Highly recommend. Having to have a pet put to sleep is a really hard decision to make, Sam supported us through ever step. Taking time to allow my children to say goodbye and giving them as long as they needed. Sam offered a very professional service, we couldn't of asked for anyone better.

Alice was so kind, compassionate and gentle with Bear (and us) when the time came for us to say goodbye. It meant so much that she could see what a soft and gentle boy he was and that she took such care of him. As a pet owner when you find yourself having to make such a difficult decision being able to say goodbye at home is so needed. Would not hesitate to recommend.

Had to say goodbye to our amazing Boxer dog Rosie last week, she was the most perfect dog you could wish for and will be sorely missed but always be in our hearts 💕 Alice and Sam were amazing from the beginning and would highly recommend the service they provide

Alice was wonderful, a decision that had to be made quickly to put our 17 year old jack russell to sleep. It was done with calm and absolutely no problems or any distress for us or our beloved dog. Thank you Alice for helping us keep the best memories of her whole life

My dear little Lily has passed away. I have had her for so long and my darling husband, Philip had chosen her. He too has passed away. She has been such a comfort and a wonderful purring companion. My daughter found Sam and The Home Farewell Vet early on a Sunday morning and despite it being 8.00am when she called him, he came to us at home and gently explained how he could care for her in her last moments. It was the most peaceful and comforting time and we felt in no way rushed. We were given time and space to say our final goodbye and Sam gently and peacefully put her to sleep. He was a peaceful presence at such a sad time. If you have to consider your darling pet and their last big sleep in your home with surroundings they know and love, I would have no hesitation in recommending Sam. He was wonderful. Lily, you were my sweet little cat. My loud purring companion. I was so lucky to have you.

Sam came to our home an hour after we called, having made the terrible decision to have our lovely old dog Harvey put to sleep. He sat on the floor with me as I said my final farewell and was so kind and gentle with Harvey and so compassionate to us. Afterwards he put Harvey in a bed he brought with lovely clean fleece blankets and carried him into his car. It was just as if he was asleep. A few days later a beautiful heartfelt card arrived from Sam with his sincere condolences which meant a lot to us. It was a seamless and serene experience that took away a lot of stress in a distressing situation. Thank you so much. Lis Tams

A very caring,sensitive experience. Highly recommended service. I felt I did the best thing possible for my dog, he was relaxed and unaware.
