Sunshine Coast Mobile Pet Euthanasia

Personal Peaceful Compassionate Veterinary Care

The Gentle Farewell wants to make your pet’s passing as peaceful, personal and gentle as possible for both you and your pet, by offering pet euthanasia in the comfort and privacy of your own home on the Sunshine Coast.

From the first call to the final farewell, Dr Simonne will look after you, and your pet to ensure a professional, personal and gentle farewell. A trip to the veterinary clinic when your beloved pet is non mobile or in pain can be very challenging and even distressing which is why I come to you.

As the veterinary surgeon, I am available on the phone to answer all your questions and help you through this difficult process. When the time comes, I can offer the gift of gentle, peaceful, professional, at home veterinary euthanasia.

Step by Step

Gentle Guidance

From the first call to the final farewell, experience the caring presence of Dr. Simonne.

Veterinary Home Euthanasia Sunshine Coast

Personal Service

1. One Person

During such a delicate time, it is crucial that you deal with just one person rather than re-explaining your situation to multiple staff members such as receptionists, nurses, assistants, or call centers, and then having a different individual visit your home.Dr. Simonne will never bring any nurses, staff, students, or spectators. Only Dr. Simonne will attend your home, keeping the process private and intimate for you and your pet.

2. Tailored plan

Loss and grief are highly personal for the entire family. At the first phone call, Dr. Simonne will personally answer all your questions, get to know your beloved pet and family, and help create a tailored plan that addresses both your pet’s condition and your family’s preferences. She will visit your home on the Sunshine Coast for the euthanasia consultation and assist with your choice of aftercare. At no time will you be rushed.

3. No corporate or Franchise

The Gentle Farewell is not affiliated with any corporates or franchises, ensuring you won’t be redirected to call centers or required to book online with unfamiliar veterinarians.

No place like home

1. Your pet is most comfortable

Your home is where your pet feels most relaxed and comfortable, especially if their vision is affected, if they are non-mobile, or in pain. At home, you avoid the difficult drive with your fur baby trying to tolerate pain or feeling sick as well as trying to balance with painful arthritic legs.

2. You have privacy to grieve

Home is the place where you can grieve freely and you don’t have to face a reception desk, multiple nursing staff or members of the public in the waiting room.You can then avoid the potentially dangerous, teary drive home without your fur baby.

3. You choose who is present

You can have privacy with your fur baby or you may choose to invite family, friends, and fluffy family members that would not all fit in a normal consult room. You can also include remote loved ones over FaceTime.

4. Your other pets can be present

I absolutely believe and encourage your other pets to be present so they know what happened to their sibling / friend. Your other furry family members will know their friend has been unwell and vulnerable and it can be distressing for their friend to suddenly disappear. Being present allows them to know and help them to grieve too.

5. You choose the setting.

You have the flexibility to choose where on your property your beloved pet makes their final journey—whether it’s in their favorite place or somewhere special to you both.
I am flexible and will accommodate your ideas, whether it’s in the paddock watching the sunset, by candlelight, with favorite music, on the couch, or simply in the morning sun on the verandah. Some families have sung lullabies, or played guitar. It’s your choice how to create a peaceful, personal environment for this journey.

One point of contact, One vet, with you every step of the way

Reach out to me in which ever way is most comfortable to you. I can be contacted by phone 0493 462 893. If it is hard to speak I am also contactable by SMS/text or via the online form.

During the first phone call, I can answer all your questions and learn about your beloved pet and your family, so together we can make a personalized plan that best suits your pet’s condition and your family’s wishes. I will then attend your Sunshine Coast home for the at home pet euthanasia consultation and assist with your choice of aftercare.

Virginie Smolenski

It can be the hardest decision to know when to say goodbye to your beloved friend. Dr. Simonne was unfailingly supportive, kind and reassuring throughout this process. We were lucky to have a few days with Suki to spoil her with love and all her favourite things, as we came to terms with the inevitable. When the day came, Dr. Simonne guided our family and assisted this very loved old girl to a beautiful, peaceful passing. She also helped our children with clear explanations and memorial paw prints. The compassion, experience and understanding she provided made this most difficult of days better, and most importantly, Suki's final moments as calm and full of love as possible. We are eternally grateful. x

Maree

We recently said goodbye to our beautiful dog, Mambo, with the help of Dr Simonne Stewart from The Gentle Farewell. From the moment she arrived, she had such a calm, gentle presence. She made what was one of the hardest days of our lives feel a little easier. Nothing felt rushed or intrusive. She was wonderful with our children and took the time to include our other dog too, which meant a lot to us. Mambo was relaxed in her presence, with no anxiety at all. Saying goodbye was not easy, but Dr Simonne helped make the experience as peaceful and gentle as it could be. We are so grateful for her kindness and care. Thank you. Highly recommend.

Krystal

Dr Simonne is most kind, compassionate and professional. She provided gentle support and a peaceful at-home euthanasia of our beloved cat on a sunny Sunday afternoon in our backyard. It was a beautiful and heartfelt experience we are very grateful for.

Andrea Grech

I am so grateful to Dr Simonne for showing such kindness and compassion with our beautiful Busta. She treated him with such gentle care and explained everything to us every step of the way. It was a difficult day to get through but I’m forever grateful for everything you did.

Kate Filmer

Simonne is patient, kind, professional and understanding. She was kind enough to endure long and hard conversations with me in the months leading up to our final decision. However, the day that we knew we were ready to say goodbye, she dropped everything to be here within hrs. I could not have asked for more at a time like that. Willow was by our sides since our children were 3 and 4 yrs old. For 16.5years Willow was their sister, their joy and their confidant in hard times. Therefore, saying goodbye to her was the hardest thing we have done as a family. It has taken 3 months of walking through the grief to be strong enough to write this. Thank you Simonne for making our goodbye not only bearable, but a precious memory. 🤍🐶✨️

Belinda Ellis

Dr Simonne as soon as she walked in the door we felt completely at ease and knew we had made the right decision to honour the passing of our dear dog. Dr Simonne gave us space and honoured the bond we had with our dog of 13 years. It was the most beautiful experience for saying our farewell. Thank you Dr Simonne for your compassion.

Meg Thomas-Hall

I truly can not adequately express the gratitude I have for Dr Simonne. Her gentle, calm, supportive and nurturing nature was so incredibly appreciated. She showed such tender kindness to our treasured baby girl yesterday and such understanding to all of us too. She talked us quietly through the process and even during my panic, she reassured me with care. In a time of such intense grief and utter heartbreak, Dr Simonne felt like a friend holding my hand and supporting my heartbreak. Her follow up has been so very much appreciated. I truly can't express adequate gratitude. Dr Simonne you came recommend from a friend, and I couldn't have wished for anything more perfect than how you guided us through, possibly the most devastating time of our lives. Thank you with everything I have 💗

John and Sheree Holden

We are so grateful to Dr Simonne for making our last moments with our beloved Molly so calm and peaceful. Your gentle, kind and caring approach was appreciated.

Mike baird

From the moment we made the tough decision to call time on or beloved boy Calvin, Dr Simonne was there. Very clear on details leading up to the day. Beyond compassionate during the time of need. She clearly cares for both the animal and the human and makes everyone feel at ease. It was a sigh of relief knowing our boy went in the best way possible. Would recommend The Gentle Farewell to anyone who’s had to make the same decision we did. Thank you again, including the follow up the next day, which was unexpected but definitely welcomed. ❤️ 💐
