In-home palliative support and peaceful goodbyes across the Central Coast and surrounds. Every pet deserves comfort, dignity and love—right to the very end.

Because the final days matter most 🕊️🌈💔

14/07/2025

Little hearts break too 💔 And they need our help to make sense of the sadness.

How we grieve teaches our kids how to grieve too.

Saying goodbye to a pet is hard on everyone. Especially little ones.

They may not have the words, but they feel the weight of it.

• Give them permission to feel it all
• Let them ask questions - even the hard ones
• Use clear and honest language (eg "they died" instead of "went to sleep")
• Give them choices about how involved they want to be in saying goodbye
• Read books together about pet loss and grief
• Create keepsakes that hold memories
• Revisit the conversation as their understanding grows

And remember, it’s okay for them to see your grief too. They learn from your honesty and love.

This could help a parent, a teacher, or anyone guiding a child through loss. Share this with them - it might be just what they need right now.

If you’ve been wondering when to have this conversation - this is your sign 👋🏼

If your pet is ageing, slowing down, or living with a chronic illness, you might already be carrying more worry than you realise.

Most regular vets want to help — but their clinics are built for short consults and hospital-style care.

There’s often just not enough time or space for the big conversations.

That’s where comfort-focused vet care comes in.

I offer:
– Long, unhurried home consults
– A personalised comfort care plan
– Navigating treatment and end-of-life decisions together
– Telehealth support and regular check-ins
– Guidance around what to expect
– A familiar, trusted face through it all

It’s not just about medicine.

It’s about making sure you both feel supported — every step of the way.

Let’s talk about what matters most to you and your pet.

❄️Winter Comfort Tips for Our Golden Oldies

If your older pet is stiff or taking longer to get up out of bed this winter, it might not be the cold...

It could be pain.

Cooler weather often flares up sore joints and tired muscles, and our pets are experts at hiding pain and putting a brave face on.

Look for signs like:
• Sleeping more than usual
• Stiffness getting up after naps
• Slower walks
• Struggling with steps

It’s not just ageing. It might be discomfort that can be eased.

Simple changes can help:
• Warm/heated soft beds off cold floors
• Gentle movement to keep joints and muscles moving every day
• Supportive care like nutraceutical supplements
• Integrative therapies like CBD oil
• Pain relief options like tablets/liquid or injectable as needed
• Weight management

If your senior citizen is finding this winter a bit rough, I can come to you and help create a Comfy Care Plan so that you understand your pet's support needs, the options you have, and how you can best support your loved one.

All from the comfort of your own home 🏡🐶🐱

Most vet visits don't involve sombreros - but they should feel this relaxed.

Nova can get a little nervous during vet visits (totally fair, mate)

But thanks to some pre-visit anti-anxiety meds, a sprinkle of kitty crack (aka Churu), his lovely humans cuddling him through the tough moments, and a gentle vet (hiya 👋🏼) — he absolutely nailed his Comfort Care visit. 💛

We took our time. Took breaks when he needed. Let him lead the pace.

And that meant we were able to give him a really thorough senior check, talk through all his care needs, and make a plan to keep him comfy and thriving at home.

✨ I’m a Fear Free Certified Vet
✨ I offer Comfort Care Consults for senior pets — at home, where they feel safest
✨ And I know the difference a calm, kind approach can make — especially for our more sensitive floofs

If your senior pet is living with chronic illness, slowing down, or approaching the end of their journey - you don't have to navigate it alone.

Comfort Care starts with a gentle chat... and maybe a few snacks. I'm here to help, at home.

26/06/2025

If your pet could talk, would they tell you they’re hurting?

Probably not... Pets rarely show pain in obvious ways.

They don’t always cry or limp

Often, they whisper 🤫

• Slower to rise or hesitating on the stairs
• Licking more or avoiding being touched
• Sleeping more
• Hiding away

Cats especially are experts at covering up discomfort.

But those little changes? They matter.

If you’re noticing shifts in behaviour, trust your gut.

This is the time in their life that they can really benefit from your TLC - and there's so much that we can do to make them comfy in these golden years

I offer in-home care to gently assess your pet’s comfort and ease their days.

Slow medicine means taking the time to understand you and your pet's needs, their home environment, personality, and food and activity preferences - so we can co-create a Comfort Care Plan to give them the best

“But they’re still eating…” Isn’t that a good sign?

It can be, but it’s not the full story...

Quality of life isn’t just about being alive: it’s about how our pets are living ☀️

Are they still finding joy in their walks or their favourite sunny spot?

Are they moving comfortably or hesitating more each day?

Are they joyfully seeking out your company or spending more time alone?

These changes can be subtle and easy to second-guess.

That’s where I come in 🐾🩺

I offer gentle comfort care and in-home support to help you understand what your pet truly needs

And when the time comes, I’ll guide you through their final day with kindness and care ❤️

"I wish we’d called you sooner..."

I hear it more than I’d like

Too many families wait until their pet is struggling - when the decline has steepened, and urgent decisions are being made in the middle of the night

But comfort care doesn’t start at the end

It can start weeks or even months earlier

When your pet is still having good days, but you're noticing the changes

When you want support, clarity, a plan

I offer much more than an end-of-life visit

I offer time

Education

Relief

Presence

A gentle, spacious way to walk this road - so you’re not alone, and your pet is supported every step of the way

If your pet is ageing, slowing down, or living with illness, let’s talk now. Not when it’s too late to plan.

09/06/2025

This kind of goodbye doesn’t happen by accident.

B and A shared years of companionship—and in those final chapters, they had the space, trust, and support to make every moment count.

I was lucky to walk alongside them for a long time.

Through check-ins, treatments, conversations, and gentle adjustments, we shaped Archie’s care with his comfort at the centre.

You don’t have to wait until it’s urgent.

If your pet is ageing—or if you’ve started wondering when “old age” becomes something more—I’m here to walk that road with you. Early. Gently. Together.

DM me ‘comfort’ to learn what ongoing care can look like for your senior pet. 💛

We don't wait until we're drenched to wish we’d brought an umbrella ☔

But with our pets, we often wait to talk about palliative care until it’s already pouring — when things are really hard, and decisions feel urgent.

Palliative care (or as I like to call it, comfort care) isn’t just for the very end.

It’s gentle, supportive care that can start earlier — when your pet is still having good days, but the signs of ageing or illness are starting to show.

It might be stiffness. A reduced appetite. Slowing down. Restless at night.

They're not emergencies — but they're signs that a storm might be on the way.

Comfort care is like having that umbrella ready.
And when it does rain — I’ll be there holding it with you.

📩 If you’ve noticed changes and you’re not sure what comes next, reach out.

Let’s talk it through, gently. I’m here to help 💜

Some words stay with you.

A family recently shared this after saying goodbye to their beloved dog — and with their blessing, I’m sharing a little of what they wrote, in the hope it brings comfort to someone else walking a similar path.

To this beautiful family — thank you for the trust, the love you gave your boy, and for allowing me to be part of his journey home.

He was clearly so loved.

If you’re caring for an ageing or unwell pet and don’t know where to begin, please know that support exists.

It doesn’t have to be rushed or clinical. It can be slow, familiar, and full of love — just like they deserve.

Some days their eyes sparkle just like they used to - other days, they barely lift their head 💔

The ups and downs at the end of life can be so confusing — and so heartbreaking.

But they're also normal.

Serious illness doesn't usually follow a straight path. It's messy, full of little rallies and setbacks.

You're not imagining it. And you're not doing anything wrong.

If you're feeling unsure about how your pet is travelling, or just need someone to talk things through with, I’m here.

Reach out anytime 📩
We'll work it out together. 💛

20/04/2025

You love them deeply... and now you're facing the unthinkable.

It's okay to have questions. To feel unsure. To not know when, or how, or what to do next.

You're not alone.

Whether you're wondering if your pet is uncomfortable or distressed, unsure if it's "the right time", or you just need someone to talk to - I'm here.

We'll take it slow. Talk it through. Make a plan that feels right for you and your beloved one.

No pressure. No rush. Just gentle support when you need it most.

If you're sitting with questions or just need to talk it through, please reach out. We can talk it through together.
