westiemum Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 No I haven't - but I'd certainly be interested in hearing from anyone who has. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheridan Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 I haven't heard of them but Grumpy's vet came to the house. That's always an option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cornell Posted January 8, 2013 Author Share Posted January 8, 2013 Thanks. I am just weighing up the options right now. I kinda like the fact that she is specialises in this kind of thing and I assume that her timetable is more flexible than our vet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harley Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 No I haven't heard of her, wish i had previously though. I know (as so many here would too) how hard it is to make to final decision though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loving my Oldies Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 I have always been of the understanding that most vets will come to your house. Naturally you will pay accordingly, but that is how it should be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tara and Sam Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 I didnt remember the name , but once I saw her name Marie and is around the Plymptom area I have heard good reports I did speak to her once on the phone and she sounded such a careing person this was prior to having Tara PTS I beleive she does take all the time you need for both yourself and your loved pet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheridan Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 My only concern would be that the dog doesn't know this vet. That's important in some cases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cornell Posted January 8, 2013 Author Share Posted January 8, 2013 My girl is a flirt she loves everyone, even during the tough times.:) You are right though a stranger would bother some dogs and their owners. After losing my previous pets I had a very hard time even driving by that particular vet's office. This could also lessen that issue. I should have also mentioned that our vet is a very well respected and experienced lovely lady. She does not do house calls which I can understand as neither would I if I was as popular as her. he he Marie also sounds lovely. I just wish that she had email as typing things is far less painful than saying the horrible truth out loud. I will though when the time is right.

Sheridan Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 Yes, I particularly wanted Grumpy's vet to come to the house. It would have been awful with a stranger. I don't know if he regularly does house calls but he came for Grumpy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
julesluvscavs Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 oh what a pity she only does metropolitan Adelaide areas in SA. the vets we go to ok but it would be nice to someone more compassionate and personalised for that time.. I hadn't heard of her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piper Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 I hadn't heard of her but I think it is a great service that she offers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dova Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 Our vet came to the house when we put Dova down, the vet nurse, a male, & vet were terrific, we'll do the same when it's JC's turn. It's hard enough putting you pets down with out having to go into a vet clinic full of people . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rubiton Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 A few years ago my aunt got someone to go and put down their dog (it had collapsed Wed night and they found the service to visit on Friday morning - dont ask I cant even fathom how someone would leave their old dog down in distress for that amount of time regardless of excuses on why they couldnt put it in the car and go to a vet). Anyway never found out the name but it was apparently a lady vet who goes to the home and puts them down - so I assume this may be the person. They also took the dog away afterwards (another dont ask) and my aunt was apparently happy with the servce provided. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tara and Sam Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 I cant remember who told me about her , but I remember it was a very good recomendation of how she spent time with the dog and owner before the deed was done she apparently whent to the home and spent time with the dog playing / patting etc so dog was relaxed with her and talked to the owner explaining things and helping owner with what was going to happen when I spoke to her I was impressed with her I did make the call to her a month or so before Tara was PTS , but when I made my decision I did get my vet to come out to home as I wanted Tara to be home and he had been seeing her regularly that final month , I think she sensed it wasnt going to be good as the visit before she squealed when he gave her a injection ( it had to be blood taken from neck area ) and she didnt want him near her the day it was to happen I was glad Tara was in my arms and at home when she passed over , but next time I have to make the decsion I would go via Marie and if I remember her prices were about what you pay elsewhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHA Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 Thank you for posting this link. I haven't heard of this place before and think it would be nice to have her come to your home, where the dog is relaxed. My old boy really hates going to the vets, even though they are lovely there. I would hate to think his last moments were there where he was scared. I really don't want to think about it at this stage, but know the time is getting closer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rosetta Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 Personally, for this service I would prefer a vet that the dog does not know provided the person is kind and gentle with the animal. Many dogs would associate their regular vet with unpleasant experiences so it may be better for them to have a stranger visit - it may be less stressful for the dog. So very difficult for you whatever way it is done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cornell Posted January 11, 2013 Author Share Posted January 11, 2013 (edited) O by the way just for the record you can contact Marie via email following the obvious link/green button on her website :) It just goes to show you how beside myself I am right now since I did not see it the first time:( Edited January 12, 2013 by cornell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
