"Our beautiful 13-year-old boy, Monty, had become very poorly overnight, and taking him to a vet to have him put to sleep was never an option for us. Alina completely understood this and was incredibly kind, compassionate and gentle with Monty. Being able to say goodbye to Monty in the comfort of his own home meant absolutely everything to us."

"Our experience using Alina from Paws in Harmony was made as painless as possible in the sad circumstances. I was able to contact her easily and arrangements were quickly made for her to come to our home to euthanise our elderly Labrador. She showed real empathy and kindness, and gave us the opportunity to say 'goodbye' in our own time."

Questions

Things families often ask

How do I know when it's time to say goodbye?

This is the hardest question. Please call us — Alina offers a gentle, no-obligation phone conversation to discuss your pet's quality of life and help you make the decision that feels right for them.

What happens during at-home euthanasia?

Alina talks you through every step before beginning. A gentle sedative helps your pet relax fully, then a final medication is given quietly and calmly. The process is unhurried, and you can hold your pet throughout.

Can my family be present?

Yes. As many family members as you'd like can be there to say goodbye together — whatever feels right for your family.

Can my other pets be present?

Many families choose to let other pets be nearby so they understand what's happened. It's entirely your choice — talk to Alina about what might suit your household.

How long does the appointment take?

There's no fixed time limit. Most visits last around an hour, but we never rush — you and your family can take as long as you need.

Do you have a clinic in Brighton?

No — this is a mobile service. Dr. Alina is based in Kent and travels to Brighton & Hove for home visits by arrangement, rather than working from a fixed local address. She's available most days of the week; call to confirm a date that works.

Can you come today?

We can't guarantee same-day visits in Brighton & Hove, given the travel distance from our Kent base — but call or WhatsApp us and we'll always try to help as quickly as we genuinely can.

How much does euthanasia at home cost?

At-home euthanasia starts from £220, with urgent visits from £250. Cremation and aftercare are additional and can be discussed with Alina — travel arrangements for Brighton & Hove are confirmed when you call.

What cremation options are available?

Alina works with trusted crematoriums. You can choose individual cremation with ashes returned to you, or communal cremation. Keepsakes such as paw prints can also be arranged.

Do you cover Hove, Portslade and Shoreham-by-Sea?

Yes, these are covered as standard alongside Brighton. If you're nearby but not listed, call us — we may still be able to help.

Can I use pet insurance?

Many policies cover home euthanasia and aftercare. We provide all documentation needed to claim. Call us on 07599 017 582 — we're happy to help.
