Covering SO14, SO15, SO16, SO17, SO18, SO19& surrounding postcodes
Southampton is a water city with a long edge of parks and the dogs we visit have usually walked the same routes for years: Southampton Common for the homes around Highfield, Bassett, Portswood and Banister Park, Riverside Park along the Itchen for the streets in Bitterne Park and Swaythling, Mayflower Park and the waterfront for the older retrievers and labradors of Ocean Village and Town Quay, Mayfield Park for the families in Weston and Sholing, Lordswood Park for the dogs out at Lordswood and Maybush. The Itchen Navigation towpath through Mansbridge is a favourite for the older spaniels we see. Cats are usually long-resident garden cats in a Portswood Edwardian terrace, a Shirley semi or a Bitterne cul-de-sac. By the time someone rings us, putting an elderly pet into the car along The Avenue or out across the Itchen Bridge for a clinic visit is rarely the right last thing. We cover the SO14 to SO19 postcodes across the city: Old Town, Bargate, Bevois Town, Newtown, St Marys, Portswood, Highfield, Bassett, Swaythling, Bitterne Park, Bitterne, Sholing, Weston, Woolston, Thornhill, Harefield, Townhill Park, Mansbridge, Coxford, Maybush, Lordswood, Aldermoor, Shirley, Freemantle and Millbrook. Our vets are RCVS-registered and the visit is unhurried. Sedation is used first. Cremation is arranged through a trusted Hampshire crematorium. The number on this page is our central booking line, answered by a person who will arrange a vet for your home visit in Southampton.
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 Southampton. 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 Southampton 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.
Yes, Portswood sits within our Southampton cover area and we visit there regularly. If you are right on the edge of where the Southampton team reaches, please phone the local number first to confirm. Most postcodes around Southampton are covered without a travel surcharge, and we will be straight with you if a different local team would actually get to you faster.
Yes, every vet visiting Southampton 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.
