Lincoln is a small cathedral city with a steep hill at its heart and the homes we visit reflect that geography: stone cottages tucked into the lanes up around Steep Hill and Bailgate, the long Victorian streets running down through Newport and West Parade, the post-war semis spreading west into Birchwood and Boultham, the newer estates out at Bracebridge Heath and North Hykeham. The dogs we see have usually walked the same routes for years, the Arboretum for the families around Monks Road and Greetwell, the South Common and Boultham Park for the streets in Boultham and St Catherines, Hartsholme Country Park for the older retrievers and labradors of Birchwood and Doddington Park, the Witham towpath for the homes south of the river. Cats are long-resident garden cats in a Carholme terrace or a Bracebridge cul-de-sac, going in and out the back door for years. By the time we are called, putting an elderly pet into a car up Lindum Hill or out along the A46 for a clinic visit is rarely the right last thing. We cover the LN postcodes across the city: Uphill, Bailgate, Newport, West Parade, Carholme, Monks Road, Greetwell, St Giles, Ermine, Birchwood, Hartsholme, Boultham, St Catherines, Bracebridge, Bracebridge Heath, Waddington and North Hykeham. Our vets are RCVS-registered and the visit is unhurried. Sedation is used first. Cremation is arranged through a trusted Lincolnshire crematorium. The number on this page is our central booking line, answered by a person who will arrange a vet for your home visit in Lincoln.
