For some dogs and cats, the kindest goodbye is the one that happens at home. A familiar couch, a quiet room, the people who love them closest. Our in-home end-of-life care brings the same unhurried, gentle approach we use in our Fraser Heights clinic to your living room across North Surrey. There's no carrier, no car ride, no clinical setting; just the comfort your pet knows best. Call (604) 359-6464 to arrange a visit, or simply to talk through where you are.
In-home end-of-life care suits dogs and cats who find clinic visits stressful, pets with limited mobility for whom a car ride is difficult, families who simply prefer the privacy and familiarity of home, and households where other pets benefit from understanding what has happened. It's not the right fit for every situation, and that's okay. We're glad to talk through whether in-home or our quiet clinic setting is the better choice for your family.
Availability for in-home visits varies by week, so please call ahead at (604) 359-6464. The team will walk you through scheduling, what to prepare at home, and a written estimate before anything is confirmed. We'll ask gentle questions about your pet, your space, and what would feel right for the family so the visit can be shaped to you.
We arrive at the agreed time, give your family a few minutes to settle, and walk through each step before it happens. Most goodbyes follow two stages: gentle sedation first so your dog or cat is fully relaxed, then the final step given through an IV line once your pet is peaceful. There's no rush at any point. Children and other pets are welcome to be present if that feels right.
Aftercare options include private cremation with return of ashes or communal cremation. We coordinate the cremation logistics on your behalf, and we can collect your pet from your home at the end of the visit. Paw-print keepsakes and other mementos are available if you'd like one. We let you take the time you need.
We offer in-home end-of-life visits across Fraser Heights, Guildford, North Surrey, Port Kells, and parts of Walnut Grove in Langley. Availability varies by week, so please call (604) 359-6464 ahead of time to confirm.
Visits are unhurried. Plan for about an hour to allow time for the conversation, sedation, the goodbye itself, and the few minutes afterwards. Some families want longer; some prefer to be alone with their pet sooner. There's no right way.
Yes. Some households find it helps the other pets understand what has happened. We discuss what works for your space and family when you call to book. There's no pressure either way.
To arrange an in-home end-of-life visit across North Surrey, call Ridgeview Animal Hospital at (604) 359-6464. Availability varies by week, so calling ahead lets us shape the visit around your family and your dog or cat.
