Slough sits at the eastern end of Berkshire where the Thames bends toward Windsor, and the homes we visit here cover a wide span: post-war semis in Cippenham and Manor Park, terraces in Chalvey and Upton, larger family houses out toward Stoke Poges and Farnham Royal, and the village cottages of Datchet, Wraysbury and Horton along the river. The dogs we are asked to see have often walked Langley Park, Black Park, Burnham Beeches, the meadows at Eton Wick or the Jubilee River path for years. The cats here are usually long-resident garden cats in Wexham or single-room cats in the terraced streets off the Bath Road. By the time families ring, the idea of taking a frail pet in the car along the M4 or up the A4 for a clinic visit is rarely what they want for the last appointment. We cover Slough itself across SL1 to SL3, including Cippenham, Manor Park, Chalvey, Upton, Wexham, Colnbrook, Langley and Ditton Park, and we travel out to Burnham, Farnham Royal, Farnham Common, Stoke Poges, Eton, Eton Wick, Datchet, Horton, Wraysbury and Iver. Our vets are RCVS-registered. Sedation is used first so your pet is asleep before anything else, and the visit is unhurried. Cremation is arranged through a trusted Berkshire provider, with private or communal options. The number on this page is the Berkshire line, answered by a person who books our local vets for Slough home visits.

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.

If you have chosen cremation, we co-ordinate everything with a trusted partner. Ashes returned, or communal cremation if you prefer.

Honest, transparent pricing

Real prices, by pet size.

Medium dog, up to 25kg£295
Large dog, up to 50kg£315
Extra large dog, up to 80kg£350
Giant dog, 80kg and over£370

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 Slough 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.

Where will my pet be cremated from Slough?

Cremation is handled through a trusted partner working across the South East, so your pet stays in the local area. The cremation partner collects your pet directly from your home in Slough 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.

Do you cover Cippenham?

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

How things end matters.

We are here whenever you are ready.

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