The euthanasia visits are an average 45-60 minutes long. The reason for that is that we want your pet to be calm and settled throughout the process. He/she will be sedated with a non-painful injection under the skin which will make him/her fall asleep in 10-15 minutes. After this they will receive a strong pain medication injection which will deepen their sleep and let them fall under anaesthesia over another 5-10 minutes. After this they will be given the anaesthesia overdose which will let them drift off in their sleep over another few minutes. Their passing will be confirmed after careful auscultation of their chest.
Yes. our vehicle is lovingly prepared with flowers, soft cushions, and a framed photo of your cherished companion. If your pet weighs over 20kg, we kindly ask that someone be present to assist in carrying them to the vehicle, ensuring their transfer is handled safely and respectfully. Visit our The Final Journey page to see a photo of how the vehicle is prepared.
Yes, you can send a toy and/or favourite blanket with your pet. We aim to get them back to you within 2 weeks and we will contact you to arrange a convenient day/time with you.
We get asked this often - we work with an accredited crematoria which we trust and they also provide you with the certificate of the individual cremation.
No, the crematorium is on a working farm and therefore closed to the public.
If you would like to be reunited with your pet's remains sooner than what we can offer we would recommend you to contact a pet crematorium close to your location and make an arrangement directly with them.
If you want the vet to take your pet away for cremation, then it is easier all round, and more discreet if the vet can park on your property. If you have a drive, please ensure it is clear so that the vet's vehicle can get close to your house. Often customers like to accompany their pet on their way to the vet's vehicle, and spend a last few moments with them before departure.
If you don't have parking at your property, because there is no drive, or maybe you live in a flat or maisonette above the ground floor for example, then you may be able to suggest the best place to park.
No. Experience has taught us that customers generally prefer it if the vet's vehicle draws as little attention as possible at such a sensitive time.
We cover most of West Yorkshire (apart from Northern Leeds, Ikley, Whetherby areas) and Barnsley.
With regards to collecting deceased pets - we won't be able to assist as we need to retain our limited appointments for end of life visits.
You can pay in advance using online bank transfer or you can use a card/cash to pay at the time of the visit. We accept most credit or debit cards. If you opt to pay on the day, we generally find it's better to pay at the start of the visit.
We use a purpose designed Euthabagâ„¢ to transport your pet. You can wrap them in a favourite fleece or blanket, before placing them inside, and also add a toy or written note too. See The Final Journey for more information on this aspect of the procedure.
