Welcome

My Best Friend is Australias first and Melbourne’s most trusted Veterinary Home Euthanasia Service.

Located in Melbourne, My Best Friend is an inhome mobile euthanasia service founded, owned and operated by Dr Emma Whiston, together with her team.

Established in 2004, My Best Friend is a specialised service particularly for elderly and terminally ill companion animals. It provides compassionate and personalised ‘end of life’ veterinary care for dearly loved pets in the private and familiar surroundings of their own home.

My Best Friend is able to provide palliative care, pre-euthanasia guidance and preparation, peaceful home euthanasia (including twilight pre-sedation) as well as aftercare arrangements such as cremation.

Our caring team at My Best Friend can help you make the best decision possible for your best friend during this emotional time.
