Compassionate In-Home Euthanasia
for Adelaide’s most loved pets
Dr. Henriette or Dr. Belinda providing a dignified farewell for your beloved pet in the comfort of home.
Facing the prospect of farewelling your adored and loyal pet is heart-breaking, but this is sometimes the kindest option for them and a last gift of unselfish love.
Peaceful paws offers:
Personal support right from the first phone call or message. No call-centres, just a compassionate vet that will listen, help you make the decision or book an appointment with understanding.
Adelaide’s most experienced exclusive home euthanasia service. Peaceful Paws was established in 2020, and each of our 2 caring vets have 20 years experience.
In-home euthanasia on your terms. Your pet stays in their favourite spot, no stressful travel or unfamiliar smells. Dr Henriette or Belinda will come to you, creating a calm, peaceful and private environment for a gentle farewell.
If you’re not sure about proceeding with euthanasia, we can offer a Quality of Life consult. This can provide reassurance and guidance as to options going forward.
Prompt appointments and flexible scheduling. Urgent appointments are often available the same day. We aim to respond quickly, because when it’s time, you shouldn’t have to wait.
We can transport your pet with respect and dignity, and organise the whole process of cremation and return or scatter of ashes.
All areas of Adelaide and Fleurieu Peninsula.
Mon-Friday 9-6, but also limited weekend appointments available if needed.
Peaceful Paws Fees are $380 if under 10kg, $400-420 if under 40kg, and $480 if 40kg and above. Private cremation fees are similar to above, or communal cremation is $150-180.
We can service all areas of Adelaide, but beyond our normal travel zone (eg Northern suburbs) there might be a small travel fee. Please contact me for an estimate.
Weekend appointments are available for a $100-$150 surcharge.
