We're here to help - whenever you need us!

Out of Hours

We know that a pet’s passing doesn’t always happen during the day. If your pet passes away at home in the evening, overnight, early morning or at the weekend, we’re here to support you — calmly, professionally and with care — ensuring your pet is brought into our care without delay.


Our service is available 24/7, so you can contact us at any time. If your pet has passed away at home or at your veterinary practice, we can attend outside normal hours to collect them with dignity and respect. Additional charges apply for collections after 8pm. This is often the right option for families who experience an unexpected loss at home, need support in the evening, or simply don’t want to wait until the next day.


We also offer out of hours home euthanasia, allowing your pet to pass peacefully in the comfort of home — even during evenings, weekends or late at night. These appointments are subject to availability, with additional charges after 5pm, at weekends and on bank holidays. Many families choose this to avoid emergency clinic visits and to keep their pet in a familiar, settled environment.


At such an emotional and often overwhelming time, having immediate support can make all the difference. Families come to us because they want a prompt response, clear guidance, and a service they can trust at any hour. Whether you need urgent collection or simply someone to talk things through with, you’ll be met with understanding, reassurance and straightforward information.


If you require out of hours support, please call us on 01204 263 115 so we can help you straight away. For non-urgent enquiries, or to discuss arrangements in advance, you are welcome to complete our contact form and we will respond as soon as we can.
