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. 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.

In such a difficult time for our family, I'm glad we found Dr. Delia Gregory-Macdonald. She is such a kind and compassionate person and really took the time to show honor and respect to our Hunter boy in his final moments. She gave all the details and information in a caring manner and took her time to provide comfort and support to our family. If you have to make the tough decision to help your pet family cross the rainbow bridge, I highly recommend Dr. Delia. Rest in Peace Our Sweet Hunter!!!! You are deeply missed ❤️

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 were blessed to have Dr. Delia care for our sweet Maggie in her final moments. Dr. Delia gave Maggie the dignity we had prayed for-she was patient with our questions and offered us the support and compassion we needed during a very difficult decision. We can’t thank her enough!

I would highly recommend Codapet . It was less stressful staying home and having our Annie pass in a peaceful environment. It was beautiful. Dr. Delia was absolutely amazing and went over all the details of the process. Thank you Dr. Delia.

Delia MacDonald is so compassionate and helpful in holistic practices. She had the hard job of telling me my dog had bone cancer and was patient in explaining prognosis and suggesting options for my dog’s sake as well as my own. When the time came to say goodbye, Delia came to my home within hours of my request. I’ve had a lot of dogs but this was by far the most peaceful departure I experienced. Much love and spirituality in the unrushed ceremony of celebrating life. My dog was calm and her soul was free to leave her body. I will be forever grateful for having Delia with us on this special day. Thank you Delia!
