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. Angela De Villa was great making us feel at ease and when you talk, you can feel her emotion and very comfort to us. Thank you for helping us and helping our dog.
Dear Dr. Angela De Villa, helping our sweet doggy, Chocolate, be comfortable and at peace was the kindest, most humane service I have ever been witness to. She was the heartbeat of our household, and she is very missed. But we can feel good knowing she is free now from pain. The whole procedure was fast, but not rushed. Professional, and yet full of compassion. My family thanks you a thousand times over for being warm, understanding, and kind.
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 Angela De Villa is a very compassionate person. This was the toughest thing to go through. She made us feel very comfortable and explained the process very well.
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.
