What Pet Owners Say About Us

"No Rush, Just Love"

"What meant the most to us was that we weren’t rushed. We had all the time we needed to say goodbye to Charlie. It was calm, private, and exactly what he deserved"

- Luis & Sofia G.

"The Right Choice for Our Family"

"I had no idea home euthanasia was even an option until a friend recommended it. I’m so thankful we chose this route for Daisy. The process was explained clearly, and the vet made sure she was relaxed the entire time. We even got to sit outside in the garden, where she loved to sunbathe. I wouldn’t have wanted it any other way."

- Sarah M.

"A Kind and Gentle Experience"

"The kindness we were shown was beyond what I expected. Our vet was incredibly compassionate, and I knew from the moment they arrived that Oscar was in the best hands. I highly recommend this service to anyone facing this heartbreaking decision."

- Jennifer A.

Unsure if It’s Time? We Can Help.

We know how important this decision is. While many pet owners just know, others need guidance. That’s why we offer a telephone or at home quality-of-life assessment to help you decide with confidence. Together, we can determine if the time is right or if your pet may still have some quality time left.

Frequently Asked Questions

We’ve answered the most common questions here, but if you want to talk things through we’re here for you.

Feel free to contact us anytime.

How do I know if it’s time to euthanise my pet?

If your pet is in pain, struggling with mobility, has lost interest in food or affection, or their quality of life has declined, many owners intuitively ‘know’ however, if you’re unsure you can either consult with your own vet or book a telephone quality of life assessment with one of our vets.

Will my pet feel any pain?

No. The vet first administers a gentle sedative to relax your pet before the euthanasia injection, ensuring a calm, painless passing surrounded with love in the comfort of their own home.

Where should the euthanasia take place?

Choose a quiet, comfortable space where your pet feels safe—on their bed, in your lap, or even outside if the weather allows. Our vets will happily kneel on the floor to complete the procedure if that is your pets favoured place.

How long does the process take?

The sedation injection usually takes around 5-10 minutes to fully relax your pet. The follow-up euthanasia injection takes just a few moments. Each pet has a unique experience, but from start to finish is typically around 20-30 minutes.

Do you sedate before performing the euthanasia?

Our standard euthanasia protocol follows a two-stage process, beginning with sedation before the administration of pentobarbital. However, in some cases, where the attending vet determines that sedation is unnecessary or not in the pet’s best interest—for example, if the pet is already at the very end of life and unresponsive (moribund) and not distressed by IV access—we may proceed directly with IV administration.

This approach allows us to:

✔ Minimise unnecessary handling to keep your pet as comfortable as possible.

✔ Avoid additional injections that may cause discomfort in a fragile state.

✔ Ensure a peaceful and gentle passing without prolonging the process unnecessarily.

If this situation arises, the vet will explain the reasoning to you before proceeding. Should you still prefer sedation, even against the vet’s advice, we will revert to our standard two-stage protocol.

By agreeing to this contract, you acknowledge that the attending vet may exercise their professional judgement in determining the most compassionate approach for your pet, while keeping you informed throughout the process.

What happens with my pets remains?

We partner with a number of excellent pet crematoriums. You can choose individual cremation (ashes returned), communal cremation (ashes respectfully scattered), or home burial (if permitted). The vet does not take your pet away. If you want your pet collected, we sign post you to one of the crematoriums we work with. This can all be seamlessly arranged with our help should you want it.

What are my cremation options?

You can choose individual cremation (ashes returned), communal cremation (ashes respectfully scattered), or home burial (if permitted). Prices for this are separate and not covered by the euthanasia service.

Can my family be present?

Yes, you and your loved ones, including children and other pets, are welcome to be present. You may choose not to have young children and pets present for the procedure, but it is very important, especially for companion pets to spend time with your pet afterwards to see and understand that their pet friend has passed.
