Sunset Vets is a specialised palliative care and euthanasia service helping families to access home based care when they need it most.

Just been to the vet but still have questions or concerns about your pet’s medical condition? Perhaps you have one of those cats who has an absolute panic attack at the prospect of a trip in the car? Or are you caring for a cherished family member who is approaching the end of their life?

Our team are committed to supporting pets and their families through these tough times. If you don’t know where to turn in the face of a terminal diagnosis or have noticed your pet is slowing down. We can help. Additionally, if you want to know if anything more can be done to ensure your pet is comfortable, get in touch. Veterinary healthcare is advancing daily – you may be amazed at the amount of options you have.

Our Services Include

In home vet consultations specialising in senior pet health and palliative treatment options for sick patients.
Direct referral to a wide range of allied health professionals, specialists and alternative therapists helping you to access the best care possible for your pet.
Quality of life assessment consultations and pre-euthanasia support.
Assistance with arrangements for cremation services and other preparations for end of life.
Compassionate in home euthanasia services – supporting you through the gentlest of goodbyes when you need us most.

Where to start?

Your pet is unique and so are their needs. And through our many years delivering palliative and euthanasia care we know that every visit is different. With palliative care, some pets need just consultation while others may benefit from many. Furthermore, sometimes our clients are simply looking for grief support or for information to help them be prepared.

Whatever you need we are here to help. Get in touch with our office below and one of our patient care coordinators will help create a plan for you.

Testimonials

Such an amazing, wonderful and supportive team. Saying goodbye to my little girl was hard, but the Sunset team took so much of the burden. They helped arrange cremation at a time when I could barely get 2 words out between sobs and were patient and helpful when I changed my mind about what time I wanted them to come. I will sing their praises until I'm hoarse and will tell everyone I meet.

Absolutely outstanding care, compassion and support given by Dr Jackie and her team! Cannot recommend highly enough. Thank you for making a very difficult time much more bearable with such care :)

Thank you so much for looking after our family so well over the past years. Thank you for helping us through this most difficult decision and process. Your sensitivity and professionalism helped so much. The pain and the emptiness is almost unbearable but we have so very many happy, happy memories to treasure. Guess we'll just have to bring in the mail and the papers ourselves now! With thanks again.

Thankyou doesn't seem enough to convey our heartfelt gratitude for the outstanding care you have given Eddie. Your compassion and support helped us navigate what was for us a truly traumatic day and for that we will be forever grateful. So thankyou to the whole team for everything you have done as well as all the knowledge you have shared which enabled us to give Eddie such a happy and healthy life.

Thank you to the extraordinary team at Sunset Vets who provided a high level of care and compassion when we recently had to say goodbye to our 14-year-old girl, Jewel. Allowing her to go at home in familiar surroundings made the process less stressful for her, our younger dog and ourselves. Special thanks to Ashlee for her compassionate manner on the phone (who arranged this for us at short notice)... and Dr Jan who was gentle and caring when it mattered most. We're grateful you've provided this service on the Sunshine Coast.
