Saying Goodbye
We know that saying goodbye is never easy.
Our caring team will do their best to make this last visit as gentle and calm as possible for your beloved friend. We use a gentle sedative to ease any pain or anxiety, and can usually perform this step in the car if your pet is anxious about coming into the clinic.
We also offer home euthanasia, where one of our experienced vets and a vet nurse travel to you to carry out the full procedure at home. This ensures your pet is as comfortable and relaxed as possible through the procedure, and allows you to grieve at home. We can then transport your pet back to the clinic for cremation services.
We partner with two cremation providers, listed below. We arrange everything from the clinic, to make the process as easy as possible for you. Follow the links provided to see options for memorials / return of ashes.
