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 Kent 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.

Kent is a long county and the homes we visit run the full span of it, north Kent terraces in Chatham or Gillingham, oast house conversions in the Weald, bungalows on the Isle of Sheppey, Georgian cottages in Faversham or Sandwich, and Edwardian semis in the Tunbridge Wells streets behind the common. The pet at the centre of the appointment changes too: a labrador who has walked the North Downs Way for years, a cat who has barely left a single front room in Whitstable. We cover Maidstone, Medway (Rochester, Chatham, Gillingham), Tonbridge, Tunbridge Wells, Sevenoaks, Ashford, Canterbury, Folkestone, Dover, Margate, Ramsgate, Faversham, Sittingbourne, Dartford and Gravesend, and we travel out into the villages between. Our vets are RCVS-registered. Sedation is used first so your pet is sleeping before anything else. We can adjust the appointment around the home, the weather and your pet: a corner of the garden if it is warm, a familiar bed in the kitchen, the boot of the car if the dog is happiest there. Cremation is arranged through trusted Kent partners, with private and communal options and ashes returned. We give a clear, written price on the booking call. If you are anywhere in the county and unsure whether we reach you, please phone the number on this page and we will tell you straight.

What a visit looks like in Kent

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

We recently had to say goodbye to our family pet - Milo, and I cannot thank the team enough for the care and compassion they showed us throughout such a heartbreaking time. From the very first contact, they went above and beyond to guide us gently through the process, giving us…

Sadly, Roxy pug dog was critical overnight and I completed the online form knowing they wouldn't respond until 0800. At 0815 Pet Euthanasia made contact and took all my stress and concerns away. After that one call, I was able to do everything via WhatsApp which meant I could be…

My 19 year old three legged cat, Poppy, unfortunately came to the end of her very adventurous life. Three legs never stopped her from doing anything, a lovely girl with attitude, and we loved her very much. The decision to say goodbye, as always, very difficult. From the moment…

The Pet Euthanasia People were very kind and helpful when it came to my old boys time to go. Jennie on the phone rang around to find a Vet able to come out in the evening to us, Dr Maria arrived from Liverpool at 9pm, an hour’s drive from our home, and she was so nice and…

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 Kent 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 (£60 each, or £89 combined). 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.

Which areas around Kent are covered for same-day visits?

Across the ME, CT, TN postcodes we can usually reach a home in Kent the same day, including Maidstone, Medway, Tunbridge Wells and Sevenoaks. 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.

Do you cover Maidstone?

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

How things end matters.

We are here whenever you are ready.

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