What to Expect with Gentle Home Goodbyes

Compassionate Guidance

Dr Taylah offers pre-euthanasia guided tele-consultations, helping you explore if the time feels right. She’ll guide you on how to prepare your family, children, or other pets for the day.

Creating Calm

When the time comes, she uses a pre-sedation to help your pet relax and drift into a deep, pain-free sleep before the final procedure.

Gentle Euthanasia

With patience and care, Dr Taylah ensures the process is peaceful, unhurried, and tailored to your pet’s needs.

Keepsakes with Love

Families are offered the choice of beautiful keepsakes, such as a paw print, nose print, and a lock of fur; precious ways to honour your pet’s memory.

Gentle Transfer

If cremation is chosen, your beloved companion is transferred with dignity and gentleness.

Thoughtful Aftercare

Guidance will be offered through aftercare options, including personalised ashes, so you can find what feels most comforting for your family.

Ongoing Support

Her empathy doesn’t stop at the visit - Dr Taylah checks in afterwards, offering care and comfort as you navigate grief.
