Euthanasia 

Euthanasia is very sad and can be a difficult choice for pet owners to make. However, when that choice has to be made we will be there to support you through it. Don’t be afraid to ask your vet any questions, they will be more than happy to take time to answer any concerns you have, it is sometimes comforting to know what to expect.

Euthanasia can be carried out in the practice or as a home visit. If you request a home visit we will try to arrange a mutually convenient time. Please contact the practice to discuss your home visit requirements, we will always try to accommodate your wishes. However, it is not always possible to achieve this every time.
