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 had not met Dr. Delia until the day she came to help our Zoey pass. She was kind, thoughtful, and explained the process so I would feel comfortable. Extremely compassionate and felt like an old friend. Thank you

Review by Dr. Delia Gregory-Macdonald

We recently lost our beloved little boy, Dutch, and in wanting to keep him at home for his final journey, I found Dr. Delia on the Codapet website. What a Godsend she was. She arrived on time, spent an hour talking us through this most heartbreaking event with so much compassion and empathy for our overwhelming sadness. She was soothing and gentle with Dutch, and intimately understood our pug's rapid decline having a pug herself. He was the last of five pugs, and sadly that chapter of our life is gone forever with him. Godspeed my sweet boy, we will see you all again someday.

Review by Dr. Delia Gregory-Macdonald

Dr. Delia is a compassionate vet. We felt comforted by her the moment we met. She explained the process and what to expect. She was very thorough. I felt like she was a family member grieving with us! We felt so fortunate to have Dr. Delia help our strong and handsome Tigger transition and with love and ease. It was a beautiful time together. Thank You, Dr. Delia!☀️💕🐾🐾

Review by Dr. Delia Gregory-Macdonald

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.

Review by Dr. Delia Gregory-Macdonald

Dr Delia Gregory-Macdonald was amazing. Unfortunately, we have had a couple of experiences with in-home euthanasia and am actually glad I never heard back from our previous provider. It has now been 5 days and I've yet to hear back from our previous provider. Dr. Delia was so kind and caring. She immediately put myself, husband and adult son at ease while going through this incredibly painful task. She was very focused on easing our distress and making sure that our Zeke was not suffering. The whole experience was easy. I found CodaPet via google, explained my needs, put in my info and they matched us with Dr. Delia who was able to come to the house the following day. She started communicating with me right away and would have come sooner if it was needed, if our doggo was declining faster. Really cant say enough great things about Dr Delia and CodaPet.
