Pet Euthanasia at Home in Worksop
If you believe your pet is at their end of life the last thing you’ll want to do is the traditional vet visit surrounded by other people and their pets. Thankfully, Calm Pawz offers a much better way for both the pet and their loving owners.
Home euthanasia is a truly dignified and peaceful farewell for your pet in the comfort and privacy of your own home. Your dog or cat will feel much more at ease in their favourite place that is familiar and safe, surrounded by their loved ones.
My name is Rebecca, and I am a qualified mobile vet of over 20 years and a pet owner myself. I truly understand just how difficult and upsetting this time can be so let me guide you through it, with compassion and understanding. Having helped many pet owners in the same situation throughout Worksop, I’m on hand to help you make those difficult decisions with my home euthanasia and end of life care service.
In my continuous efforts to offer the very best service during this sad time, I have completed the Euthanasia Master Program which demonstrates my commitment to euthanasia best practices. You can be confident that your pet is in very safe hands.
Book an End-of-life Care Consultation for your pet
To ensure that the right decision is made for your beloved pet, I would always encourage an end-of-life consultation. You may say goodbye to your dog or cat during this consultation if that is the correct course of action, or we can book a further appointment to give you more time with your pet or try an alternative treatment option. I will never push you in to a decision that you don’t feel comfortable or happy with, I will only ever give honest and experienced advise based on your pets’ best interests and quality of life.
A typical end of life care consultation includes:
- I will assess your dog or cats condition, symptoms, medication and care plan
- A gentle physical examination will take place
- A quality-of-life assessment
- I will give my honest expert opinion on ‘the right time’ for your pet
- I will create a plan to keep your pet as pain free as possible
- I will offer advice on what to do in an emergency situation after the consultation
Having sadly seen this all too often, I encourage pet owners to book an end of life care consultation as early as possible before it becomes an emergency situation – book your consultation now.

What pets do we euthanise at home in Worksop?
Dog Euthanasia at home
My work as a mobile vet in Worksop and throughout Bassetlaw means I support many dogs throughout their entire lifetime. Naturally, this also means I am also there for them at their end of life. Having completed the Euthanasia Master Program your loyal companion will be in the safest of hands, surrounded by their favourite humans and toys in the place they feel most happy in. I truly believe this is the best goodbye you can offer them. If you believe that your dog needs my home euthanasia service in Worksop please contact me.
Cat Euthanasia at home
Home euthanasia for cats is growing in popularity and this is because cats don’t typically enjoy going to a vet’s practise. Due to their nature, leaving their territory, the unfamiliar smells and being restrained makes for a very unpleasant experience for both the cat and owners. That is why my home euthanasia service is so important to avoid any unnecessary stress and anxiety during an already difficult time. For home euthanasia for your cat in Worksop contact me at the earliest opportunity.
What happens after home euthanasia?
I can organise cremations for pets. I will gladly listen to any special wishes you have for your dog or cats remains and try to make these happen if possible. You are of course able to organise cremation yourself or carry out a home burial should you have permission.
