Edinburgh is a city built around its hills and parks and the dogs we are asked to visit have usually walked the same routes for years: Holyrood Park and Arthur's Seat for the families in Newington, Southside and the Old Town, the Meadows and Bruntsfield Links for the streets around Marchmont, Bruntsfield and Tollcross, Inverleith Park and the Royal Botanic Garden for the homes in Stockbridge, Comely Bank and Inverleith, the Water of Leith path for the older retrievers and labradors of Dean Village, Roseburn and Balerno, Blackford Hill and the Hermitage of Braid for the spaniels of Morningside, Marchmont and Blackford, Corstorphine Hill for the dogs out at Corstorphine and Murrayfield. The shore path at Leith and the Promenade out to Portobello is a favourite walk for older dogs we see in Leith, Trinity and Joppa. Cats are usually long-resident garden cats in a Marchmont tenement, a Stockbridge colony flat or a Trinity semi. By the time someone rings us, putting an elderly pet into the car along Princes Street or out onto the city bypass for a clinic visit is rarely the right last thing. We cover the EH postcodes across the city: Old Town, New Town, Stockbridge, Comely Bank, Dean Village, Marchmont, Bruntsfield, Morningside, Newington, Southside, Tollcross, Haymarket, Murrayfield, Corstorphine, Roseburn, Leith, Trinity, Inverleith, Portobello and Liberton. Our vets are RCVS-registered and the visit is unhurried. Sedation is used first so your pet is asleep before anything else. Cremation is arranged through a trusted Scottish crematorium with private and communal options. The number on this page is our central booking line, answered by a person who will arrange a vet for your home visit in Edinburgh.

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 Edinburgh. 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 Edinburgh 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.
Across the EH1, EH3, EH4 postcodes we can usually reach a home in Edinburgh the same day, including Stockbridge, Marchmont, Morningside and Leith. Rural fringes and outlying areas may be next-morning earliest if the call comes in late in the day, but we will tell you straight away when we phone back. Lines are open from 8am to 8pm, seven days a week.
Yes, Stockbridge sits within our Edinburgh cover area and we visit there regularly. If you are right on the edge of where the Edinburgh team reaches, please phone the local number first to confirm. Most postcodes around Edinburgh are covered without a travel surcharge, and we will be straight with you if a different local team would actually get to you faster.
