about
Vet Angel offers compassionate end of life services for companion animals in your home. Veterinary care is provided by Dr Michelle Williams from the Macedon Ranges. Michelle graduated from Murdoch University in Western Australia in 2002. While working in general practice she saw the need for a specialised 'at home euthanasia' service, a gentle way of saying goodbye to your beloved pet. Euthanasia means “good death,” and is the act of ending a life in order to relieve pain and suffering. You might consider having your pet euthanised (or 'put to sleep') if it has a painful and incurable condition, or if debilitating age-related changes impair it's quality of life. The decision to euthanise a beloved pet can be one of the toughest decisions an owner must make. As a veterinarian with over ten years experience Michelle can help you with this decision. If it is possible to make your pet comfortable then palliative care is available. At home euthanasia means that you and your pet remain in peaceful and familiar surroundings. There's no car trip, no need to sit in a waiting room full of people, no need to be hurried. You can choose a time that is more convenient to you and your family outside normal clinic hours.
