In-home pet euthanasia and palliative care on the Gold Coast
When a much-loved pet is unwell or nearing the end of life, familiar surroundings and time with family can make a meaningful difference. Dr Ray Baxter provides compassionate in-home veterinary care across the Gold Coast, including euthanasia and palliative-care consultations.
Ray is based in Kingscliff and visits Gold Coast families by appointment. Availability varies, so call or text to discuss your suburb and timing before making plans.

Service areas include Ormeau, Pimpama, Coomera, Helensvale, Labrador, Southport, Ashmore, Nerang, Carrara, Surfers Paradise, Broadbeach, Mermaid Beach, Robina, Varsity Lakes, Mudgeeraba, Burleigh Heads, Palm Beach, Tallebudgera, Currumbin, Tugun and Coolangatta.
If your suburb is nearby but not listed, please get in touch. Ray can confirm whether a visit is possible and discuss any travel charge before you book.
Care at home, guided by your needs
A first conversation can help you work out what support may be appropriate. For a pet with changing comfort, mobility, appetite or enjoyment, a quality-of-life assessment can help you consider what you are noticing. For a pet living with advanced or progressive illness, a palliative-care consultation focuses on comfort, symptoms and planning. When it is time to say goodbye, in-home euthanasia allows your pet to remain in a familiar setting with the people they know.
You can read the current options and fees on the Services & Pricing page. Medication, tests and additional treatments are discussed separately where relevant.
What happens next?
Call or text Ray to share your location and what is happening with your pet. Ray can talk through the available support, current appointment availability and any travel fee before you decide whether to book. There is no pressure to make a decision during that first conversation.
