The Full Story
About QuietusVets Yvonne and Paul
Way back in 2017, the two of us realised that many vets were no longer able to offer home visits. And when they could, they were usually in a rush. So we created QuietusVet which has transformed the way dog and cats can leave this world with way more dignity and love. We were among the first Vets to offer a specially created home euthanasia for cats and dogs. We created QuietusVet to improve the last hours of a pet's life.
3 Steps
We are so proud of our 3 Steps. It fits so well with what we are trying to do - which is to make this shared experience as good as it can be. So many people tell us they have had dreadful experiences with previous veterinary euthanasia, and we are determined to avoid this happening ever again.
We only get one chance to do this, so we have to do it right.
There are 3 Steps to Heaven
Our 3 Steps are a series of tiny actions (including pain-killers) which help your dog or cat slowly become drowsy and drowsier until they are finally fully asleep (not just sedated, but fully unconcious). This is what we are trying to achieve - we want them to have absolutely no knowledge of the final step. We want to be absolutely sure there can be no pain, no stress.
Here's that 'but'...
Yvonne and I are so happy that pets have more choice regarding this phase of their life - there are now many more vets offering home across the UK.
We wish all providers of home euthanasia would use 3 Steps. Most vets are using two injections (sedation and a final one) are missing out on perfection. Sedation is NOT unconciousness. Sedation is not a pain-killer.
Yes we cost more because we take more time, and we use more (very) expensive analgesics, aneasthetics and other sophisticated medicines.
We only get one chance to do this, so we must do it right.
