At-home pet euthanasia in Lichfield
Whispaws offers calm, compassionate in-home end-of-life care for pets in Lichfield and surrounding areas. I’m Sophie, a local veterinarian, and Jo (RVN) supports families with gentle quality-of-life and end-of-life planning calls by phone.
If your pet finds vet visits stressful, staying at home can avoid an anxious journey and allow for a quieter, more dignified farewell where they feel safest.
We cover Lichfield and nearby areas including Burntwood, Shenstone, Whittington, Fradley, Streethay and surrounding villages.
How Whispaws supports you
Planning ahead (supported by Jo, RVN)
End-of-life decisions are never easy, and many families feel unsure about timing. Jo (registered veterinary nurse) offers calm, supportive phone consultations to help you talk through your pet’s comfort, changes you’ve noticed, and what the next steps might look like.
Planning ahead doesn’t mean giving up — it means protecting your pet’s comfort and allowing the farewell to be unhurried and gentle.
What to expect during an at-home appointment
• We take time to talk through everything and answer your questions
• A gentle sedative is given first so your pet can relax fully
• When they are asleep, the final medication is given peacefully
• You’ll have space and time afterwards — nothing is rushed
