Why I provide at-home pet euthanasia
Becoming a veterinarian was a lifelong dream. I have always felt solace around animals. I understood as a child that animals are amazing - not because they are like us - but because they are like themselves. I am deeply committed to helping people understand what their beloved pet is experiencing and when (and how) to say goodbye. I feel called to do this work - to stand next to people as they navigate the beautiful heartache that comes from loving creatures we outlive. I see the best of people every day - as they break their hearts and heal their hearts. I am motivated by the love I see - the tenderness - the mercy.

What pet parents are saying
Delia was very knowledgeable, compassionate and helpful in letting us know it was the loving, right thing to do with my big French Mastiff Lincoln. So thankful Codapet has people like her to come to our home and help with the devastating loss of my best friend. Thank you
Thank you so much for your compassion, words of comfort, and tremendous support on Tuesday morning as we said goodbye to our sweet lady Dallas. She will always hold such a special place in our hearts. We are so grateful to you for holding our hands through such a difficult process.
Dr Delia was very compassionate and explained the entire process in a way that was easy for us to understand. Originally we didn’t think we were going to want his ashes, but the thought of not having him back home was gut wrenching so I contacted her on the weekend to inquire if we would still be able to bring our sweet joy home. She was very helpful and very supportive. Thank you for making this part of pet parenting a tad bit smoother then we thought it could ever be. Highly recommend Dr Delia!
Thank you Dr. Delia. That was an incredibly difficult day. It also was the right thing to do for our sweet Beabs. Thank you so much for coming to our home. Your service and kindness was excellent. We felt very safe during the process. You are an excellent death doula. For such a hard process, you made it feel safe and go as smooth as possible.
Dr Delia was such a supportive, kind, affirmative presence to have at this difficult time. She took time to make us and our kitty Daisy feel comfortable, and informed us of how the process would go. She was so respectful of our grieving space and it just felt like having a friend there with us. I would Highly recommend her! She was also very accommodating and responsive when I felt anxious in the days before texting me and even was willing to come earlier than scheduled. Thank You
Dr. Delia was amazing during this really sad time for us. Having to put down our sweet doggie Callie after 16 years, was so difficult. Dr. Delia was kind and compassionate. She explained everything and confirmed that we were doing the right thing. It was a blessing having her come to our home, which made it so much easier for all of us, especially Callie. Thank you so much Dr. Delia!
