At-home end-of-life care

Compassionate end-of-life care for pets, in the comfort of home

Sundown Vets provides personal support for families facing the loss of a much-loved pet. We offer peaceful at-home euthanasia and guidance with cremation arrangements across Reading and the surrounding areas.

Speak directly with the vet. We will listen, explain your options and help you decide what is right for your pet.

Meet Your Vet

Compassionate, Experienced Veterinary Care

I’m Dr Ovidiu Onofrei, a qualified veterinary surgeon with more than a decade of experience caring for animals and supporting the people who love them.

I understand that every pet is different, which is why I take the time to listen to your concerns, explain the available options clearly and provide professional care tailored to your pet’s individual needs. My aim is to make every appointment as calm and reassuring as possible for both you and your animal.

You can feel confident knowing your pet will be treated with kindness, respect and experienced veterinary care at every stage.

Independent care

Personal care from a vet you can get to know

Sundown Vets is an independent practice. There is no call centre and no corporate process — you speak with Ovidiu directly, from your first phone call through to the appointment itself.

Independent and personal

One vet, one conversation. Consistent care from the moment you make contact.

Care in familiar surroundings

A peaceful home visit spares your pet the stress of travelling to a clinic.

Time to say goodbye

Appointments are gentle and relaxed, with room for the whole family.
