Covering ME14, ME15, ME16, ME17, ME18, ME20& surrounding postcodes
Maidstone is the county town of Kent and the homes we visit here have a particular kind of rooted feel: Victorian terraces on the slopes above the Medway, ragstone cottages in Boughton Monchelsea and Loose, Edwardian semis in Bearsted and Penenden Heath, and farmhouses tucked into the lanes of the Weald. The dogs we are asked to see have often walked Mote Park, the Medway towpath up to Allington Lock, or the wooded slopes around Linton and Coxheath for years. The cats are usually long-resident garden cats in Tovil or East Farleigh. By the time families ring, the prospect of taking a frail pet in the car along the M20 or up the A229 for a clinic visit is rarely the right thing for the last appointment. We cover Maidstone itself across the ME postcodes, including Bearsted, Penenden Heath, Allington, Barming, Tovil, Loose, Coxheath and Boughton Monchelsea, and we travel out to Aylesford, Larkfield, Ditton, East Malling, West Malling, Mereworth, Yalding, Marden, Staplehurst, Bearsted, Hollingbourne and Lenham. Our vets are RCVS-registered. Sedation is used first so your pet is asleep before anything else happens, and the visit is unhurried, typically around an hour at the home. Cremation is arranged through a trusted Kent provider, with private and communal options. The number on this page is the Kent line, answered by a person who books our local vets for Maidstone home visits.
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 Maidstone. 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 Maidstone 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 ME14, ME15, ME16 postcodes we can usually reach a home in Maidstone the same day, including Bearsted, Loose, Boughton Monchelsea and Penenden Heath. 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.
Yes, Bearsted sits within our Maidstone cover area and we visit there regularly. If you are right on the edge of where the Maidstone team reaches, please phone the local number first to confirm. Most postcodes around Maidstone are covered without a travel surcharge, and we will be straight with you if a different local team would actually get to you faster.
