Bowwout

The kind way to end a beloved pet's suffering - At Home Euthanasia
Bowwout is a home euthanasia service for pets whose owners wish to have their dog or cat put to sleep by a kind, experienced veterinary surgeon in the familiar surroundings of home.
 

The vet, usually myself (Liz) arrives at your home, casually dressed and with no surgery smells! After being introduced to your pet I give him or her a sedative. We complete the necessary paperwork, and watch over your pet, often with a cuppa and chat, until the sedative takes full effect. He or she might be curled up in your arms, or lying comfortably in their own bed, as they gradually fall into a deep sleep and become unaware of their surroundings.

After your pet has passed away the safe and legal aftercare of the body is important. We'll discuss the options at an earlier stage, but they are mainly burial or cremation. 
Burial at home is often a favoured option; it is wise to check and comply with any bye-laws in your area first.
Cremation offers two options. In group cremation the body is cremated in a large chamber with other pets and the ashes not returned. In private cremation the pet is cremated in a single chamber, and the ashes returned to the owner.
At all times your pet's body wil be treated with dignity and respect.

What you need to do
You can contact us by phone, text, WhatsApp or email, whichever you prefer. If we don't reply relatively quickly, especially with email, I suggest you use one of the others.
Payment
Payments are made before or on the day of euthanasia.
Cost of Euthanasia
The cost of euthanasia varies depending on where you live; it is agreed before the appointment is made.
Cost of Cremation
The cost of cremation is agreed in advance and depends on whether group or private cremation has been chosen. We usually take his/her body on the day, and when the ashes are ready we meet you at an agreed place to return them.   Alternatively you can make private arrangements with a crematorium of your choice.
