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 London 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, across London and the surrounding area.

London is a city of small interiors and tightly-held routines for the pets who live in them. A cat in a Hackney flat has its own well-worn patch of sofa; a spaniel in Wandsworth has walked the same morning loop for a decade. By the time the family is ready to talk about a final visit, most would rather it happened in the room their pet trusts, on the bed or sofa they have spent ten years settling on.

What a visit looks like in London

  • RCVS-qualified vet at your door, often the same morning
  • Sedation first on a familiar bed or blanket; final injection only when your pet is in a deep sleep
  • Cremation arranged with a trusted local partner who collect directly from your home
  • Ashes returned within 48 hours if you choose private cremation

Not sure if we cover your village? Phone the local number and we will let you know.

Our vets cover all of Greater London, the inner boroughs and the outer ones alike, and reach the M25 fringes the same day in most cases. Same-day visits are usually possible when you phone us early in the day, and quieter morning or evening slots are available once the house has settled. Sedation is given first, on a familiar bed or blanket, and your pet drifts into a deep sleep before anything else happens. The appointment is unhurried, usually around an hour. Cremation is arranged through a trusted London partner who collect directly from the home; private cremation returns the ashes within 48 hours. The number on this page is a direct local London line.

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

I could not recommend Jennie & Dr Jack for the compassionate care they provided during one of the most difficult moments when we had to say goodbye to our beloved house cat, Pickles. The kindness, sensitivity and professionalism shown by all the staff made a huge difference.…

Caring and professional. Jack who visited us on 12th July to send Millie to be with her best friend Poppy, was so kind and he took charge in such a way that gave us very precious time with Millie. Her transition though desperately upsetting for us, was so beautiful to see 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 London 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.

How long does a vet from your team take to get to London?

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.

Will the vet visiting London have done this before?

Yes, every vet visiting London 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 London team is here to listen. No pressure, just a calm conversation about what is best for your pet.
