Yvonne came to our home to euthanase our beloved cat Tigger.
Tigger was over 20 years old & a huge part of our family, making the decision to say goodbye to her was one of the hardest things we have ever had to do. Not having to take her to the vets which always stressed Tigger was the right decision for us. Yvonne explained the process to us and was so kind and compassionate throughout the whole procedure.
Making it as calm as possible for us and Tigger and giving us the time to say our goodbyes in her own home.
I would highly recommend Quietus Vets, they showed kindness & understanding throughout the whole process in such a difficult situation. Thank you
Thank you again, the G family.
Dear Paul & Yvonne,
Thank you so much for the kindness & compassion you showed in our hour of need.
Paul, talking to you on the phone to book the appointment, you were understanding & caring & re assured me that it sounded like the time was right.
Yvonne, you were amazing with us as a family. We were all emotional wrecks & you were just fantastic. You reassured us & comforted us. You gave us time with Barny, you didn't rush us and you explained everything that you were doing in great detail.
Barny was calm & relaxed in his bed. You made an extremely difficult day that little bit better.
And thank you for your card afterwards. A lovely personal touch.
I would not hesitate to recommend you to anyone in their hour of need
Barny is now peacefully sleeping 24 hours a day in his place of rest at my parents house alongside 8 other four legged family members.
With our biggest of thanks, The S Family
To Paul and Yvonne,
I just wanted to say thank you for making, which was arguably one of the worst days of my life that much easier. As Missy was getting older I knew this time would come eventually and I always knew I wanted it to be as peaceful as it could for her. She had such a beautiful soul she deserved nothing but the best in life and i was glad i was able to give her that until the end.
I want to thank Paul for sorting everything so quickly when I made contact and Yvonne for the way she treated Missy and allowed her to stay in my arms, which was her safe space, up until the end.
I always wanted her to pass away without stress and in her own home and I am so glad I was able to give her that with your help.
I cannot tell you how much I miss my best friend. She was my little shadow and has left a massive hole in my heart. But despite this I have no regrets about the decision I made because you allowed it to be so peaceful for her.
I've attached a photo of her as she was up until a few weeks before. On my shoulder where she loved to be. I miss those cuddles.
Thanks again for everything. M (and Missy who I know would thank you for treating her so well).

Dear Yvonne and Paul,
Thankyou so much for the professional and considerate way in which you helped us say ‘Goodbye’ to our beloved cat ‘Sparky’. He slipped away peacefully in my Wife’s arms in his own home and familiar surroundings. It was very difficult for us as he has been our best friend around the house for 19 Years.
Whenever we took him to the vet in his cat carrier he always got very stressed, we never wanted to put him through that during the last hour of his life so we decided to use your services when the time came to have him put to sleep at home.
Yvonne, thankyou so much for that wonderful hand written card of condolence you sent us with that lovely heartfelt message.
Would definitely recommend Quietus Vet Services to anyone who anyone find themselves in the sad position of deciding to have their beloved pet put to sleep at home.
Thankyou again for making this very sad time so much easier.

On Friday 13th October 2023, I had to make a call that I had been dreading for some days. I called Quietus Vet regarding my border collie Finn to ask their advice as I'd never been in this situation before.
I left them a voicemail and Paul returned my call shortly after 9.00am. Finn had not eaten anything for 5 days, but somehow still found the strength to go on short walks even though his legs were quite weak. After relating this and other vital information to Paul, he knew through his vast experience that Finn had reached the end of his days at 16 years of age.
To confirm a same day appointment, I paid the fee and Paul's partner Yvonne came out at 12.45pm to tend to Finn.
She was very polite and shared a great deal of empathy with us at this awful time.
Yvonne explained that there was a series of three injections and what each one was for. In-between each injection spaced out over a period of 45 minutes, Yvonne soothed Finn and kept me and my brother calm by talking to us all the while.
She certainly helped us as much as she helped Finn, and we were most grateful for that.
Therefore, both me and my brother have no hesitation in recommending Quietus Vet as their service is worth its weight in gold. They were perfect from start to finish and ensured that Finn's final journey was made with dignity and respect.
Many thanks,
A. and A. W : Mansfield
Dear Paul and Yvonne
I just wanted to pass on my sincere and heartfelt thanks for the service at Quietus you provided to help our dog Lotte over the rainbow this week.
Lotte was the centre of our lives, always involved in our plans, came with us almost everywhere right to the end - she even came to my son’s wedding last year, and was given special priority so she could!
We knew our time with her was coming to an end, and odd how it sounds in a way are grateful she had the accident so it was obvious when “the time” was.
It was lovely to be all together with her in a calm familiar place. Lotte would spend a lot of time on our bed, and go there to get out of the way if things were getting too much downstairs. Yvonne carried out the whole thing with us as a family and Lotte as the only important thing.
I don’t think it was the easiest for her but she was incredibly calm and caring throughout the whole process, giving us the information we needed about the whole thing, which we really valued. We all felt incredibly safe, that there was no rush, and that Lotte was very important.I will be recommending Quietus to everyone I know who has pets. I only wish I could book myself in for when it is my time.
Finally I want to thank Yvonne from the bottom of my heart, and on behalf of the whole family. I know this is a separate service to her daily practice, and I’m absolutely sure it must be physically and emotionally exhausting to give so much of yourself.
Thank goodness there are people like you in the world. It was the perfect ending and has made our grief just about bearable.Yours, The S Family.

Thank you Paul and Yvonne at Quietus Vet for the loving and dignified way in which our dear 15 year old Border Collie Dylan was put to sleep.
At home, in his garden with his family, a perfect end to a life.
So much better than taking him to the vets.Would not hesitate to recommend Quietus to anybody in the sad position we were with our lovely boy.

Hello Yvonne & Paul, I would just like to let you know personally how much we appreciated you coming to help us through the sad day we had to say our last goodbye to our beloved Martha.
Yvonne, you were kind and compassionate throughout the whole 3 steps procedure, and you gave us time to say farewell at our pace, Martha was comfortable and pain free as we were able to sit and hold her throughout, and she left her earthly home with dignity, which she so deserved after suffering from diabetes for the last 2yrs, which she also faced unquestionably.
She was the most wonderful girl and we are proud to have had her in our family for nearly 14yrs. I would most definitely recommend your
service .Thank you again, and also for the condolence card you so kindly sent.
The N family.
