Opting for euthanasia is always an extremely difficult decision for many pet owners. Knowing that their loved ones wouldn’t be able to survive another surgery, they wouldn’t want their pet to suffer, yet at the same time, don’t want to say goodbye that soon. Pet palliative care offers an alternative for pets whose health problems are not curable, but could still live for some time.

As a type of home service, pet palliative care is more personalised and tailor-made than medical service at pet hospitals. 

We invited Dr Matthew Murdoch from HomeVet to explain what pet palliative care is, and the unforgettable moments in his job. Quality of life is the top priority of his work, so it is far more than prolonging a pet’s life. With proper care, an incurable pet can live in comfort from weeks to years.
