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

It was so sad to say goodbye to Duke...at least it was a peaceful goodbye in the comfort of our home. I'd recommend Dr Perzak for anyone seeking to euthanize at home when they are elderly and in too much pain.

Dr Perzak was kind compassionate and extremely patient with me at home as I said goodbye to my beloved dog Pawleys as she crossed over to the rainbow bridge

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.

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.

No one wants to have to put a pet down, But, In the hardest and most unexpected of times Dr. Perzak was the absolute best. Empathetic and caring, she made a difficult situation easier. Thank you. It was easier knowing you were there guiding me and Flynn through this process. Your kindness and professionalism don’t go unnoticed.

Review by Dr. Deborah Perzak

Dr Perzak was beyond wonderful and kind through a most difficult situation. It is never easy to make the decision to let your pet go, but she made it so much easier to deal with. What a treat it was to be able to do this in the comfort of our home with my boys surrounding our beloved Murphy. I highly recommend this service and requesting Dr Perzak to come to your home. I can't say enough about her kindness.
