Pet Cremations

The decision of what to do with your pets body after being put to sleep can be varied and confusing. Do give us a call and we are happy to discuss all the options available.

The standard process is for your pet to be cremated, however if available you are permitted to bury your pet in you own garden or land. If you opt for a cremation service then you have two options to chose from.

1. Standard cremation where  your pets ashes are kept and buried by the pet crematorium. This is often the most economical option costing between £30.00-£150.00
2. An Individual Cremation and return of the ashes to you. Here you can decide to have the ashes returned to you for keeping in an urn or casket; or a “scatter tube” to allow you to bury or scatter the ashes at a location dear to you or your pet. Cost of this type of pet cremation varies depending on the casket/urn or remembrance item selected. Average costs are £180-£450

Vets 2 Your Pets is happy to arrange for a cremation to be carried out through one of our trusted partner organisations and if desired, have your dog or cats ashes returned to you for keeping or scattering. We work closely with independent crematoriums across the UK, and look to arrange your pet’s cremation to be performed near you for convenient return of your pet’s ashes in an Urn, Casket or Scatter Tube.

A further option, that can sometimes be more economical and trusted, is for us to transfer your pets body to your normal vet practice for them to carry out the cremation and return of ashes (as desired). 

You may have already selected and made all the arrangements with a crematorium for the  collection of your pets body. We are very happy to work alongside your selected pet crematorium company and just concentrate on the peaceful home euthanasia.

Pet cremation cost, as indicated above, vary broadly, pending on the type, size of your pet and the remembrance urn or service you require. Please note: cremation fees are invoiced and paid independently to the pet crematorium or vet practice and are not included in our Pet Home Visit Euthanasia fees. Please feel free to call us  to discuss the options available and expected pet cremation costs near you. We are happy to help you navigate through this decision process.

A house call out for pet euthanasia by our home visiting vets will ensure your beloved dog, cat, or rabbit is put sleep in a calm, peaceful manner. In the environment they are happy and comfortable in.
