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.

How it works.

Three steps. We handle everything around the clinical care so your family can focus on being there.

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.

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.

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

Quality of Life Assessment (by phone)Free
Out-of-hours (evenings, weekends, bank holidays)+£70 to £100
Same-day visit+£70 to £100
Travel£39, however far we travel

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.

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 Lincoln 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 (£70 each, or £89 combined, and £100 overnight). 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.

Do you cover Bailgate?

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

Will the vet visiting Lincoln have done this before?

Yes, every vet visiting Lincoln is RCVS-qualified and trained for at-home euthanasia, the same gentle process every time. The same gentle process is followed on every visit: introductions and time to settle, a sedative first so your pet drifts into a deep sleep, and only then the final injection. We never rush, and we will explain each step quietly as we go.

How things end matters.

We are here whenever you are ready.

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