Covering M16, M17, M32, M33, WA14, WA15& surrounding postcodes
Trafford is a long ribbon of suburbs running west of Manchester between the Mersey and the Manchester Ship Canal, and the homes we visit here have a particular character: red-brick terraces in Old Trafford and Stretford, semis in Sale and Urmston, larger gardens in Davyhulme and Flixton, and the leafier streets of Sale Moor and Brooklands. The dogs we are asked to see have often walked the meadows along the Mersey at Sale Water Park, the loop at Wythenshawe Park, the towpath of the Bridgewater Canal at Stretford, or the playing fields at Longford Park for years. The cats here are usually long-resident garden cats in Davyhulme or sitting-room cats in an Urmston semi. By the time families ring, taking your pet in the car along the A56 or up to the Chorlton crossroads for a clinic visit is rarely the right thing for the last appointment. We cover Trafford itself across the M and WA postcodes, including Old Trafford, Stretford, Firswood, Gorse Hill, Trafford Park, Urmston, Davyhulme, Flixton, Sale, Sale Moor, Brooklands, Ashton on Mersey and Carrington. 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 Greater Manchester crematorium, with private or communal options. The number on this page is the Manchester line, answered by a person who books our local vets for Trafford home visits.
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 Trafford. 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 £25 for the first 15 miles, then £1.60 per mile after that. Any additional mileage is confirmed clearly before you book.
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.

“We have had to use this service twice in the last four months as we have been cat parents for the past twenty years. When the time came and it was obvious that the first one had no quality of life we couldn't bear the thought of taking her in the car to the vet - and saying…”

“Sadly, Roxy pug dog was critical overnight and I completed the online form knowing they wouldn't respond until 0800. At 0815 Pet Euthanasia made contact and took all my stress and concerns away. After that one call, I was able to do everything via WhatsApp which meant I could be…”

“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…”

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 Trafford 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 (£60 each, or £89 combined). 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 M16, M17, M32 postcodes we can usually reach a home in Trafford the same day, including Old Trafford, Stretford, Urmston and Davyhulme. 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.
