Lucy Mitchell BVetMed MRCVS
Home visit pet euthanasia service. Covering Tendring District and surrounding areas.
Please call 07938 512 567 email lucyvet79@gmail.com
I qualified from the Royal Veterinary College, University of London in 2003. I've worked exclusively in small animal UK practice and have lived and worked in North Essex since 2010.
Evening or weekend visits also available by special arrangement, subject to availability. My core hours are 9am - 3pm each weekday, please contact me to arrange. 07938 512 567 or lucyvet79@gmail.com.
If contacted early, I can often visit the same day.
Please be aware if I am with a patient or working in clinic, I may not be able to answer, but please leave a voicemail, text or email me and I will reply as soon as i'm able.
I work in clinic on a Wednesday in term time so am not available to speak to i'm afraid.
It's helpful if you can state your location in any messages.
Prices.
Please note that all prices given for euthanasia include an injection with a sedative first. This will relax your pet and make them sleepy for the final injection. This makes them a lot less aware of their surroundings. You will be able to hold and cuddle them if you wish while you say goodbye. Equally, if you would prefer to just cuddle them whilst the sedative takes effect, and then leave for the final injection, I can assure you they will be in safe hands and treated with the utmost care and respect.
I carry a card machine or can send a payment link to pay by card, I can accept cash on the day or can also provide BACS details on an invoice afterwards. I am unfortunately unable to accept cheques as my bank won't accept them. Prices are subject to VAT as listed.
Sadly I am unable to offer payment plans, I am a self employed small business so am unable to sustain costs with credit.
These prices apply for the vast majority of patients. However, if you have unusual circumstances such as a particularly aggressive or difficult to handle pet, or you live outside the Tendring District, please call to discuss. These visits will incur an extra charge to reflect the longer time involved to safely sedate and handle them and the personal risk.
