Fair Care.

The quiet, careful goodbye your pet deserves.

Clinical care brings expertise, safety and solutions. At the end of a pet's life, what matters more is comfort, calm and dignity.

We come to you. In your home, on your sofa, in the garden, wherever your pet is most at peace. The whole visit happens at home, in your pet's own time.

Our promise to Birmingham families is simple: clear standards, honest pricing, and the time and space to say goodbye properly.

  • Clear standards, not vague promises

    Every visit follows the same gentle process, delivered by an RCVS-qualified vet.

  • Known steps before, during and after

    You know exactly what to expect at every stage, including aftercare and cremation.

  • Honest, transparent pricing

    Real prices shown by pet size. No call-out charges and no surprises.

  • Time, space and calm, not pressure

    We allow as long as your family needs. This is never rushed.

Local to you, across Birmingham and the surrounding area.

Birmingham is a city of long-rooted neighbourhoods, and many of the dogs we visit have walked the same patch for years. By the time the conversation turns to a final visit, putting an elderly pet in the car for a clinic appointment is rarely the note most families want to end on; most would rather it happened at home, on a familiar blanket, with the family around them.

What a visit looks like in Birmingham

  • RCVS-qualified vet at your door, often the same morning
  • Sedation first on a familiar bed or blanket; final injection only when your pet is in a deep sleep
  • Cremation arranged with a trusted local partner who collect directly from your home
  • Ashes returned within 48 hours if you choose private cremation

Not sure if we cover your village? Phone the local number and we will let you know.

Our vets cover the central B postcodes and the inner suburbs out through Moseley, Edgbaston and Harborne, with same-day cover usually reaching Kings Heath, Sutton Coldfield and Solihull. If a neighbouring team in Wolverhampton or Coventry would actually be quicker, the handler will say so rather than book something that does not quite work. Sedation is given first, on the bed or blanket your pet already knows, and they are in a deep sleep before anything else happens. Cremation is arranged through a trusted Midlands partner, who collect directly from the home after the visit; private cremation returns the ashes within 48 hours. The number on this page is a direct Birmingham line.

How it works.

Three steps. We handle everything around the clinical care so your family can focus on being there.

1

Call or message

Speak to a calm, experienced team member on the local number, or message on WhatsApp. We help you plan timing and answer any questions before anything is booked.

2

A vet visits your home

An RCVS-qualified vet arrives at the agreed time, explains gently what will happen, gives a sedative first, and takes as long as your family needs.

3

We handle the aftercare

If you have chosen cremation, we co-ordinate everything with a trusted partner. Ashes returned, or communal cremation if you prefer.

Honest, transparent pricing

Real prices, by pet size.

Fair care means fair pricing. Here is exactly what a home visit costs in Birmingham. Out-of-hours covers evenings, nights and early mornings, and any time at weekends or on bank holidays. Only one of these is ever added.

Medium dog, up to 25kg£295
Large dog, up to 50kg£315
Extra large dog, up to 80kg£350

Quality of Life Assessment (by phone)Free
Out-of-hours (evenings, weekends, bank holidays)+£70 to £100
Same-day visit+£70 to £100
Travel£39, however far we travel

Travel is a flat £39 however far we travel, so there is never any extra mileage to work out.

These fees are for the at-home euthanasia appointment only and do not include cremation or aftercare. We can arrange cremation and aftercare for you if you wish, and we will provide a clear quote for those services before you book, so you know the full cost before confirming the appointment.

Common questions.

How do I know it is time?

One of the hardest questions any family faces. Our free Quality of Life Assessment walks you through the signs vets look for, mobility, appetite, comfort, interest in surroundings. You are also welcome to phone and talk it through. There is no pressure either way.

How quickly can you come?

Most visits across Birmingham and the surrounding area are booked same-day, often within a couple of hours. Pre-planned visits for a specific day and time are also available. For urgent, out-of-hours situations the local number is answered from 8am to 8pm.

What happens during the visit?

Your vet arrives, introduces themselves quietly, and takes a few minutes to explain what will happen. They give your pet a gentle sedative first, so they become relaxed and sleepy, usually resting in your arms or on their bed. Only then is the final injection given, and your pet slips away peacefully. We never rush this.

Does it cost more for evenings or weekends?

Out-of-hours and same-day visits carry a small surcharge (£70 each, or £89 combined, and £100 overnight). The visit fee itself is the same regardless of day or time.

Can my children or other pets be there?

Yes, if you would like. Many families find it helpful to say goodbye together. We take your lead on who is present and make sure everyone feels comfortable, including other pets in the household.

What about cremation and aftercare?

We co-ordinate everything. You can choose individual cremation (ashes returned to you), communal cremation (no ashes returned), or home burial if that is what you prefer. No pressure, just the options explained clearly.

Do you cover Moseley?

Yes, Moseley sits within our Birmingham cover area and we visit there regularly. If you are right on the edge of where the Birmingham team reaches, please phone the local number first to confirm. Most postcodes around Birmingham are covered without a travel surcharge, and we will be straight with you if a different local team would actually get to you faster.

Will the vet visiting Birmingham have done this before?

Yes, every vet visiting Birmingham is RCVS-qualified and trained for at-home euthanasia, the same gentle process every time. The same gentle process is followed on every visit: introductions and time to settle, a sedative first so your pet drifts into a deep sleep, and only then the final injection. We never rush, and we will explain each step quietly as we go.

How things end matters.

We are here whenever you are ready.

Whether you need us today or you would like to plan ahead, the Birmingham team is here to listen. No pressure, just a calm conversation about what is best for your pet.
