When the time comes to say goodbye you want your pet to be calm and comfortable in a place where they feel safe and secure.
Our vet will come and spend some time with you and your pet to make sure you're comfortable. When everyone is ready, he will administer a small sedation under the skin that will allow your pet to peacefully drift off to sleep over a 5 to 10 minute period. During this time, our vet will step aside so you can privately sit with your pet and hold them as they fall to sleep. There is no time pressure so you and your family can say your final farewells at your own pace.
Once your pet is deeply asleep, our vet will administer the last injection and within a couple of minutes, your pet will pass away without pain or discomfort.

You can be with your companion throughout the entire procedure or you can leave the room at any time you wish. There is no time pressure and you will get to have as much time as you need to say your farewells.
Our vet will take things at your speed and you are welcome to include members of the family or close friends if this helps you.
We've been through the same experience so don't feel the need to put on a brave face for us. The most important thing is that you and your family feel supported.
We also offer an option to donate your dog or cat to support veterinary education and training, which improves future pet care. Just like many humans choose to donate their bodies to medicine, many pet owners like the thought of giving something back to the animal community. If this is something you would be interested in doing or would like to know more, please ask when you get in touch so we can discuss whether your pet can be gifted.
*If you chose this option, the cost of your home visit is discounted -£150 by the veterinary training company.
