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

Thank you for holding this space for us while assisting Brownie, and our family, during such a difficult time. Your ability to be emotionally present and compassionate was deeply felt and appreciated by us all. Brownie was well loved and cared for throughout her life, including those final moments with you guiding us. I felt her relax and melt into me with your presence and treatment. You are truly a blessing and I’m grateful to have met you on this journey.

Review by Dr. Delia Gregory-Macdonald

Knowing what the best decision is in this situation can be stressful and overwhelming. Our vet referred me to CodaPet which hooked us up with Dr. Delia. Dr. Delia arrived with a professional warmth and comforting energy that we appreciate so much. She felt like family. Providing this at home service for our pup (and ourselves) was 100%, no doubt the best decision and it makes us feel at peace. Thank you Dr. Delia for simply being you.

Dr. Delia's kindness, compassion, and empathy throughout the entire process turned a devastating decision and event into one where I was able to hold onto some peace, both throughout the process and after. She was so sweet and loving to my dog throughout, and although I chose for it to be just me and my boy, her caring presence made me feel like I wasn't alone. Dr. Delia made the entire process so much easier and I am so grateful that she was recommended to me. Losing your loving companion is never easy, but having someone there by your side who's compassion truly makes you feel seen in all your sadness makes the process a little easier. I would highly recommend Dr. Delia.

Dr. Delia Gregory-Macdonald is an angel on Earth. The time came to put down our 13 year old family dog. I wanted this to be done in the familiar comfort of our home. Dr Delia came to our house shortly after I reached out. She was kind and compassionate and made Mia’s transition calm, pain free and peaceful. She is an amazing human and is excellent at what she does. I am so grateful. Thank you so much Dr Delia.

Dr. Gregory-Macdonald made the experience of saying good-bye to our dog a beautiful and heart-soothing experience. Her gentle nature with both our dog and we humans was calming, and she provided all the information we needed to fully understand what was going to happen and what options were open to us. I have already recommended her to several of my friends whose pets are aging. Thank you.
