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

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.

We are beyond grateful to Dr. Angela De Villa for the incredible compassion and care she showed during one of the most difficult moments our family has ever faced. Saying goodbye to our beloved dog Benny was heartbreaking, but Dr. Angela made the experience peaceful, dignified, and filled with empathy. As young pet owners going through this process for the first time, we were full of questions, uncertainty, and emotion. Upon arrival, Dr. Angela immediately validated our decision with warmth and understanding. She gently evaluated Benny’s current state, helping us feel reassured that we were making the most loving choice for him—even though it was incredibly hard. Her calm, steady presence brought comfort and clarity to a situation that felt overwhelming. What truly stood out was the way she had prepared her vehicle for Benny’s final journey to cremation—softly lit with floral arrangements and set up with such thoughtful care. It felt more like a tribute than a transport, and it meant the world to us knowing he was treated with such dignity. That level of care meant the world to us. She treated Benny not just as a pet, but as a cherished soul. She walked us through every step of the process with patience and deep compassion. Her tenderness with Benny, and her respect for his life and our love for him, was unforgettable. We never felt rushed, only supported. Dr. Angela also provided us with keepsakes to remember Benny—beautiful, thoughtful mementos that we will always hold close. They brought a sense of peace and connection that continues even now. Thanks to Dr. Angela, Benny was able to spend his final moments at home, surrounded by the people who loved him most. We will forever be grateful for the grace, professionalism, and heart she brought to one of the hardest days of our lives. We wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Angela to any pet family facing this impossible goodbye. Her presence was a true gift, and we will never forget her care for Benny—and for us.

She was very flexible and was able to come to Vergils aid at earlier time than scheduled. She gave us time with our pup before she took him and was very caring. Very friendly and highly recommend her.
