Why I provide at-home pet euthanasia
I wanted to become a veterinarian so that I could make a difference. When I was in college, I had a deep interest in science and research, and I loved to challenge myself. I was fortunate as a child to have parents that understood my love for animals and would allow me to "bring home the strays", so to speak. I worked for several years in the restaurant industry before deciding to use my gifts with people and animals, as well as my science background, to pursue my dream of becoming a veterinarian. I believe in the golden rule: Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. To me, this means treating the people I meet and the pets I take care of with respect, dignity, and compassion. I liken being a veterinarian to a pediatrician: Since both pets and small children cannot always communicate to me what is wrong, or where it hurts, it is up to me to listen to the pet parent and use what they say to help diagnose and treat their pet.

What pet parents are saying
Debra was a God sent angel ! She took her time with us and explained everything that she was doing! Harley was very happy with her and I think he was very grateful to her! We ended up knowing each other and that made for a pleasant experience! We couldn’t have wrote the ending any better!
Cannot recommend Dr. Perzak enough. She was kind, compassionate, and let us take all the time we needed with the passing of our dog that we viewed as a family member. The whole process from start to finish was peaceful and in a place where our dog felt most comfortable. 10/10 would recommend- completely worth it.
Dr Perzak was an answer to our prayers and helped us tremendously with our wonderful dog of 19 years! She was excellent on all accounts during this emotional time ! We consider her a gift to us and our precious dog Rocky !
Dr. Perzak has been our Angel…since 2012 when she met and began care of our Ailey until recently (November 2025) when she lovingly guided Ailey to eternal peace and comfort through at-home euthanasia. Dr. Perzak surrounded us with her love, kindness and care during each step of the process. Her professional and empathetic manner are second to none. Ailey will be forever in our hearts. She is in HIS purrrrrrfect home, playful and happy. Dr. Perzak will be forever in hearts.
Being able to give our 15-year-old cat a peaceful passing at home, on her own porch where she felt safe and happy, was an absolute gift. She deserved it and we felt it was a small way to thank her for the beautiful gift of her loyalty and love. And Dr. Deborah Perzak was exactly the caring, compassionate soul we needed to help us all through it. We will be forever grateful.
What an amazing experience during a time that was so difficult! My sweet Bentley was able to have a stress free transition being loved and held through it all! She was amazing!
