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

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 DeVilla was absolutely awesome with us. My granddaughters wanted to be there when our dog was heading to the rainbow bridge. She was supportive and sensitive to our needs and took wonderful care of our beloved dog.

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.

Review by Dr. Angela De Villa

Dr. Angela kept us posted about her arrival time, which we appreciated. Her 'good vibes" were immediately apparent. She steps lightly and speaks gently. She explained, ahead of time, exactly what she would be doing for Frankie, and was willing and able to work with Frankie on my lap. She listened carefully to Frankie's heart, and let us know when it stopped beating. She gave us some private moments, and returned with a basket and blankets. My grandson was able to place Frankie into the carry basket. Thank you, Dr De Villa, for being who you are in this crazy old world, so that we could give Frankie our final gift of peace.

Our Vet was very detail-oriented and compassionate. Not only, did she do everything in her power to help my dog,she also consulted outside sources. She is a true gem.

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
