Paws to Sleep offers at-home euthanasia of dogs, cats, rabbits and small rodents throughout Gloucestershire, Herefordshire, Worcestershire, Southeast Wales and surrounding areas.
We understand your pet is part of your family, and it can be a challenging time when your beloved companion is preparing to pass over. At Paws to Sleep, we support a deep level of care for you and your pet at the end of life.
Euthanasia at home (instead of the clinic) can often be much more supportive and comfortable for you and your pet, as you are both in a familiar and more nurturing environment, and it is without the added stress of needing to transport your pet to a vet clinic, where they may feel quite fearful. It may also be supportive, if you have other pets, to help them to realise that their family member has passed over.
At Paws to Sleep, we offer at-home euthanasia to support both you and your companion in this transition. The level of care and of support offered during this time is gentle and respectful of your pet and your wishes, and we can assist you so that aftercare is conducted with the highest of integrity.
How it works ...
