Caring for your pet doesn’t end with goodbye.
Dr Janine at Loved Pets comes to your home for a peaceful, unhurried goodbye — and afterwards, your family gets the most thoughtful aftercare in New Zealand. Real-time tracking, a memorial page, and dignified handling from the moment your pet leaves home.
Free, no-obligation phone chat with Dr Janine.
A peaceful, stress-free at-home goodbye
Free, no-obligation call
A scheduled phone call to chat about how Janine can help — or to talk through your pet's quality of life. No pressure, no cost.
In-home euthanasia
Peaceful, stress-free, compassionate euthanasia in your own home — your pet stays in the place they know best.
Unhurried, with your family
Janine goes at your speed, with as many people present as you'd like. There when you need her, for as long as you need.
Grief resources
Resources to help and support you through a truly difficult and emotional time, for adults and children alike.
Caring support beyond goodbye
Because Dr Janine partners with Pet Aftercare, families she helps get a level of care most providers simply don’t offer. Every detail is here for a reason.
A real-time tracking page
A unique link, just for your pet. Follow every step from Dr Janine's home visit through to their ashes returning home — progress updates, your pet's care details, all in one place.
The CliniCareBag™ — not a bag
Your pet travels in a specially designed, individually numbered CliniCareBag™ — not a garbage bag like most providers use. It feels more like a pet bed than a bag, dignified from the moment they leave.
A personal note read to your pet
Write a message and we'll read it to your pet while they're in our care. Every animal is spoken to by name, with the same love they knew at home.
A lasting memorial page
A personal space online to celebrate them — with your favourite photos, a tribute, and memories from family and friends. Yours to keep.
A choice of three farewells
From a respectful group cremation to a fully private return of just your pet's ashes — you choose what feels right for your family.
Complimentary keepsakes
Every family receives a paw print, a locket of your pet’s fur, and a sympathy card — small things that mean everything.
