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 Dr Delia for her grounded compassion, sensitivity, and assured experience. She might as well also be titled a death dula and is truly a treasure. It’s unfortunate to have met under such circumstances but my gratitude for her expertise in this realm is forever and she is a lovely person. My best friend Mj went so peacefully and smoothly and it’s a forever gift for both of us. Dr Delia was wonderfully accommodating of my request to allow my other younger dog and dear human friend to also be present with us and witness, and she offered the most comforting kind and helpful words and information. It feels strange to leave a review for this but truly I would recommend her to any and all my loved ones faced with this decision regarding their own beloved furry family members. Thank you forever Dr Delia, from both me and my best friend’s spirit, you provided a compassionate healing, truly.

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.

Review by Dr. Delia Gregory-Macdonald

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 Delia Gregory-Macdonald was everything we could have hoped for and so much more!! Being able to transition our boy Jaxx (a rottweiler), over the Rainbow Bridge, here at home, was beautiful and comfortable experience for all of us. It is a decision I'm extremely happy we made since Jaxx weighed atleast 115 lbs. It turns out his leg had broke (hours prior) due to the cancer. Cancer SUCKS!

This is a very difficult life event but having Dr Delia assist with the process of letting our little lovely girl leave her life, in a peaceful and loving way, was not only the right thing to do for our little girl but it was also the best way for us to say goodbye. I am so glad that Dr. Delia was available. Dr Delia is a very caring, calming, and understanding soul which is very helpful. If you can, you should try to make plans to let your beloved pets go peacefully. It is best for them, and for you, and Coda and Dr Delia make it easy to plan for this very difficult day.

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.
