Not sure if we cover your village? Phone the local number and we will let you know.

Tarporley is a long, single-street village in the middle of the Cheshire plain, with the sandstone ridge of Beeston and Peckforton rising a short drive away. The dogs we are asked to see here have often walked the ridge path, the lanes around Beeston Castle, or the towpath of the Shropshire Union for years; the cats tend to be settled in one of the long-resident village houses or the surrounding farmhouses. We cover Tarporley itself and travel out to Beeston, Peckforton, Bunbury, Eaton, Cotebrook, Utkinton, Tiverton, Tilstone Fearnall, Wettenhall, Calveley, Burland and Faddiley. We can also reach Kelsall, Duddon, Ashton Hayes and Tarvin on request. Our vets are RCVS-registered. Sedation is used first so your pet is sleeping before anything else happens, and the visit is unhurried, typically around an hour. The appointment can be held in the front room, the kitchen, a porch or in a corner of the garden depending on the dog or cat. Cremation is arranged through a trusted Cheshire crematorium, with private and communal options, and ashes returned within 48 hours. Costs are explained on the booking call and there are no additions on the day. The phone number on this page is the local Tarporley line; it rings to a person who books our local vets.

My 19 year old three legged cat, Poppy, unfortunately came to the end of her very adventurous life. Three legs never stopped her from doing anything, a lovely girl with attitude, and we loved her very much. The decision to say goodbye, as always, very difficult. From the moment…

The Pet Euthanasia People were very kind and helpful when it came to my old boys time to go. Jennie on the phone rang around to find a Vet able to come out in the evening to us, Dr Maria arrived from Liverpool at 9pm, an hour’s drive from our home, and she was so nice and…

I recently required the services of the Pet euthanasia people, as my beloved cat Evie off 18 years health took a sudden decline where her existence was miserable and painful to watch.Evie had been there for me and my family but now it was my turn to accept her life was coming…

Such a lovely friendly and reassuring service. Our beagle took ill quicker than expected and jennie was so supportive throughout it all. To have luna have her last moments in the comfort of her own home was what we wanted and to have someone else arrange the vet and cremation…

I cannot fault the service I received from beginning to end. The time had come to part with my beloved cockerpoo Rupert after his battle with chronic kidney disease. I felt supported throughout and his passing was peacefully conducted by a wonderfully kind lady who made me feel…

I would highly recommend the pet euthanasia people. My amazing dog Kaiser became seriously ill and was in a lot of pain and so suddenly. I found the pet euthanasia team who sent a lovely vet round to our home within 1 hour of the call. She was so gentle and made Kaiser feel at…

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 Tarporley 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 (£60 each, or £89 combined). 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 Tarporley?

Cremation is arranged through a trusted North West partner, so your pet stays in the local area. The cremation partner collects your pet directly from your home in Tarporley 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.

How long does a vet from your team take to get to Tarporley?

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.

How things end matters.

We are here whenever you are ready.

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