Your Independent home visit vet since 2012
Gentle Home Euthanasia and Palliative Care
for Elderly and Terminally Pets across Cheshire and surrounding areas
Vets at Home was founded in 2012 by Dr Anita Bhanja, so pets could be cared for at home without the stress of a trip to the surgery. Today Anita focuses on what matters most at the end of a pet’s life: comfort, dignity and time together. That care now continues as Eternal Paws.
We never pressure you to put your pet to sleep. We’ll help you find the kindest way forward, in your own time
Please note: Vets at Home (vetsathome.co.uk) is Dr Anita Bhanja’s own independent practice, trading since June 2012. We are not connected with vetsathome.com or any other company using a similar name. If you’re contacting another provider about an appointment or an insurance claim, please get in touch with them directly.
How We Can Help
With over 30 years experience, multiple awards and over 200 5* reviews Anita leads this small, caring team, so you deal with the same people from the first phone call to bringing your pet home.
Personal, independent, vet owned – not corporate – and available day and night to give your beloved pet a peaceful good bye when they are ready
Home Euthanasia
A gentle, compassionate and peaceful goodbye in your pet’s favourite place, always with sedation first and as much time as your family needs. Our home euthanasia service is genuinely available 24/7
Hospice and Palliative Care
Pain management and care for pets at home, who may not have a curable illness but who still want to live their lives. Care given by a vet certified in hospice and palliative care.
Gentle senior surgery
Dentals, lump removals, x-rays and palliative surgery in a private theatre where you can stay with your pet. They fall asleep and wake in your arms, and are usually home within an hour.
Private cremation
Our own crematorium, a peaceful crystal room to say goodbye, a beautiful remembrance garden and thoughtful keepsakes including paw and nose prints, crystals and candles
What Happens When We Visit
A calm conversation first. Call us and talk things through. If you’re too upset to talk then text or Whatsapp. If there are still ways to keep your pet comfortable, we’ll tell you honestly. Anita’s experience in palliative care and looking after terminally ill pets means she will often be able to give you more time than you thought you had – especially if you haven’t been to a vet for some time
No rush on the day. Anita arrives at a time that suits you and explains everything before anything happens. Children are welcome to be there and other pets are encouraged so they don’t look for their friends afterwards
Sedation first, always. Your pet is gently sedated so they drift off to sleep, relaxed and with the family they love, wherever they feel safest: on the sofa, in their bed or in the garden.
Cared for afterwards. If we take your pet into our care for cremation, we can give you some privacy to say goodbye or you can make arrangements to come to our crystal room yourselves either later the same day or the following day. Ashes are always ready to come home the next working day for cremations before 3pm. Often times we can arrange same day cremations
Your Vet: Dr Anita Bhanja
Anita qualified from the Royal Veterinary College, London in 1994 and has lived and worked in Cheshire for 30 years, including running her first practice “Elliot’s Veterinary Centre” (named after her dog) in Grappenhall, Warrington.
She started Vets at Home in 2012 as a general mobile service. But increasingly, the families who needed her most were those with elderly and terminally ill pets so she trained further in the UK and the USA, becoming one of a small number of UK vets certified in hospice and palliative care. That specialism transformed Vetsathome into Eternal Paws – able to offer a full suite of medical and surgical palliation, laser therapy, acupuncture and reiki.
Families tell us the difference we can make is to give them time, compassion and kindness: treating every pet as if they were our own, and looking after the people who love them too.
