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
She was very kind and informative of the euthanasia process. She answered all of my concerns prior to the procedure. My sweet girl was in good hands and crossed over the rainbow bridge very peacefully
can’t say enough good things about Dr. De Villa. She cared for our sweet Sadie during one of the most heartbreaking moments of our lives, and her presence made all the difference. From the moment she walked in, her calm and loving energy helped ease some of the weight we were carrying. She treated Sadie with such gentleness, compassion, and respect, and she treated us the same. What truly blew me away was the handwritten note I received from her afterward. It was so personal, so sincere—it showed just how deeply she cares, not just for her patients, but for the families behind them. In such a painful time, her empathy brought real comfort. I will always be grateful to Dr. De Villa for the grace, compassion, and care she gave us. She is truly special.
Dr. DeVilla was a very compassionate and considerate person. She also affirmed that under the circumstances, this was the best choice for my baby to avoid more significant pain in the near future. She explained all thoroughly and only moved forward each step when our family was ready. We were blessed to have her take care of my little Moonstone.
Dr Angela De Villa was the exact right person to assist Kono is his peaceful end of life. She was compassionate and caring, and was very clear in how the process would work. She even came earlier when asked. Couldn’t have asked for a better Vet. Thank you so much.
Dr. De Villa was amazing. She walked us through every step of the process. She was so comforting as we said goodbye to our fur baby of 15 years.
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.
