How it works

Once you and your pet have go to know me and feel comfortable, I will give them a sedative so that they slowly fall asleep. Each step is handled with care, compassion, and respect, ensuring a peaceful experience in the comfort of your home.

Frequently Asked Questions

There’s lots to think about when it comes to your pet, but you’re not the first to have questions. Here are a few of the most commonly asked:

  • This is one of the hardest decisions a pet owner will face. If your pet is in chronic pain, struggling to move, losing interest in food, or no longer enjoying life, you may feel it’s time to consider euthanasia. I offer a free phone consultation or Watsapp chat to help assess your pet’s condition and guide you through this decision with kindness and expertise or you might find this guide helpful

  • You know the environment that will best suit your pet and your family best.

    Being at home means you can plan for the best time of day for children and other family members to be present.

    You can allow other pets to have their own time to say goodbye.

    You can avoid a busy waiting room, public scrutiny afterwards and a receptionist that may not be aware of what you have just gone through.

    Most importantly many pets feel anxious at the vets and some can even behave very differently. Being at home removes all fear and uncertainty for your pet allowing you all to relax

  • The process is gentle, peaceful, and unhurried:

    1. We talk through your concerns and ensure you’re ready.

    2. I meet your pet to help them feel at ease.

    3. If you would like me to, I perform a gentle examination to confirm this is the right decision.

    4. You choose the location where your pet will be most comfortable (home, garden, etc.).

    5. I administer a sedative to help them relax deeply.

    6. When you’re ready, I give the final injection. This is painless and happens within seconds.

    7. I confirm your pet has passed peacefully and allow you private time to say goodbye.

    8. I can assist with aftercare options if needed, including home burial or cremation.

  • Yes. Many owners find comfort in being by their pet’s side, talking to them, stroking them, and reassuring them. There is no rush—you can be present as much or as little as you feel comfortable with.

  • It’s completely normal to feel uncertain. I offer a free phone consultation or Watsapp chat to help understand your pet’s condition and help you understand your options. My role is to support you, not to pressure you. Together, we will make the best choice for both you and your pet.

  • No. The process is designed to be painless and stress-free. The initial sedative ensures your pet is in a deep state of sleepy relaxation. The sensation of the sedative injection will be similar to when they have a booster injection. A lot of pets don’t really notice and I encourage you to further distract them with treats or head rubs. For some dogs this is a good time to let them have all that chocolate they’ve never been allowed to eat

    • Choose a quiet, comfortable spot where your pet feels safe (e.g., their favourite bed or a sunny spot in the garden).

    • Have family members present if they wish to say goodbye. Consider explaining to children ahead of time what is going to happen.

    • Consider lighting a candle, playing soft music, or bringing a favourite blanket.

    • Prepare any aftercare arrangements (home burial or cremation).

  • Once your pet has passed, I will:

    • Give you time alone to say goodbye.

    • Wrap your pet gently if you wish for me to take them.

    • Provide guidance on home burial or cremation options.

    If you choose cremation, I can arrange this for you and return your pet’s ashes in a way that feels meaningful to you.

  • Pricing varies based on the size of your pet and any additional services (such as cremation). I am happy to provide a clear, upfront quote with no hidden costs, so you know exactly what to expect.

  • You can:

    📞 Call me for a free consultation
    📩 Email me or Watsapp me with any questions
    🖥️ Book online to register your pet and schedule a visit

    I understand this is an emotional decision, and I’m here to guide you through it with kindness and care.

  • The service is currently available to those in Cornwall.

  • If your pet needs urgent care while you're away from home, I recommend contacting the nearest veterinary practice for an emergency appointment. My service is designed to support pets and their families in their permanent residence, where they feel most comfortable.

  • I’m afraid that reptiles require special care from a veterinary with a specialism in this area. Please contact your current veterinary practice for assistance
