Every Paws Gentle Goodbyes

Providing kind and gentle in home pet euthanasia services

pet euthanasia service

My name is Cheryl Keen, a Veterinary Surgeon based in Linton, Cambridgeshire. I understand how deeply our pets touch our lives. In 2020, I experienced the heart-wrenching loss of our family spaniel. Being by his side in his final moments, surrounded by family, brought comfort and peace to us all. This personal experience inspired my commitment to creating a gentle, compassionate way for pets to say their last goodbye – at home, surrounded by love.

With experience across both first opinion work and emergency care, I’ve supported families throughout Cambridgeshire and beyond in both joyful and challenging times. My mission is to provide a peaceful, pain-free farewell for your beloved companions, with empathy and respect for the bond you share. I’m honoured to serve families in Cambridgeshire and neighbouring districts in Suffolk, North Essex, North Hertfordshire, East Northants and East Bedfordshire.

If you’re facing the heartache of saying goodbye, know that I’m here to support you and your pet with kindness, patience, and understanding

On friday we had to say goodbye to our beautiful boy brix who was 15 years old and has been with us since he was 8 weeks old, Cheryl came to our home and made what should have been one of the most horrible experiences we would have into something very peaceful and loving, Cheryl was amazing throughout our whole experience from the first phone call to the moment she left us to say our goodbye as a family, I cannot thank you enough for helping us all through this and making it an experience that we will never forget for all the right reasons. You gave our fur baby the goodbye he deserved xxx

We are so grateful that Everypaws Gentle Goodbyes exists and that Cheryl was able to come to our house and give our much loved cat Salem a peaceful and loving end to her life. We know how much anxiety it would have caused Salem had she had to be taken to the vet surgery for end of life care and we did not want to put her through that. Cheryl was so kind, she explained to us exactly what she was doing and calmly talked us through the process, giving us time to say our gentle goodbyes to Salem and not making us feel rushed. Cheryl made a very sad day feel much less upsetting and much calmer than it otherwise would have been.

Cheryl helped our family dog Ruby to take the Big Sleep. This was, as one would imagine, incredibly hard and painful. Cheryl was an anchor in that storm. She provided solace and peace to Ruby and our family. She was incredibly professional and discreet, and talked everyone through the process. She was prompt and communicative before and after. And she was kind and understanding during. Thank you a million times to Cheryl for facilitating this heartbreak. I unreservedly recommend Every paws Gentle Goodbyes for anyone who has made this devastating decision.

Cheryl is kind and gentle, and made an awful experience as easy and painless as it could be. She explains every step and gives you as little or as much time and space as you need. Her help with sorting out the cremation was also such a huge help in sparing us the burden of dealing with those painful details. We are very grateful that she was recommended to us by our vet at the Cambridge Cat Clinic. I cannot recommend her services enough. In loving memory of Skip 🩷

I would like to thank Cheryl for being able to attend as soon as I called her. Her compassion throughout made a difficult and painful decision easier to bear. Having this done at home reduced the stress for all involved, including my poor snoopy who had a love hate relationship with the vets! He was much happier and calmer lying on his bed in familiar surroundings. Thank you Cheryl ❤️

We can't thank Cheryl enough for her gentle and caring experience she provided. From the moment she stepped into our home, we all felt at peace with her genuine kindness and care for our poorly Coops. She made us all feel at ease and made it personal for us to say our goodbyes and the thought built with the after care. It's a challenging job but we can see why Cheryl suited the role with her kind nature and expertise. We can't thank you enough to make the last steps towards the rainbow bridge a special one. Thank you from us and Cooper.

Our beautiful boy Frankie had pancreatic cancer and we had to make the painful decision to let him have his final long sleep. We wanted to do this at home, in his favourite spot with all of his family there. Cheryl was amazing, so responsive and able to come at short notice. Her compassion with Frankie and us was truly special at a very painful moment in our lives. She was very calming and able to put us at ease, she explained everything in a caring way and made it easy for us to understand what would happen. Thank you so much Cheryl for everything you did and for making Frankie’s passing peaceful and loving.

Faultless. Cheryl will guide you through an emotionally charged situation with warmth, consideration and expertise. We have absolutely no regrets about this choice. If you're wondering whether to ask for her help - do it.

My baby girl Bella I have had since I was just turning 7. Shes made me laugh every day since, shes been a pain in my ass and my bestest friend. She hated water and loved to go for walks, she had a heart shaped nose when she was a puppy and then gained a burn scar on it after sniffing something too hot. She didn’t care much for playing fetch but could play tug and wrestle all day, she could jump on the bungalow roof but had selective hearing when I asked her to give me her paw or do a spin. She was so emotionally intelligent even if you caught her licking walls, she had the cheesiest smile and a fox like tail. The day I got her we drove two hours away to god knows where on that specific farm, we met the farmer who took us to his stables. There were so many border collie puppies to choose from, then in one separate stable there she was curled up and shaking. He told us he was “waiting for her to die” as she was the runt of the litter, this you could tell as she was a lot smaller and a lot weaker, she had a healing wound covering the entirety of her lower back caused by the other dogs attacking her over food (she was frequently violently attacked). I immediately picked her up and took her home, I’ll never forget when we drove home and she slept on my lap the entire way. I’ve not been able to give her the perfect life, we struggled with her fear of other dogs and territorial problems. But I gave her 14 more years of life and I hope they were wonderful for her. She got sick in the end and we had to say goodbye. Cheryl provided the most peaceful euthanasia, she was so so patient, passionate, kind, calming and respectful. She asked questions and studied the room when she entered, she understood the vibe and was so gentle with my baby girl. She explained everything in detail and what to expect as death generally is not usually a pretty thing, but she truly made it beautiful. I had never witnessed death before and Cheryl made it seem like the most bittersweet, beautiful and fascinating thing even with the heartbreak. Thank you so much Cheryl you deserve the best. Sleep well Bella, you never did grow into your ears. <3

We had to say goodbye to our 15 year plus lab last week and Cheryl helped us through this. It was all so peaceful, sympathetic and respectful and we would recommend Cheryl to anybody who finds themselves in this end of life situation for a beloved pet. Thank you hugely for making it all so much easier to cope with.
