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

Dr. Delia is so kind and accommodating. My Maggie Mae just could not wait another day. Her health was failing rapidly. I contacted Dr. Delia and she came that day. Letting go was so hard, but saying goodbye to my dear girl at home with my other dog present was such a comfort.

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.

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.

What a wonderful experience, all things considered. She was so flexible, at the last minute came and met me and my pup 45 minutes away from the original planned location, to help my dog be even more comfortable. It was dignified, efficient, and gave me so much closure in the loss of my sweet dog.
