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.

We recently faced one of the most difficult decisions of our lives—to let our beloved dog, Libby, peacefully cross the rainbow bridge. In this incredibly emotional moment, Dr. Delia was a beacon of compassion, sensitivity, and care. From the moment we connected with her, Dr. Delia’s tender demeanor and genuine empathy made all the difference. She approached Libby’s transition with the utmost respect, ensuring that every step was gentle and comforting—for Libby and for us. Her kindness gave us peace of mind and the reassurance that we were doing the right thing for our cherished companion. We are truly grateful to have had Dr. Delia by our side during this time. Her compassion turned what could have been an overwhelmingly painful experience into a deeply heartfelt and peaceful farewell. We cannot recommend her highly enough to anyone facing a similar journey. Thank you, Dr. Delia, for your extraordinary care and love.

Dr. Gregory MacDonald was compassionate not only with my Sam but also with my surviving pups, Willie & Howie. She explained everything about the process and was sensitive to my needs as Sam's companion. Thank you Dr. Gregory -Macdonald.

Review by Dr. Delia Gregory-Macdonald

Dr. Delia was extremely compassionate. She sat with us and had a cup of tea, which allowed our dog, Penny, to settle and relax. It also gave us the opportunity to discuss Penny’s health and our decision—something we had been struggling with. We knew it was the right decision for Penny, but speaking with Dr. Delia helped us make peace with it. When it was time to say goodbye to Penny, everything was gentle and calm. We couldn’t have hoped for a more peaceful goodbye. Thank you, Dr. Delia, for your compassion and for making Penny’s final moments so peaceful.

Dr. Delia was caring and compassionate. She explained everything so we knew what to expect. She is a wonderful Veterinarian and human being. We are greatly missing our dog Max but know we did the right thing for him. To let him pass in the comfort of his home with the people who love him the most.
