Pet Euthanasia at Home in Sheffield

Everybody wants the best for their beloved pet when it comes to their end of their life, my compassionate home Euthanasia and End of Life Care service ensures a painless and peaceful goodbye.

Speaking as both a mobile vet in Sheffield and a pet owner, I understand how upsetting and confusing this time can be. I’m here to guide you through this difficult time in your pet’s life and help you with your decision making. My name is Rebecca and I qualified as a vet in 1995, having worked in many different vets’ surgeries throughout my long career I realised that there is a better way than the traditional end of life pet visit at a vet.

Many pets are distressed by the traditional vet visit, so I wanted to find a way to make it easier for them – and for you, their family during this difficult time. CalmPawz gives you the opportunity to say goodbye with absolute privacy without having to visit a vet’s surgery.

You can be confident about my ability to carry out this service as I have also completed the Euthanasia Master Program which demonstrates my commitment to euthanasia best practices. Take a look at some of my reviews if you would like to see what my recent clients have said about their experience.

Book an End-of-life Care Consultation for your pet

An end-of-life care consultation is important as it will help with your decision-making process and determine best course of action – with both your pet and your best interests in mind. You may choose to say goodbye during this consultation, book a further visit to give you more time or try a treatment option. Either way, you will be supported and most importantly, not pushed into anything you don’t feel comfortable doing.

A typical consultation will look like:

A review of your pet’s current condition, symptoms, medication and care plan
A gentle physical examination will take place
Your pet’s quality of life will be taken into consideration
I will give you my expert opinion on ‘the right time’ for your pet
Discuss how to keep your pet as pain free as possible
Let you know what to do should an emergency situation with your pet occur

It’s far better act early if you are concerned about your pets health or quality of life – book your consultation now.

How does Home Euthanasia work?

Euthanasia, or otherwise known as putting your dog to sleep, is sometimes the only compassionate way to ease a pet’s pain and suffering. Understandably, it’s a time that no pet owner wants to think about but many do take comfort in knowing that home euthanasia is painless, stress free and far more easing in the familiarity of your own home.

A typical home euthanasia will include:

I will arrive at your home at the arranged time and greet your pet and you r family
I will discuss the euthanasia process in full and assess if your pet requires a consultation beforehand (if one has not been done by me recently). If your pet is in crisis or an emergency situation, their welfare will take priority
I will obtain your consent for the euthanasia of your pet
Your pet will be sedated
I will euthanise your pet in your chosen special place when you and your family are ready
I can assist with after-care arrangements or guide you on handling this yourselves

I don’t have set working hours – we’ll arrange an appointment to suit you.
