There is no right or wrong answer when it comes to your pet’s aftercare. It is a very personal decision and we will help you choose the option that is right for you, your family and beloved pet.
End-of-Life Care Service
Your pet will be individually cremated with ashes hand delivered to your home in a personalised memorial keepsake. There are a variety of cremation packages and memorial keepsakes available to suit your wishes.
We can make all arrangements on your behalf as part of our service.
Communal Cremation provides an affordable alternative to Private Cremation. Your beloved pet will be respectfully cremated with other loved furry friends, with no ashes returned.
We can make all arrangements on your behalf as part of our service.
You may choose the option of donating your pet’s remains to The University of Sydney, Veterinary Teaching Hospital to further student education, and make a vital contribution to the training of other passionate veterinarians.
More information about the Animal Donation Program can be found on their website.
The university accepts donations free of charge. If unavailable, there may be an additional charge for our team to transfer your pet into their care.
If you wish to bury your pet at home, please check with your local council to ensure you understand the regulations and legality.
There is also the option to have your pet buried at a pet cemetery which you can arrange independently.

This will depend on your personal wishes. We can arrange to gently and respectfully transfer your pet straight after the euthanasia appointment (with no delay) or you can have all the time you need to say your final goodbyes in the privacy of home and we will be there when you are ready.
At your scheduled visit, the veterinarian will listen to your concerns and explain the process in as much, or little, detail as you would like. We will help you to prepare a space where your pet is most comfortable, whether that means in their bed, lying in the sun outside, on their favourite couch, or in your arms.
Once your pet has settled in their favourite place, a gentle sedation will be given which will relax them and reduce any discomfort they may be feeling. Only once you (your family) and your beloved pet are ready will we give a second medication that will allow your pet to pass peacefully within a few minutes.
You may spend as much time with your pet as needed to say your final goodbyes. We can also make ink paw prints, collect locks of fur or personalise the appointment as you wish. If Rest Your Paws is handling the cremation, we will then gently transfer your pet into our care.
If you feel it may be time, or have already made the decision that euthanasia is the kindest option, please call us to discuss the next step CALL US
