Our Story

Palliative Paws grew from a passion for providing compassionate, individualised care to pets living with chronic or terminal illness, and throughout their later years. We understand the importance of respect and dignity in the comfort of a pet’s own home. Combining medical expertise with gentle, empathetic care, we help pets remain comfortable, content, and surrounded by love in their golden years.

Our Mission

Based in Melbourne’s south-east, Palliative Paws is dedicated to bringing comfort and peace to pets and their families at home. We believe end-of-life care should be guided by compassion—honouring the bond between people and their animals with understanding, respect, and dignity, so every pet may enjoy their final chapter with grace and love.

Our in-home palliative care services are designed to bring calm, compassionate support to you and your pet’s final chapter. We understand how difficult this time can be, and our goal is to make every moment as comfortable, dignified, and connected as possible. Whether you need help understanding your pet’s quality of life, planning for ongoing comfort, or saying goodbye at home, we’re here to guide you with empathy and gentle expertise.
