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
The thought of having to say goodbye to my best friend was unbearable but I knew with the option of having him pass in the comfort of his home was a must. I was able to lay and snuggle with my baby while he went peacefully and Sarah was so thoughtful, kind and patient with us and our Nanook boy.
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.
Thankfully Dr Angela De Ville was able to come quickly to assist Stewie over the Rainbow Bridge as he went down hill very quickly. She was kind and walked me through every step of the procedure and it was a very peaceful process. So thankful she was there to help us.
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 so kind and patient during this most difficult time. Her compassion and care towards Elsie my Pet for 14 years was really appreciated.
Dr. De Villa was so compassionate and informative during the whole process. We appreciate her dedication to providing such an important service.
