Chester is a city defined by its walls, its rows and the slow curve of the Dee, and it has a particular kind of resident pet, older dogs who have walked the meadows below the racecourse, cats who have lived in the same Hoole or Handbridge terrace for fifteen years. Bringing one of those pets to a clinic for the final appointment often feels wrong to the families we speak to. We cover the city itself from Boughton and Vicars Cross through Newton, Upton and Blacon, and across the river into Handbridge, Lache and Saltney. We also travel out to Upton-by-Chester, Mickle Trafford, Christleton, Tarvin and Saughall. Our vets are RCVS-registered and bring sedation as standard so your pet is comfortable before anything else happens. We will not rush, and you can have as many people in the room as feels right, including children if that is the decision you have made as a family. We can also arrange for the appointment to be in a garden or conservatory if that suits your pet better than the front room. Cremation is handled through a local Cheshire provider, with private and communal options, ashes returned if you have asked for them. Costs are explained clearly on the call before we book, and there are no add-on charges on the day.

01244 7278808am to 8pm, seven days a week. A calm, experienced team member picks up.
Three steps. We handle everything around the clinical care so your family can focus on being there.
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.
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.
If you have chosen cremation, we co-ordinate everything with a trusted partner. Ashes returned, or communal cremation if you prefer.
Honest, transparent pricing
Fair care means fair pricing. Here is exactly what a home visit costs in Chester. 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.
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.

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.
Most visits across Chester 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
We work to whatever timescale suits the family rather than to a fixed arrival window. When you phone us, we usually have a vet confirmed for you within around twenty minutes, and then the visit is booked for the time you have asked for, whether that is later the same day, this evening, or a quieter morning slot. If you would like someone as soon as possible, say so on the call and we will tell you the earliest we can be there.
Yes, Hoole sits within our Chester cover area and we visit there regularly. If you are right on the edge of where the Chester team reaches, please phone the local number first to confirm. Most postcodes around Chester are covered without a travel surcharge, and we will be straight with you if a different local team would actually get to you faster.
