Why I provide at-home pet euthanasia
I offer in-home euthanasia because it can transform a profoundly sad moment into a deeply personal and peaceful farewell. The clinical environment of a veterinary office can be overwhelming and distressing, not just for pets but for owners as well. At home, the process can be gentler and less traumatic, allowing for a more natural transition. I am dedicated to honoring the beautiful bond between pets and their owners. My ultimate goal is to allow pets to pass away in a familiar, peaceful setting that honors their dignity.

What pet parents are saying
Dr. De Villa was so kind and sweet as she assisted both of my senior cats with end of life care. She was kind to them as they passed and so kind to me. She showed compassion and empathy for all of us through a most difficult decision to say goodbye.
It is difficult to even think about sending Foxy and Chica, our almost 17 year old sister Chihauhau mix pups over the rainbow together. It has been 5 days since they took their journey. Angela was so comforting. I did not want to stress them going to their veterinarian office. It was a peaceful transition, thanks to Dr. Angela DeVilla for taking her time and letting us process the procedure which she explained really well.
Dr. De Villa was so kind and considerate and really helped us through a tough decision. But we do believe out kitty is in a better place and she helped us ensure he got there peacefully.
Angela was great. She came highly recommended by my vet. She gave great guidance beforehand. We were back and forth on whether my wife and I wanted the kids there. I understand that she runs a business but the customer service and empathy made the experience as good as it could be under the circumstances. Although it was a sad moment, she also helped in making it beautiful experience shared amongst the whole family. Thank you so much.
Dr. De Villa was very patient, kind and helpful throughout this emotional decision I made for my baby. Thank you Dr. De Villa for your support and helping my baby crossover peacefully
Dr. De Villa was so compassionate and informative during the whole process. We appreciate her dedication to providing such an important service.
