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 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.

Review by Dr. Delia Gregory-Macdonald

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.

I'll forever be grateful for my experience with Dr. Delia- she was patient, compassionate, and an incredible container for what I anticipated to be an overwhelmingly painful appointment. She was thorough in guiding me through the experience, was respectful and open to all of my questions throughout, and gave my dog the gift of dignity and warmth in his final moments.

I highly recommend at home euthanasia, it was a very peaceful experience. Extremely thankful for the compassion that Dr Delia provided me during / after my two old girls crossed the rainbow bridge. She was even kind enough to send me a card.

Review by Dr. Delia Gregory-Macdonald

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!
