This is a deeply personal decision and can only be made by you. If your pet’s quality of life is severely compromised, choosing home euthanasia sooner rather than later can prevent unnecessary suffering. Our veterinarians are here to provide guidance and answer any questions to help you make the best choice for your pet.

• Changes in appetite or drinking habits
• Withdrawal from activities, hiding, or reduced interest in play
• Behavioural changes, such as confusion, irritability, or unusual reactions
• Difficulty standing up or moving around
• Increased incontinence during the day or night
• Changes in sleeping patterns – either more or less than usual
• Vocal changes, such as excessive noise or sudden silence in normally “talkative” pets

Some owners prefer not to know the specific details. However if you would like more information, you can find a full description on our pet euthanasia page, or we’re happy to answer your questions personally. Once the home euthanasia has been completed, we can take your pet away straight away for cremation, or you may prefer to spend a little time with them before the collection.

No, the process is peaceful and free of pain. Your pet will gently drift into unconsciousness and will not feel any pain. Aside from the tiny prick of the injection, there is no discomfort. The key benefit of home euthanasia is that your pet remains stress free during the process, which is not always the case if you need to visit your veterinary practice.

There any many reasons, the majority of pets do not like the Vets and will get anxious and stressed, allowing your pet to stay in their own home environment creates no stress or anxiety for them and they are surrounded by the people they love. You do not have to worry about leaving your pet in cold room and walking out of a vets practice when you are heartbroken.

Yes you can, you can choose anywhere to do this, inside / outside, in a favourite place etc. This is completely your choice and this service is designed to make you and your pet as comfortable as possible

On average the process takes around 30 minutes.

We do not provide treatments for elderly or ill pets, as we do not know their history or have access to their records. If you have chosen home euthanasia, please ensure you are comfortable with this decision and if required, have pursued any treatment options.

No, only a simple consent form is needed to proceed.
