I had Subie for 19 years, and I wanted nothing but the best I could give him.
Dr.Beshoy is a very caring, gentle and quietly spoken man. I made the hardest decision of my life for Subie and I was worried I was doing the wrong thing, Dr Beshoy checked my ginger boy and said it was the best thing for Subie. Dr Beshoy went into great detail to explain the steps of the procedure for Subie.
We said our goodbyes to Subie with no rush, then I held and patted Subie during the procedure.
DrBeshoy then let us have time with Subie and once finished the farewell, he asked for something to wrap Subie with. So his favorite blanket was used, and one he was wrapped I carried Subie to the doctors car.
DrBeshoy is very professional, and through the whole thing he was speaking to Subie.
Thank you for all your great service from start to finish

This was the second time using Pawssum to say goodbye to our second cat, Lionel, brother of Stanley who we had to say good-bye to in late January this year. We were very fortunate to have the same vet, Dr Stephen who showed great care and compassion whilst we said good-bye to Lionel. He made the whole process a little bit easier.
Thanks to the team at Pawssum from making the initial call in what was a very difficult time.

This is still very raw for me and the tears are still falling, but today my sweet 16 year old Miette ( Mimi) was put to rest after a brave fight with breathing issues.
It was an extremely hard decision to make as each day Mimi put on a brave face for me and soldiered on despite her discomfort. I think deep down I knew that she probably didn’t have long but I couldn’t let go of my companion of 16 years and hoped for a miracle.So many memories and so many times where Mimi has been my rock through life’s challenges.
Dr Sara was very patient with me,compassionate with a tender heart. Never rushed me.
It couldn’t have been easy for Dr Sara to deal with my breakdown but she was very understanding and went above and beyond to be kind and gentle. Not something I have ever experienced in a veterinary clinic where I am rushed or met with abrupt or an indifferent manner.
Yes, it would have saved a couple hundred dollars to have the service done at a veterinary clinic but I don’t regret doing the right thing by Mimi…..and that was to keep her comfortable in her own home environment.
Dr Sara provided a calm peaceful end to Mimi’s suffering and for that I am truly grateful.It is what Mimi deserved.
While I now have to learn to cope with the void in my life , I do feel a great sense of relief in the knowledge that Mimi was very much loved, had an amazing life and is now at peace. Mummy’s good girl has earned her rest . Miss you forever my sweet girl. XXXX

We were very grateful to be able to access this service so that our 17 year old nervous cat could leave us peacefully from her favourite blanket on our bed. Dr Kel was very professional and kind and the whole process was really well organised including a seamless hand over to the company taking little Cleo away for cremation and return to us in an urn. So much more peaceful than a car trip to a busy vet.

I made the heartbreaking decision to send my beautiful little girl over the rainbow bridge. She lived a long life (20 Years), but she was failing in her health due to her age, her mobility and wellbeing, her quality of life was declining rapidly. I knew it was time, as much as i didn’t want to let her go, I knew i had to make the booking. Knowing that she would be at home, rather than a sterile vet clinic, made the decision that much easier and less stressful for both of us as I was an absolute mess. Julie was very caring and understanding of situation and treated her with respect and care. I booked the appointment at 9:30am for 11am thinking that it may take some time to respond, they contacted me almost immediately to confirm a time which was for 11am and clarify the costs etc. I recommend this service to anyone who, like me is an ugly crier and would have even struggled to drive home, but more importantly who wants to see their loved fur babies to be comfortable at home when they pass.

I am so grateful for this service. We said goodbye to our 21 year old cat today at 8.15am this morning (Monday). She went downhill very quickly over late Saturday and Sunday – so sudden that we had no concept of this when we did the shopping Saturday morning and bought 2 bags of cat litter and her favourite cat food. So lunchtime Sunday I was suddenly contemplating how i was going to get her through to Monday morning when I’d need to get a vet appt, not thinking that a group such as Pawssum would be available for bookings 7 days a week. So when I found them online and phoned on Sunday, the contact and confirmation was so efficient and quick, the pricing clearly explained and we had an appointment booked in for 8.15am for the following morning. Dr Kel was lovely and fantastic and arrived on time. We were able to keep our cat quiet and undisturbed with no distress- i stayed nursing her in a blanket on the lounge while Dr Kel administered the drugs and she quietly went to sleep. i really could not have wished for a better end of life. If we had had to take her to the vet there would have been distress with the different smells, going out into the cold weather. She was able to die peacefully at home, snug and warm in her blanket and just lots of love surrounding her. I can’t recommend them more highly.

Tiger had been diagnosed with severe liver disease a few weeks earlier and declined rapidly. I knew that I had to make that call to end her suffering but it was bothering me as she was terrified of car trips and going to the vets, I really didn’t want her last moments being stressed and scared, which was why I ended up googling other options and found Pawssum. The lady I first spoke to was lovely and whilst being respectful of it being a heartbreaking time she was really good about making sure I knew all upfront costs and details before locking in an appointment. Dr Stephen Bennett came that afternoon, he didn’t rush anything, instead he sat down and patted Tiger for a little while whilst discussing the procedure with me. He was happy for me to be cuddling Tiger when he administered the injections, and was patient with me giving her some last cuddles and allowed me to carry her out and put her body into his car. The whole procedure was outside on our deck which was Tiger’s favourite place, so whilst still heartbreaking, I was really glad it could be done in a place where she was at peace. Thank you guys for being lovely, and hopefully the next time I use your service it’s for happier purposes.

I had to make a decision to have my beloved cat Coco aged 21 years put to sleep due to deterioration of her health which happened unexpectedly; something I had been dreading for quite a while considering her age. Pawssum were amazing in organising a prompt house call appointment with Dr Bahaa and the lady I spoke to was very caring and understanding of my stress at the time. Dr Bahaa was also very professional, understanding, caring and compassionate with my pet during the whole procedure, and with me, explaining everything that I could expect as he put Coco to sleep, in a quiet unrushed and peaceful manner. I am so glad that I chose to say goodbye to my pet this way, as she had quite a timid character, but she went to sleep peacefully on my bed with her blanket and me by her side in her own surroundings. Thank you so much for helping to make this just a little easier to bear.

Rusty, our nearly-19 year old beautiful boy was peacefully euthanized by Dr Stewart following illness. From the first phone consultation, the team at Pawssum demonstrated empathy and a very high level of professionalism. Dr Stewart explained the process fully on arrival, provided time for us to process and say goodbye, and ensured our boy was as comfortable as possible throughout. He was kind, efficient and professional and we were very grateful for his approach on the day. Rusty was wrapped in a soft blanket, placed on a cat bed and carried out with care and dignity – thank you, Dr Stewart. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Pawssum to our family and friends.

I had Subie for 19 years, and I wanted nothing but the best I could give him.
Dr.Beshoy is a very caring, gentle and quietly spoken man. I made the hardest decision of my life for Subie and I was worried I was doing the wrong thing, Dr Beshoy checked my ginger boy and said it was the best thing for Subie. Dr Beshoy went into great detail to explain the steps of the procedure for Subie.
We said our goodbyes to Subie with no rush, then I held and patted Subie during the procedure.
DrBeshoy then let us have time with Subie and once finished the farewell, he asked for something to wrap Subie with. So his favorite blanket was used, and one he was wrapped I carried Subie to the doctors car.
DrBeshoy is very professional, and through the whole thing he was speaking to Subie.
Thank you for all your great service from start to finish

…
This is still very raw for me and the tears are still falling, but today my sweet 16 year old Miette ( Mimi) was put to rest after a brave fight with breathing issues.
It was an extremely hard decision to make as each day Mimi put on a brave face for me and soldiered on despite her discomfort. I think deep down I knew that she probably didn’t have long but I couldn’t let go of my companion of 16 years and hoped for a miracle.So many memories and so many times where Mimi has been my rock through life’s challenges.
Dr Sara was very patient with me,compassionate with a tender heart. Never rushed me.
It couldn’t have been easy for Dr Sara to deal with my breakdown but she was very understanding and went above and beyond to be kind and gentle. Not something I have ever experienced in a veterinary clinic where I am rushed or met with abrupt or an indifferent manner.
Yes, it would have saved a couple hundred dollars to have the service done at a veterinary clinic but I don’t regret doing the right thing by Mimi…..and that was to keep her comfortable in her own home environment.
Dr Sara provided a calm peaceful end to Mimi’s suffering and for that I am truly grateful.It is what Mimi deserved.
While I now have to learn to cope with the void in my life , I do feel a great sense of relief in the knowledge that Mimi was very much loved, had an amazing life and is now at peace. Mummy’s good girl has earned her rest . Miss you forever my sweet girl. XXXX

…
I made the heartbreaking decision to send my beautiful little girl over the rainbow bridge. She lived a long life (20 Years), but she was failing in her health due to her age, her mobility and wellbeing, her quality of life was declining rapidly. I knew it was time, as much as i didn’t want to let her go, I knew i had to make the booking. Knowing that she would be at home, rather than a sterile vet clinic, made the decision that much easier and less stressful for both of us as I was an absolute mess. Julie was very caring and understanding of situation and treated her with respect and care. I booked the appointment at 9:30am for 11am thinking that it may take some time to respond, they contacted me almost immediately to confirm a time which was for 11am and clarify the costs etc. I recommend this service to anyone who, like me is an ugly crier and would have even struggled to drive home, but more importantly who wants to see their loved fur babies to be comfortable at home when they pass.

I am so grateful for this service. We said goodbye to our 21 year old cat today at 8.15am this morning (Monday). She went downhill very quickly over late Saturday and Sunday – so sudden that we had no concept of this when we did the shopping Saturday morning and bought 2 bags of cat litter and her favourite cat food. So lunchtime Sunday I was suddenly contemplating how i was going to get her through to Monday morning when I’d need to get a vet appt, not thinking that a group such as Pawssum would be available for bookings 7 days a week. So when I found them online and phoned on Sunday, the contact and confirmation was so efficient and quick, the pricing clearly explained and we had an appointment booked in for 8.15am for the following morning. Dr Kel was lovely and fantastic and arrived on time. We were able to keep our cat quiet and undisturbed with no distress- i stayed nursing her in a blanket on the lounge while Dr Kel administered the drugs and she quietly went to sleep. i really could not have wished for a better end of life. If we had had to take her to the vet there would have been distress with the different smells, going out into the cold weather. She was able to die peacefully at home, snug and warm in her blanket and just lots of love surrounding her. I can’t recommend them more highly.

Tiger had been diagnosed with severe liver disease a few weeks earlier and declined rapidly. I knew that I had to make that call to end her suffering but it was bothering me as she was terrified of car trips and going to the vets, I really didn’t want her last moments being stressed and scared, which was why I ended up googling other options and found Pawssum. The lady I first spoke to was lovely and whilst being respectful of it being a heartbreaking time she was really good about making sure I knew all upfront costs and details before locking in an appointment. Dr Stephen Bennett came that afternoon, he didn’t rush anything, instead he sat down and patted Tiger for a little while whilst discussing the procedure with me. He was happy for me to be cuddling Tiger when he administered the injections, and was patient with me giving her some last cuddles and allowed me to carry her out and put her body into his car. The whole procedure was outside on our deck which was Tiger’s favourite place, so whilst still heartbreaking, I was really glad it could be done in a place where she was at peace. Thank you guys for being lovely, and hopefully the next time I use your service it’s for happier purposes.

Pawssum were amazing in organising a prompt house call appointment with Dr Bahaa and the lady I spoke to was very caring and understanding of my stress at the time. Dr Bahaa was also very professional, understanding, caring and compassionate with my pet during the whole procedure, and with me, explaining everything that I could expect as he put Coco to sleep, in a quiet unrushed and peaceful manner. I am so glad that I chose to say goodbye to my pet this way, as she had quite a timid character, but she went to sleep peacefully on my bed with her blanket and me by her side in her own surroundings. Thank you so much for helping to make this just a little easier to bear.

Rusty, our nearly-19 year old beautiful boy was peacefully euthanized by Dr Stewart following illness. From the first phone consultation, the team at Pawssum demonstrated empathy and a very high level of professionalism. Dr Stewart explained the process fully on arrival, provided time for us to process and say goodbye, and ensured our boy was as comfortable as possible throughout. He was kind, efficient and professional and we were very grateful for his approach on the day. Rusty was wrapped in a soft blanket, placed on a cat bed and carried out with care and dignity – thank you, Dr Stewart. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Pawssum to our family and friends.

Frequently asked questions (FAQs) about cat euthanasia
A familiar environment is so much better for an end of life experience, where your beloved pet is comfortable in their own home surrounded by the people (and other pets) who love them. You can set the day and time when to say goodbye, and do things like light candles and play soft music during the euthanasia. You and your family can grieve in privacy and comfort.
Because we believe that pet owners should have the option of good quality veterinary care at home at little or no extra cost when compared to going to the vet clinic. Our vets are all registered, experienced, professional and compassionate who love to help pets. Our customers give us a superb rating.
Our euthanasia services start from $399. We take credit cards as well as VetPay and ZipPay.
Euthanasia enables your vet to cause a painless death, or to stop providing life-support measures, to your pet. It can be done only by a certified veterinarian, after taking all measures to try to help your cat, and only with your consent.
Signs will include not having an appetite, not being able to walk, yelps due to pain, medications not working, your pet giving up, your pet avoiding its bed and general suffering. If you are not sure that it is time for euthanasia, you can book our Quality of Life assessment or a TelePet video call or chat, and one of our experienced vets will guide you.
It is recommended not to give your cat any food or water two hours before the procedure.
Ask the vet any questions you have, so that there are no surprises, including how to make it as compassionate as possible. Decide on whether you and your family want to be present and make sure everybody knows what will happen.
It is very important to celebrate your pet's last days - whether it’s a trip to its favorite park or one last photo, surround it with love, care and joy one last time.
Everybody will be grieving, so be prepared for that time and put in place a support mechanism for this.

The decision about leaving or staying is deeply personal, and whatever you decide it should come from a place of love and compassion you have for your pet.
Choosing to stay will give you a sense of comfort, closure and acceptance, and a healthy ground for the grieving process. It's important to avoid feeling regret.
However, some owners prefer to say goodbye before the euthanasia and that's also ok.
In term of children, you need to carefully consider if they are old enough to comprehend the concept of euthanasia, and whether they want to witness it.

Euthanasia may appear uncomfortable to the pet owner. However, it will not be painful for your pet. A combination of drugs used during euthanasia ensure that within seconds, awareness is gone and the animal falls into a state of unconsciousness. During the next couple of minutes after the drugs are given there may be nerve and muscle twitching, vocalizations, urination, defecation, and open eyelids - these might be scary to see but your pet will be unconscious and unaware of all of these actions. They will not feel any pain.
Yes we offer a number of aftercare options including gently, carefully and with utmost respect, handling and transporting your pet following euthanasia; cremation with friends (other pets); private cremation; having your beloved pet's ashes scattered in the crematorium gardens; having your pet's ashes returned to you in a lovely container, tube or an urn; paw prints and other memorabilia.
