Compassionate at Home Euthanasia for Dogs & Cats in Cornwall
Gentle, Compassionate Home Visit
Dr Nicola Carrier is a home-visit vet who provides compassionate, dignified, and peaceful pet euthanasia in the comfort of your own home. This removes the stress of travelling to the clinic or waiting in a busy environment when your pet needs calm the most.
Nothing is rushed. Nicola takes time to understand you and your pet before giving a gentle sedation injection, allowing them to drift into a relaxed, pain-free sleep. Once they are fully settled, the final injection is given.
A visit usually takes around 45 minutes to an hour, giving you the space and time to say goodbye peacefully.
