The Kindest Goodbye is an organisation that connects families of beloved pets in need of end-of-life care with compassionate and dedicated veterinary practitioners offering this service across the UK.
We also work closely with a wide network of pet cremation providers to help families honour and memorialise their pet, creating a simple, single touch-point for familes to help make what can be an extremely difficult time just that little bit easier…
Dr Tom Milton’s veterinary journey* has taken him from mixed practice to small animal work in clinic and finally to in-home veterinary care and a passion for offering and promoting peaceful home euthanasia for pets.
His own work locally in this area inspired him to set up The Kindest Goodbye, a national network of equally dedicated vets offering this wonderful service to families and their beloved pets across Australia. Building on the success there and having deep family roots in the UK , Dr Tom was inspired to expand our network to also provide this important service to pets and families across the British Isles.
FOUNDER
Putting your pet to sleep in the comfort of home, with loved ones by their side and away from the stress of the vet clinic is the kindest goodbye you can give your beloved friend.
As a team of pet lovers, we understand what it’s like to love and lose your pet. We believe that your pet’s end-of-life journey should be just as caring, loving and unique as they are.
*Please note that whilst Dr Tom is a qualified and registered veterinary surgeon in Australia, he has not been nor is currently a member of the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons in the UK (MRCVS), and is not available to provide home euthanasia services in the UK through The Kindest Goodbye himself. Sadly, the commute from southern Victoria would be a little too far to manage!
If you would like to learn more about our service or need advice, we offer free phone consultations with one of our caring vets to discuss your pet's situation.
If you would like to organise a peaceful farewell for your beloved pet at home, you can make a booking request and we will get back to you ASAP with availability.
