Our Story
At The Last Goodbye, we provide gentle, compassionate in-home pet euthanasia in Melbourne’s eastern suburbs, helping families through difficult moments.
About Me
With almost two decades of experience in veterinary care, I provide gentle, compassionate support during your pet’s final moments at home.
Prior to starting The Last Goodbye I spent my time as a small animal locum veterinarian around the Eastern Suburbs of Melbourne. My previous voluntary work includes being the State Volunteer Coordinator and Lead Veterinarian for Pets in the Park and being the Foster Family Coordinator for Amazing Greys Greyhound Rescue.
I provide home pet euthanasia because I’ve seen how deeply comforting it is for families to say goodbye in a familiar, loving space. In those painful moments, being at home allows pets to feel safe, relaxed, and surrounded by the people they love most.
I’m committed to offering a gentle, compassionate experience that honours the bond you share with your pet. By bringing this service to you, I hope to ease the emotional burden, give you time to say goodbye in your own way, and ensure your pet’s final moments are peaceful, dignified, and filled with comfort.
