Dr. Jina is a compassionate mobile veterinarian serving Melbourne, with a special focus on end-of-life care, palliative medicine, and helping families navigate some of the most difficult moments with their beloved pets.

Frequently Asked Questions
This is deeply personal. We're happy to discuss your pet's quality of life over the phone or via telehealth to help you feel confident in your decision — without pressure.
Absolutely. Children, other pets, and extended family are all welcome. We create a calm, unhurried environment so everyone can say goodbye in their own way.
We can coordinate private or communal cremation, or provide guidance if you wish to bury your pet at home. We'll walk you through every option.
We do our best to accommodate urgent requests. For planned goodbyes, booking 2–3 days ahead gives us the most flexibility to find a time that works for your family.

Chronic Disease Management / 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 chronic disease management 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.
Behavioural Consultation
Understanding why — and what to do about it
Behaviour problems are one of the leading reasons pets are surrendered or euthanised prematurely. Our at home behavioural consultations assess your pet in their own environment, where problems are most apparent. We identify root causes, rule out medical contributors, and give you a practical, evidence-based plan.
