Supporting You and Your Pet Through the Final Journey

Saying goodbye to a beloved pet is one of the most difficult decisions a family can face. Our at-home euthanasia service is designed to give you and your pet the comfort, privacy, and peace you deserve during this time.

At Vet on the Loose, we’ve helped many customers with gentle and compassionate end-of-life care for dogs and cats across Harlow, Bishop’s Stortford, Sawbridgeworth, Takeley, Cheshunt, Hoddesdon, Ware, Hertford, Enfield, Chelmsford, Braintree, and Great Dunmow.

By coming to your home, we help minimise stress and anxiety for your pet, allowing them to be surrounded by familiar sights, smells, and loved ones.

Whether your pet is suffering from a terminal illness, chronic pain, or a decline in quality of life, we’ll guide you through the process with sensitivity, patience, and respect. We take the time to talk through your concerns and explain every step, ensuring you feel supported and informed

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know when it’s time?

We understand this can be a difficult decision, and it might never feel like the “right” time. But we’ll always discuss your pet’s health and quality of life and guide you through the decision with compassion and honesty - making sure you know all of the options and without pressuring you to make any immediate decisions.

What should I expect?

Our end-of-life services include sedation, to ensure your pet’s as peaceful and comfortable as possible as they move on. In reality, it usually looks as though they’re very relaxed, and going into a peaceful sleep.

We’ll explain each step in advance, and you’ll have control over the experience. Our goal is to provide a gentle, peaceful transition for your pet and a supportive environment for you.

You can decide what happens after your pet’s passed; whether they stay at home or you choose to use the services of a crematorium - which we can recommend, or you can choose your own.
