In-home pet euthanasia and palliative care in the Northern Rivers

Dr Ray Baxter offers compassionate veterinary care at home for pets and the people who love them across the Northern Rivers. If your pet’s comfort or quality of life is changing, you can talk with Ray about support at home, palliative-care planning or a gentle goodbye when the time comes.

Ray is based in Kingscliff and travels by appointment. Because the Northern Rivers covers a wide area, please call or text with your town so Ray can confirm availability and any travel fee before booking.

Support through difficult decisions

A quality-of-life assessment can be a useful place to start when you are noticing changes in your pet’s comfort, mobility, appetite or enjoyment. For pets with advanced or progressive illness, a palliative-care consultation provides time to discuss comfort, symptoms and planning. If the time comes to say goodbye, an in-home visit means your pet can remain in familiar surroundings with their family close by.

See the current services and fees on the Services & Pricing page. Any medication, tests or extra treatments are discussed separately before proceeding.
