What's Included & How It Works
- 01
Book online or call us. Once a time is confirmed, our vet arranges a pre-visit telehealth call to talk through exactly how the visit will go and answer any questions you have.
- 02
We arrive at your home at the agreed time and spend unhurried time with you and your dog, settling them in their favourite spot, surrounded by family.
- 03
A gentle pre-sedation is given so your dog drifts into a deep, calm sleep, completely relaxed and free of any stress.
- 04
When your family is ready, the procedure is carried out peacefully. We then give you quiet time with your dog to say goodbye at your own pace.
- 05
If cremation is elected, we handle the transfer and coordinate the cremation arrangements with our trusted partner. A paw print or fur clipping keepsake is offered before we leave, and grief support resources can be shared with you if needed.
Cremation is organised for an extra fee; transfer from your home to our cremation partner is included in those prices.
