Felix

​
This is just a note of thanks for Dr Yvonne who helped my Felix pass last month. We did receive his ashes, and sorry to have missed you at drop off. In my grief I am so thankful that you made the trip out to us, and for the three step process that made this easy for Felix. 

You are under no obligation to reply, or to watch this, but this is a commemorative video I made of my special boy. I wanted you to understand who he was to me, so that you can understand how much it meant for you to give him a peaceful passing.

Jess

​

Although it’s never easy, Yvonne made the euthanisation of our beloved little cat, Jess, as pleasant as it could be. It wasn’t rushed and she was enormously kind. Thank you Yvonne. X

Thank you so much for your kind words. It means a lot to know that we could help you make a very difficult and emotional time a little easier. Jess was so very lucky to spend her twilight years in the most loving home.

With warm regards

Yvonne

Ivy

​

I cannot recommend Quietus enough, after making the difficult decision that is was time to let our beloved cat Ivy go we rang and what we received from start to finish was a compassionate and professional service.

We rang on the Wednesday and booked for the Friday, Paul was able to give us a time slot to work with, explained each step of the process so we knew what to expect and gave us time to look at the options for the cremation and receiving her ashes back, he also made it clear that Yvonne was coming and not him.

On the day Yvonne made, what was a difficult situation so much easier, she explained how things would go and explained how cats normally react to the the injections, the entire process took around 45 minutes from start to finish for us, it consisted of three injections, they weren't rushed and we felt we had ample time to spend with her in her final moments, but there were also other aspects that really showed the compassion, to the basket she was put in for transportation after she passed to the handwritten card we received from Yvonne.

The service is expensive, however you get exactly what you pay for and both me and my partner thought it was worth every penny, to ensure the final moments were in her own home, in her spot and unstressed, it also made it easier for us with less to worry about, if ever we found ourselves in the same situation again we wouldn't hesitate to contact Quietus as we really cant recommend them enough.

Yvonne was very caring and sympathetic. She created a very peaceful atmosphere and gave us just the right amount of time to say goodbye to our beloved Golden Retriever. I would highly recommend the company who listened carefully to what we were looking for at a very difficult time and provided a high level if empathy whilst providing a professional service.

Barney


We had to make the hardest decision of our lives and have our gorgeous Labrador put to sleep. 

He was an anxious dog so I was concerned how this would go. Paul was lovely on the phone, talking me through it all. Yvonne came to the house and immediately put Barney at ease, he gave her a little woof and rested his head again. 

Yvonne explained the three-step process well, and gave us time and privacy as he drifted off. 

This was one of the most difficult days of our lives but it was so peaceful and dignified. There was no stress of putting him in the car and taking him to the vets. He just stayed on his blanket on the sofa. 

I would definitely use this service again.

We would like to thank Paul and Yvonne for helping us through such a difficult time. The caring way Yvonne explained every stage of what she was doing and gave us time at each stage to say our goodbye's to our Beautiful loving Basset hound Reenie who has been a member of our family for the past twelve and a half years. Thank you Bill & Gail

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
