adjust it as your pet's needs change.
