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.

Dr. Delia Gregory-Macdonald is a kind human. She was thorough in explaining what steps were needed, she was gentle and compassionate. Her calm presence was exactly what was needed, and she helped create a space for dignity and reverence our fur baby deserved.

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.

We couldn’t have had a better experience through such a difficult time as that which you provided for us. You were great and we are very “great”-ful to you for all you did for us, and him.

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 was so very compassionate and such a lovely lady to myself and my family. She took the time to answer questions and was so very thoughtful and kind and still so full of love. Having to say goodbye to our dog was super hard and she made our experience as hard as it was at ease. If we ever have to do this again we will always use Dr. Dalia.❤️

We are so grateful that Dr. Delia was able to provide this service. She came on a Sunday and helped our very loved pet leave this earth with such gentleness and kindness. We felt completely heard and cared for and most importantly, we felt our pup was treated with the utmost care and consideration. If you must let a pet go, this is without question the best way possible.
