A peaceful goodbye, at home
Compassionate veterinary care in familiar surroundings, with time, privacy and no rushing. Serving Gush Dan, central Israel and the Sharon.
Dr Eliott Reich answers personally · By appointment only · Not an emergency service
How it works
A personal conversation
Call or write on WhatsApp. We will discuss the situation, answer your questions and arrange a suitable time, without pressure.
A calm home visit
I reserve at least 60 to 90 minutes. Your companion stays in the place where they feel safest.
Deep sleep first
A gentle sedative is always given first. Only after deep sleep is the final medication administered.
I handle what follows
I coordinate respectful transport, cremation or burial, and keep you informed throughout.
Not sure whether it is time?
Look at quality of life rather than a single difficult day. Loss of enjoyment, uncontrolled pain, breathing difficulty and more bad days than good all deserve a veterinary conversation.
Read the quality-of-life guide- No longer enjoying food, walks, play or affection
- More bad days than good
- Pain, breathlessness or difficulty standing
- Withdrawal or loss of interest

About Dr Eliott Reich
Dr Eliott Reich
Licensed veterinarian, licence no. 3420
My work has included community and larger veterinary clinics, emergency centres, animal-welfare organisations in Tel Aviv and SOS Pets, and co-founding Teddy Vets as chief veterinarian.
I created Gesher HaKeshet because a final goodbye can be quieter and more personal: at home, without a waiting room and without watching the clock.
Frequently asked questions
Will my pet feel pain?
A gentle sedative is given first. Your companion falls into a deep sleep before the final medication is administered.
How long does the visit take?
I reserve at least 60 to 90 minutes and do not rush the family.
Can children or other pets be present?
Yes. There is no single correct choice. We can discuss what fits your family before the visit.
What happens afterwards?
You may choose communal cremation, individual cremation with ashes returned, or a pet cemetery. I coordinate the process.
Do you provide emergency care?
No. The service is by advance appointment. Acute distress requires an emergency veterinary clinic.
