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 Preston 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 PR1, PR2, PR4, PR5& surrounding postcodes
Preston is the most settled-feeling city in Lancashire and the families we visit reflect that, long-standing terraced streets in Plungington and Deepdale, semis in Fulwood and Ashton, riverside houses in Penwortham, and quieter homes in Longton and Hutton out toward the Ribble Estuary. Many of the dogs we see have walked Avenham and Miller Park for years; the cats often know the back gardens of one street and no further. By the time families ring, taking your pet in the car is rarely what they want for the last appointment. We cover Preston itself across PR1 to PR5, including Plungington, Deepdale, Ribbleton, Fulwood, Ashton, Greyfriars and Frenchwood, and travel south of the river to Penwortham, Walton-le-Dale, Bamber Bridge, Lostock Hall, Longton and Hutton. We also reach Fulwood, Broughton, Goosnargh and the villages out toward Garstang. Our vets are RCVS-registered. Sedation is used first so your pet is asleep before the second injection, and the visit is unhurried. We can hold the appointment in the lounge, the kitchen, the back garden or a quiet bedroom, wherever your pet is most settled. Cremation is arranged through a local Lancashire crematorium, private or communal, with ashes returned within 48 hours. The number on this page is the local Preston line.
Areas we visit

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 Preston. 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.

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 Preston 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.
Across the PR1, PR2, PR4 postcodes we can usually reach a home in Preston the same day, including Plungington, Deepdale, Ribbleton and Fulwood. 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.
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.
