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.

She was as sweet and comforting with our Indy as he was with all whom he met when he was still here. Couldn’t recommend highly enough. ❤️

When my 17-year-old little cat, Be’en, took a nosedive with his health one day not long ago, I was gutted, of course, but even more so at the thought of subjecting him to a trip to the vet. My vet kindly sent me a list of options for at-home euthanasia, and I was beyond relieved to find that Dr. Perzak was available later that afternoon. As Be’en and I waited for her, it was very clear that he was ready to go. Dr. P showed up exactly when she said she would and did everything possible to make both Be’en and me comfortable. Her warmth, understanding, and consideration for both of us touched me deeply, and I’m beyond grateful that she made it possible for me to give Be’en this last gift of a quiet passing at home, in his bed, in my arms. Thank you, Dr. P.

Dr. Perzak was great. She was very kind and compassionate, took her time with us and explained what to expect. I’m very grateful that we were able to let our baby be at home and have a peaceful passing. I can’t thank Dr. Perzak enough for what she does. The whole process was very easy from booking the appointment and adding the cremation and memorial items option. It made a very hard day just a little less stressful

Dr. Perzak was very empathetic and kind throughout the entire process, even bringing our sweet girl's paw print and ashes back to the house after the fact. We appreciate her thoroughness during the process, and communication. We would recommend her to anyone. Thank you for making an already difficult situation more manageable.

Review by Dr. Deborah Perzak

Words can't begin to convey how grateful that I am for the sincere care and concern Dr. Perzak provided to me and my wife as we made the incredibly difficult decision to assist our beloved, Remington (Remi), pass from this life to the next. She was extremely patient in explaining the entire process and could not have provided any better support and service to us in our most difficult time. The "gift" she provides with this in-home service allows the animal (and their caregivers) the comfort and dignity of having this transition happen in a comfortable surrounding. This made all the difference for us. There are angels on this earth and I am convinced that Dr. Perzak is one of them. I will never forget the compassion she showed to Remi...and to us. May God bless her and all those that are dealing with this difficult process and may we all be comforted in this time of loss.
