Knowing when is the right time to say goodbye isn't easy.

As pet owners ourselves who have loved and lost our own animal companions, we understand and empathise with how difficult it is to be faced with the impending loss of a pet and are here to guide you through the process.

We believe this final time should be calm, unhurried, peaceful, and pain-free.

A time to say goodbye to your pet in a compassionate and dignified way.

At Ctvets, we understand why so many owners wish to say goodbye to their beloved pet in the comfort of their own Home.

When we visit your pet and once you are ready, we will gently give a small injection of calming sedation so that they drift into a peaceful sleep and we encourage you to stay with them during this time.

Once they are no longer aware of their surroundings, you may decide whether to stay with them or leave the room.

If you have a suitable garden and would like your pet to have a home burial, we can advise you on what to do next.

Alternatively, you may prefer a communal cremation with no ashes returned or an individual cremation with your pet’s ashes returned to you.

You may wish to keep the ashes in a special urn, have a small memorial keepsake, a small fur clipping, or have a clay pawprint made so please let us know if you have a different preference.

We believe that saying goodbye to a precious pet should be respectful and unhurried.

A peaceful end not driven by time but by pure love and compassion so whatever your wishes, we want you to feel comfortable with your pet’s care, therefore, please do not hesitate to ask if you have any special requests.

We are available to provide euthanasia at your own home at your convenience.

Please, feel free to contact us if you need to further discuss your pet's condition and if you require support in taking this difficult decision.
