Services
- •Peaceful in-home euthanasia: A core part of the service, with owners repeatedly describing pets being able to remain at home, including in their bed, garden or in an owner’s arms, with a calm and unhurried process.
- •Holistic consultations for ongoing issues: Reviews describe detailed consultations that take a thorough history and look at the whole picture rather than a single symptom, including behaviour and general health.
- •Herbs and oils as part of holistic support: Owners describe a choice-led approach using pre-selected herbs and cat-safe essential oils, with selected remedies left to continue at home. One recent review also mentions natural remedies being used to support recovery alongside conventional medication.
- •Acupuncture: Mentioned in reviews as an option for joint pain.
