Fair Care.
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 Newcastle upon Tyne families is simple: clear standards, honest pricing, and the time and space to say goodbye properly.
Every visit follows the same gentle process, delivered by an RCVS-qualified vet.
You know exactly what to expect at every stage, including aftercare and cremation.
Real prices shown by pet size. No call-out charges and no surprises.
We allow as long as your family needs. This is never rushed.
Covering NE1, NE2, NE3, NE4, NE6, NE7, NE15& surrounding postcodes
Newcastle is a tightly-knit city, and many of the dogs we visit have walked the same paths for years, from the slopes of Jesmond Dene down to Pets Corner or the Hadrian's Way path along the Tyne. By the time the conversation turns to a final visit, an elderly pet in a car along the Coast Road for a clinic appointment is rarely the right last thing.
Areas we visit
Not sure if we cover your village? Phone the local number and we will let you know.
Our vets cover the NE postcodes across the city and reach Jesmond, Heaton, Gosforth and Sandyford in same-day cover, with Gateshead, Low Fell and Whickham across the river, the coast at Wallsend, Tynemouth and Whitley Bay, and out to Longbenton and Newburn usually reachable too. Sedation is given first, on a familiar bed or blanket, and your pet drifts into a deep sleep before the final injection. The appointment is unhurried, usually around an hour. Cremation is arranged through a trusted North East partner who collect directly from the home after the visit; private cremation returns the ashes within 48 hours. The number on this page is a direct local Newcastle line.
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 Newcastle upon Tyne. 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 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.

“I can’t thank Dr Alex enough from the Pet Euthanasia People. We had to have our beloved Great Dane Max put to sleep very suddenly. I contacted them and they were able to send Dr Alex within 1.5hrs. Dr Alex was so compassionate. She explained everything and made a truly horrible…”

“It was a very difficult day saying goodbye to my boy who I’ve had for 13 beautiful years but cannot thank Jennie and Simone (vet) enough for being there for us. It was such a peaceful and calm process. Jennie really took time to talk us through the process and I was able to ask…”

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 Newcastle upon Tyne 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 (£70 each, or £89 combined, and £100 overnight). 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.
Cremation is handled through a trusted partner working across the North East, so your pet stays in the local area. The cremation partner collects your pet directly from your home in Newcastle upon Tyne after the appointment, and they return the ashes, usually within 48 hours. If you would prefer communal cremation, with no ashes returned, that option is available too. Either way, the choice is yours and we will explain everything before the visit.
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.
