In-home Geriatric & Palliative Care

Gentle, unhurried care for your senior or unwell pet.

As our pets grow older, or face a serious illness, the world can start to feel a little smaller and scarier for them. A trip to the vet clinic, with its unfamiliar smells, other animals and long waits in the car, can be geniunely stressful for a senior cat or dog – especially when they’re not feeling their best.

Dr Lloyd’s Mobile Vet Care bring gentle, thorough veterinary care straight to your home, so your pet can be assessed, treated and comforted in the place they feel safest, curled up on their favourite bed and with you right beside them.

We have been proudly supporting pet families across the Central Coast NSW with compassionate geriatric and palliative care since 2018.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dr Lloyd’s Mobile Vet is the best vet we could have asked for. We adopted our two cats, Timmy (2) and our elderly girl Bella (17), from SoCares last year, and Dr Adelle had already been caring for them before they came home with us. We’re so glad we stayed with them.

Home visits have made vet care so accessible for us since I don’t drive. Having them come to us also made things so much easier on the cats.

Bella needed a lot of support in her later years, including monthly arthritis injections and help managing her dementia. Dr Adelle looked after her with real care every visit. Timmy is usually scared of everyone, but he absolutely loved playing with Matt while Dr Adelle tended to Bella. That says a lot about the kind of people they are. They’ve always been flexible and accommodating, and their pricing is very reasonable. Dr Lauren has also been fantastic and Bella and Timmy really liked her.

When it was time to say goodbye to Bella, they were incredibly empathetic and respectful. They made sure my partner, Timmy and I had time with her at home, and then took her away in a comfy bed full of blankets. It meant more to us than we can say.

Thank you, Adelle, Matt and Lauren for everything you did for Bella and for us. You’re the best vet we’ve ever had, and we’ll be calling you for all our future pets.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dr. Lloyd has been taking care of our dog since we adopted him five years ago, and we couldn’t ask for a better vet. Having her come directly to our home is incredibly convenient and makes the whole experience completely stress-free.

Our dog, Jet, absolutely loves her—as soon as her car pulls up, he rushes straight out the door to greet her! She has done a fantastic job helping us manage his allergies through monthly injections and personalised care, keeping him comfortable and healthy year-round.

If you are looking for compassionate, professional, and convenient mobile vet care, I would highly recommend Dr. Lloyd!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I came across Dr Lloyd mobile service out of neccesity when I was told by the another vet practise that our 1 dog was too stressed to get basic health checks done without anaesthesia. That's when we found Dr Lloyd Mobile Vet Service. Now 5 years on, Dr Lloyd, Matt and the teams geniune care, empathy and patience have helped us too succesfully manage all our senior dogs arthritis, and supported us through palliative care and at home farewell for our sweet, Pancake. All our senior dogs have gotten a new lease of life, thanks to Dr Lloyd and her team. They handles going into vets office when they needs a scan or surgery, much much better now as well, all thanks to Dr Lloyd.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We have had the benefit of Dr Lloyd's veterinary care for our two miniature schnauzers for several years.  She is highly skilled, very professional and responsive to the issues our dogs have had.  We continue use her services.  Our dogs are far less stressed when treated at our house instead of at a veterinary hospital. We have no hesitation in recommending Dr Lloyd's Mobile VetCARE to anyone who wants excellent veterinary care for their pets

Signs your senior pet may benefit from veterinary care

Geriatric Health Checks

Our senior pet consultations are relaxed, thorough and tailored to your pet’s individual needs. We typically include a full nose-to-tail physical examination, assessment of mobility joint health and comfort and discussions with you about any changes you’ve noticed.

We may suggest bloodwork or other diagnostics, and work with you to create a clear, honest picture of where your pet’s health is at and what to expect going forward.

We’ll create a tailored care plan for pain management, diet changes, or medication as required.

Dr Lloyd's Mobile VetCARE Geriatric Care May Include:

Palliative & End-of-life Vet Care

When a pet is diagnosed with a serious or terminal illness, the goal shifts. It’s no longer about curing, but about comfort, dignity, and making the most of the time you have left together.

There’s no set formula for this stage. Some pets are with us for a matter of weeks, others for many comfortable months. We walk alongside you for however long that journey is, adjusting the plan as things change. Palliative Care focusses on:

Pain & Symptom management - keeping your pet as comfortable as possible, using medication, therapies and adjustments tailored to their condition.
Quality of life monitoring - regular, honest check-ins to track how your pet is really doing, not just clinically, but in the small every day moments that matter.
Guidance and support for you - this is an emotional time and we are here to answer questions, talk through what to expect and help you feel supported rather than alone in the decision-making.
Compassionate In-home Euthanasia - When the time comes, we offer peaceful euthanasia at home, where your pet's final moments can be spent somewhere familiar, surrounded by the people and smells they love.
