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

I couldn't be more grateful to have found Dr. Delia and Coda Pet. I wasn't sure what to think initially since I just found Coda Pet online and it wasn't listed or referred by an of the local vets I'd spoken too. I'm so happy I trusted them! It was very difficult finding somebody to come for in-home euthanasia on urgent notice especially with my husky Koda taking a major turn on a big holiday week. Dr. Delia was able to do it on a whim and reschedule with me as needed given how moment-to-moment Koda was. She even drove all the way back from her holiday early to be able to help support us. Even more, Dr. Delia was an absolute rockstar for a very tricky situation. Koda was crying to be outside during it. We didn't think about time and it turned dark by the time it was time to do the procedure. His veins had collapsed and after multiple rounds, ended up needing an IV to perform the procedure (in the dark!). Dr. Delia handled it all while caring to our needs in this difficult time and even keeping unaware neighbors away. She was an absolute angel. I couldn't have asked for a better person to help with the most difficult day of my life. Bless you and thank you. Dr. Delia Love, Neil, Marissa, Pat & Koda

I had not met Dr. Delia until the day she came to help our Zoey pass. She was kind, thoughtful, and explained the process so I would feel comfortable. Extremely compassionate and felt like an old friend. Thank you

Dr. Delia Gregory-Macdonald was so kind, compassionate and understanding of the difficult decision it was to put down our beloved dog Bandit -our rescue dog of 15 years and one that we had before having kids! Dr. Delia really understood how painful this decision was and took the time to talk with me over the process and my concerns. She even shared her experience with putting down a beloved dog-so she gets it. I miss my Bandit dearly, but I know she is in a better place and I am so thankful of the support Delia was able to provide during that difficult time. Highly recommend Dr. Delia Gregory-Macdonald.

Delia was incredible through the entire process of putting our sweet dog down. She entered our home with kindness respect and love. She took the perfect amount of time to explain what to expect while holding space for our dog and our feelings. Through out the process she checked in with us and shared stories to help connect and elevate our feelings. We felt held, heard and cared for as we made this very challenging transition. We could not have asked for a better vet to support this heart breaking decision.

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

I really appreciated Dr. Delia Gregory-Macdonald's home visit to assist my little 17 year old pet with kidney disease peacefully transition as he approached the end of his life. The process was clearly explained and went very smoothly. I was feel grateful for the opportunity to be with my pet in the peace of my home, and to hold him while he quietly transitioned, tothe have time to say goodbye before sending him off with her to be cremated. Dr. Delia was kind, empathetic and supportive and I will use her again when my 18 year old pooch is ready to move on. Thanks for making the process as sweet as it could be.
