The Rainbow Bridge Vet is a part-time business, currently open on a Monday and Thursday 10-5. Occasional appointments available outside of these hours when time permits. I am an experienced veterinarian with over 25 years of clinical practice. I have worked throughout Australia, the UK and NZ - Tasmania is where my heart is and is my long term home. One of the hardest parts of being a pet owner is
seeing our fur-family get older. Unfortunately our pets rarely pass away peacefully in their sleep - and it is difficult to see them struggling or suffering. Although it can be a very difficult decision to make, allowing our furry loved ones to pass peacefully in their own surroundings is a relief to us as owners. Most importantly for our pets, it is a gentle and kind way to end their suffering. My service includes a phone discussion before a planned visit. This may help you decide when is the right time, or to reassure you about what happens in a visit. There is plenty of time in my visit - I allow for up to an hour. Afterwards you may want to bury your pet at home. Alternatively you may wish to have your pet cremated.
