Why you should consider a more compassionate goodbye with Pawssum
Understanding Mobile Dog Euthanasia
Deciding to put a beloved pet to sleep is one of the most heart-wrenching decisions a pet owner can make. When that moment arrives, ensuring a compassionate, peaceful, and stress-free experience for your furry friend is paramount. Pawssum’s Mobile dog euthanasia services in Adelaide offer a solution that brings comfort and dignity to this difficult process.
Pawssum’s mobile dog euthanasia provides a service where veterinarians come to your home to perform the euthanasia procedure. This service allows your pet to pass away in a familiar and comfortable environment, surrounded by loved ones. It eliminates the stress and anxiety that can come with a trip to the vet clinic.
Why Choose Mobile Euthanasia?
Comfort and Familiarity
Pets often feel anxious or stressed when taken to a veterinary clinic. By opting for mobile euthanasia, you allow your pet to remain in a safe and familiar environment. This can make the process less traumatic for both the pet and the owner.
Privacy and Dignity
The comfort of your home provides a private setting where you can grieve and say goodbye without the presence of other clients and pets. This privacy can be crucial for those who wish to have a quiet and personal farewell.
Is Now the Right Time to Put My Dog Down?
One of the most challenging aspects of pet ownership is knowing when it’s time to say goodbye. Here are some indicators that might help you make this difficult decision:
Signs to Consider
Quality of Life
Evaluate your pet’s quality of life. Are they in chronic pain? Do they have difficulty moving, eating, or breathing? If your pet’s daily life is filled with more discomfort than joy, it might be time to consider euthanasia. You can use our quality of life calculator below to help you take the first step on understanding your pet’s quality of life.
Veterinary Advice
Remember consulting with your veterinarian is crucial. They can provide professional insights into your pet’s health and help you understand whether euthanasia is the most humane option.
How Much Does Dog Euthanasia Cost?
The cost of dog euthanasia can vary depending on several factors, including the location and the specific service provided. Here’s a breakdown to give you an idea of what to expect:
Mobile Services
Mobile euthanasia services can still be an affordable option while giving you and your beloved pet the comfort of being in your own home.
Additional Services
Some additional services that we provide are cremation, memorial keepsakes, and a full range of aftercare services to make sure that you can focus on grieving. These services can add to the overall cost but may provide significant emotional value.
General Cost Starting from $399
In Adelaide, Pawssum’s at-home euthanasia service costs from $399. Our price is competitive and often below that of competitors. This price can vary based on the size of your dog, the specific provider, and any additional services you opt for. You can find our more about pricing here.
Compassionate Care: What to Expect
When you choose mobile euthanasia, you can expect a process designed to be as gentle and compassionate as possible. Here’s what typically happens:
The Initial Consultation
Your veterinarian will begin with a consultation to discuss your pet’s condition and explain the euthanasia process. This step ensures you are fully informed and comfortable with the procedure.
The Procedure
The veterinarian will usually administer a sedative to help your pet relax and fall asleep. Once your pet is peacefully sedated, the euthanasia solution is given. This process is painless and allows your pet to pass away peacefully. It’s up to you about where you would like it to be done. You might even choose to hold your beloved dog or even in their favorite spot in the house.
Aftercare – What happens after euthanasia
After the procedure, the veterinarian will discuss aftercare options, which may include cremation or burial. They will also provide support and resources to help you through your grieving process.
Choosing the Right Service in Adelaide
Selecting the right mobile euthanasia service is crucial. Here are some tips to help you make an informed decision:
Research and Reviews
Pawssum has been trusted by more than 195,000 pet owners in Adelaide and Australia-wide and we have 850 positive Google reviews because we care about you and your best friend.
Professionalism and Compassion
All of our vets are experienced and licenced. We never push you or put you in a position to make a decision that you are not comfortable with. We’re all pet lovers too and we understand what you are going though.
Conclusion
Deciding to euthanize your dog is never easy, but mobile dog euthanasia services in Adelaide can provide a compassionate and dignified way to say goodbye. By understanding the process, evaluating your pet’s quality of life, and choosing the right service, you can ensure that your beloved pet’s final moments are peaceful and surrounded by love.
If you are struggling with this decision, consider reaching out to a mobile euthanasia provider in Adelaide. They can offer the support and information you need during this difficult time.
Remember, the ultimate goal is to provide your pet with the most humane and compassionate care possible. Your pet has given you a lifetime of love and companionship, and they deserve a peaceful and dignified farewell.

…
I was extremely impressed with PAWSSUM from start to finish. Maisie is a very anxious dog who shakes uncontrollably when she visits the vet, so I thought I’d give this a try for her vaccinations, and WOW what a difference. Maisie was super relaxed and didn’t even notice her first injection.
The vet was so calm and gentle and took her time so Maisie could sniff around, I was surprised when Maisie lay right down beside her! As an extra they do a health check including, teeth, ears etc
The booking was simple, within minutes of requesting an appointment online, I was called to confirm my needs and a vet was found on the day and time I requested. I had reminder texts, and a follow up on the day. PAWSSUM was extremely proficient, punctual and proactive in finding a vet to suit the day/time I needed. I will definitely be using them for her next vaccinations, the difference in Maisie’s demeanour was incredible and that made me so much more relaxed and happy. Thank you PAWSSUM ! 🐾 🐶

Doctor/dogtor Stuart has seen my dogs twice now and both times has been fantastic with them.
He’s very gentle and patient with them which I really appreciate.
I’m sure it’s not easy having to work off customer’s kitchen benches and not have things like X-rays available to use. But Dr Stuart did an amazing job examining my little girl last night and ran through every thing that could be wrong with her. He provided me with some medication and she’s much better today.
I can’t thank him and Pawsum enough 🙂

Stephen made us feel confident that the time was not just yet and gave him some medicine and made us feel very well informed. This is the best service and one where there is less stress on your dog as opposed to going to a Vet onsite. Thank you Stephen great visit and we really appreciated it.

My beautiful boy Wolf, suddenly became acutely ill on a Sunday lunchtime he began to vomit and have diarrhea, due to location of where we live and being a Sunday my local vet was closed and closest emergency vet wanted me to wait. For this reason I did a quick search and found Pawssum. It was a quick and easy process and within 2 hours the vet had come to our home, helped my wolf. Wonderful vet and wolf is on the mend and back to his happy self. Great service, efficient, a trusted process, would highly recommend. Thank you Dr.Beshoy

We could not be happier with Pawssum and Tamara the lovely vet! We were very worried about our elderly great dane and needed vet attention on Christmas morning. The emergency vet clinics we called all said it would be at least a four-hour wait. As our dane was unwell and is a very timid and anxious girl we really had no idea how we were to cope. Then I rang Pawssum who were amazing, sending a fabulous vet to our home just one hour after our call!
Tamara thoroughly examined our dane and also our arthritic pug, diagnosed the issues and gave our dane a pain injection, clipped her toenails, and gave us ongoing medication and scripts for both dogs. They are both so much better and happier and we couldn’t be happier too! Thank you for everything. Pawssum and Tamara will be our first point of call from now on.

I [my fur family] have been a client of Pawssum for some years now, and I can’t fault their caring, kind and wonderfully professional manner with which the vets have provided for my fur family and my human family. I will not hesistate in maintaining our association with Pawssum into the future. To have a vet attend to your beloved fur family members in your home is so much more pleasant than having elderly and/or unwell cats and dogs stressed by leaving their familiar environment and family.

the health check went well as the dogs loved Dr Katie and she was happy to get down to their level. She even managed to clip Jake’s nails which has always been a nightmare in the past.

…
First time I’ve used this service. I had difficulty getting in to see my usual vet and didn’t want to drag all 3 dogs out when I had quite a sick dog (giant breed) dog to manage. I was personally referred to this service by a friend and was not let down. Vet arrived only a couple of minutes late (politely apologised) – who can control traffic. Was gentle and calm with my large dog. Took a great history and the medications prescribed so far have really helped. Will be definitely booking her next appointment with
Dr. Estafanos. He was extremely kind, caring and knowledgeable. Very well priced for the services offered and appointment scheduled at time that suited me. Will definitely use again for my most precious Assistance Dog Miss Coco Chanel!

Pawssum were so awesome when my lovely old GSD was unwell. Unfortunately she’s no longer with us, but I can’t thank the team enough, especially Guy for his assistance when I was really stressed.

Frequently asked questions (FAQs) about dog 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 dog, 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 dog 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.

Pawssum always provides our customers with an itemised invoice which can be submitted to your insurance provider for claims. Please inquire with your insurance to determine whether euthanasia is in your level of cover.
