Deborah Mutch
Pet Owner
We contacted VetCare@Peace and we were able to take her the next day to be cremated. The care, kindness and understanding of Glen, along with the beautiful surroundings made it much easier to say goodbye to our beautiful girl.

They were caring, compassionate and patient. We had to have our beautiful girl put to sleep but it was done in the best possible way.

John provided a service second to none, he did Poppy proud and made her passing so very easy, many many thanks.
Mark Barber
VetCare@Home Client
I have used this vet on several occasions and I cannot honestly say they are the best vets when you are having to make a difficult decision. They are kind, caring and compassionate and I can honestly say I would not use anyone else.

Our Location
Trusted. Dignified + local service
We searched for the right location for a long time before choosing our site in Belper. It sits peacefully between nature and community—with the Derwent river on one side and the bustling Peak District town of Belper on the other. It's a space where pets and people can begin their next chapter.
Why Us?
Our small team is dedicated to supporting you in every way we can, from the moment your pet comes into our care to the return of their ashes and beyond. We provide clarity, choice and comfort at every stage.
Treated As Individuals
Each pet is treated individually and with the upmost care and compassion. Knowing you'll go home together once again.
Dignified Farewells
We offer calm, compassionate support from first contact to the return of ashes — making every goodbye as gentle as possible.
By Trusted People
Trusted by local families through VetCare@Home, we're proud to continue that care through every step of your pet's final journey.
Everybody Welcome
Whether you need a quiet farewell or a faith-based service, we honour every belief, every background, and every kind of love.
The Story behind VetCare@peace
Oliver was our first dog, our best friend, our everything. He lived a long beautiful life with us. Sadly he got old and his time eventually came. I never could imagine the heartache to come. We phoned our local vet who couldn't see him straight away. We then had a very long sad morning. We had a very sad last drive in the car to the vets. We had a last walk into the vets together with myself carrying him as he was too poorly to walk. I had a last look up to the sky - where he was probably going 🙏. It was all so sad. I still remember every single detail. It's was years ago! I then found out he would be on a long journey in a van with other dead animals on the way to a pet crematorium so far away.
I wanted change. For owners and our beloved friends. We have been searching for many years for our beautiful location and it's right here in the beautiful Amber valley. No more long journeys for our beautiful friends. No move long waits. No more stressful journeys to the vets. No more unhappy memories at the end. We can come to you if required.
This is the start of VetCare@peace
We welcome you ❤️ with love.
