Our beloved Hector was sent over the 🌈 bridge by Dr Emma, who was very kind, caring and made the very sad time a little easier. He went to Chestnut lodge, but now is back with us.

We had to part with our beautiful Ruby Tuesday yesterday From my first phone call to our home visit from Dr Jo you could not ask for a more caring and personal service. Ruby left us peacefully with no stress or fear in the familiar surroundings of her own home. Thank you for helping me and my fantastic Ruby through this very hard process.

You're reading this because you want the best for your beloved pet, Vets2Home are the absolute best. The day came we knew we had to let our precious girl go. Our hearts were breaking, it was a Sunday but Dr Jo came out to us, what a beautiful human being, in our deepest grief he was beyond wonderful. Quite simply you will not do better. Your pet deserves this and by using Vets2Home you are being the best pet parent possible.

We used Vets2Home when our beautiful dog Betty had cancer and only a few weeks to live. I always knew I wanted Betty to have a “good” death, at home, not at the vets where she was frightened, so we did a lot of research before making such a heartbreaking decision. One of the most helpful things was their blog about knowing when the time is right. Reading the advice that it’s “better to go a day, or even a month, too early than a day too late” gave us the reassurance we needed to make that decision with love rather than fear. Everything about Pets4Home was exceptional. From the very first phone call, to the gentle communication and text updates on the day so we knew exactly when to expect Dr Emma, everything was calm, kind and thoughtful. Emma took the time to get to know us as a family and explained everything clearly and compassionately. Betty died in my arms, being stroked by my husband, feeling safe and deeply loved. Never has a moment been so terrible and beautiful at the same time. The aftercare was just as moving. From the way Betty was carefully tucked up and placed into Emma’s car with flowers and fairy lights, to having her ashes personally returned to us, along with paw prints and fur clippings. Every detail was handled with such dignity and care. I cannot recommend Pets4Home highly enough. When the time comes for any of our other animals to cross the rainbow bridge in the future, I wouldn’t go anywhere else.

Yesterday, Dr Jo visited my friend to euthanise her beloved 19 year old cat, Maisie. He was so very kind and gentle and took the time to fully explain each step of the process and not to rush things in any way. We were both very grateful to him and to Vets2Home who arranged the visit at short notice. To let your pet die peacefully in their own home is the last kind thing you can do for them. Thank you

This is the second time we have called out the lovely Suzen to take care of one of our girls. She took such great care of our gorgeous Rottweiler Mizzie last year that when our gorgeous little girl Bobbie, our14 year old cat, recently took a turn for the worst we didn’t hesitate to call her. It Is a heart breaking time when you know what you have to do for your loved ones. Suzen treated our girls with compassion and respect. Our girls spent their last moments in their own home, relaxed and with the family that loved them. We can not recommend Suzen enough. So glad that we could look after our girls in such a respectful way. Many thanks to Suzen

It is the third time now that Suzen has looked after one of our babies. Our beautiful 10 & 1/2 year old Lara needed her help on the day after Boxing Day and we were so grateful that she could come out to her so quickly. The care and compassion that she gives out is unbelievable. The Vets2Home team takes what is a completely heartbreaking experience and actually manages to make it as peaceful, calming and as bearable as it can be. Thank you, Suzen for all your help and compassion looking after our babies.

A week ago, Dr Suzen visited my beautiful boy at home and the experience - from the first phone call to the Vets2Home team, to the collection of Postie's ashes less than a week later - was truly exceptional. Despite knowing he was reaching the end and letting me know that he'd had enough, making the final decision is one of the hardest things I've ever had to do. Dr Suzen was so kind and reassuring both to me and, most importantly, to Postie. She gave us all the time we needed; the process was peaceful and full of love for him and Dr Suzen spent time with me afterwards making sure that he was laid completely comfortably before we carried him outside to her car. He was a big greyhound but he was put into a lovely big bed with plenty of room, a pillow and a blanket and Dr Suzen even left a candle for him with me, which has meant such a lot ever since. Postie was so precious to me and sending him away afterwards was something I really dreaded but when the time came, I had no doubt that he was going be given the utmost care and respect. His ashes were hand-delivered by the team back to his vets and I received a personal text from Vets2Home to let me know he was ready for me to collect. I just wouldn't hesitate to recommend the team and their service to anyone. I know it's something none of us want to think about but there is a huge amount of reassurance in knowing that people like this exist. Thank you so much for making the worst of days as special as it could possibly be.

After struggling with diabetes, arthritis and kidney failure we made the difficult choice to send our 18 year old girl Flo over the rainbow bridge. The team at Vets2Home were incredible, everything was clearly communicated and the process was so considerate of what we wanted to do. I had really challenged whether it was the right thing, and the vet Emma was so knowledgeable and empathetic with us, which really put that to ease. I can’t imagine how difficult that job is to do but their ability to make the whole situation calmer was amazing. From initial contact to receiving Flo’s ashes, I couldn’t fault them for anything. I am Neurodivergent and having this level of detail and care at such a hard time was so important to me. Thank you Amanda & Emma, and the Vets2Now team ❤️

Craig Mayhew

It’s taken me a while to get round to writing this. As it was such a difficult choice. But I can’t not praise Dr Suzan and her team enough for the support and dignified manor they helped and supported us, and ultimately our beloved cookie to pass on. A truely amazing and caring team. Thank you
