Covering LE10& surrounding postcodes
Hinckley sits in the corner of Leicestershire where the county meets Warwickshire, with the Ashby Canal running through and Burbage Common a short walk from the centre. Many of the families we see here have dogs that have walked the Common, the canal towpath or the fields out toward Sketchley Brook for years. By the time someone calls us, a clinic appointment usually feels harder for your pet than a familiar bed at home. We cover Hinckley town itself, Burbage, Earl Shilton, Barwell, Sapcote, Stoke Golding and Higham on the Hill, and we travel out to Market Bosworth, Twycross, Sharnford and the villages along the A5 toward Nuneaton. Our vets are RCVS-registered and the appointment is calm and unhurried; sedation is used as standard so your pet is asleep before anything else happens. We can hold the visit in the lounge, the kitchen, a quiet bedroom or the garden depending on where your pet is most settled. Cremation is arranged through a Midlands provider we have worked with for some time, with private and communal options. Ashes are returned usually within 48 hours. We give a single, clear price on the booking call and it does not change on the day. The number on this page is the local line for the Hinckley area and is answered by a real person.
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 Hinckley. 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 £25 for the first 15 miles, then £1.60 per mile after that. Any additional mileage is confirmed clearly before you book.
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 Hinckley 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 (£60 each, or £89 combined). 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 LE10 postcodes we can usually reach a home in Hinckley the same day, including Burbage, Earl Shilton, Barwell and Sapcote. 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.
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.
