Clinic Overview

Quietus Vet is a dedicated at-home pet euthanasia service (not described as part of a corporate group in the available information). The website describes a “3‑Step technique” designed to minimise anxiety and pain, including sedation and a general anaesthetic (GA) before the final step. In recent reviews, owners repeatedly describe an unhurried, explained-in-advance process (including being told what reactions to expect), with time to say goodbye and small follow-up touches such as a handwritten bereavement card. Reviews also mention being able to choose cremation options, including individual cremation and the return of ashes.

Services

  • Home pet euthanasia (at the owner’s home).
  • A described “3‑Step”/three-injection process, with the website stating it includes sedation and a general anaesthetic (GA) to prevent anxiety and pain; multiple reviews also mention three injections and that it was not rushed.
  • Discussion of what to expect during the process (reviews mention explanations of each step and how pets—specifically cats—may react to injections).
  • Cremation options discussed in advance (reviews mention being given options, including individual cremation and ashes returned; one review notes ashes returned after two weeks and a slate urn).

People

  • Paul: Mentioned as the person who explains the process on the phone and talks owners through options (including cremation). One reviewer says he was able to attend earlier than planned when their pet worsened, and another mentions he offered advice to make the pet more comfortable before the visit. Reviews also mention a handwritten card from Paul after the euthanasia.
  • Yvonne: Named as the vet attending in multiple reviews. Owners describe her explaining the steps and expected reactions, using an unhurried three-injection process, and allowing families time with their pet. Reviews also mention a handwritten card from Yvonne and careful handling of transport afterwards.

Reviews

4.5 stars from 32 reviews. - Owners frequently describe an at-home, calm process where pets could stay in their usual spot with family present.

  • Repeated mention of a three-injection/three-step approach, described as not rushed, giving time for goodbyes.
  • Clear communication before and during the visit: explaining each stage, time windows for arrival, and what reactions to expect.
  • Aftercare choices are a recurring detail (cremation options; individual cremation and ashes returned are specifically mentioned).
  • Several reviewers mention personal touches (handwritten condolence/bereavement cards; careful transport arrangements such as a basket).
