Verified Veterinarian
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.

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's kindness, compassion, and empathy throughout the entire process turned a devastating decision and event into one where I was able to hold onto some peace, both throughout the process and after. She was so sweet and loving to my dog throughout, and although I chose for it to be just me and my boy, her caring presence made me feel like I wasn't alone. Dr. Delia made the entire process so much easier and I am so grateful that she was recommended to me. Losing your loving companion is never easy, but having someone there by your side who's compassion truly makes you feel seen in all your sadness makes the process a little easier. I would highly recommend Dr. Delia.
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.
Dr. Delia Gregory-Macdonald was so kind, compassionate and understanding of the difficult decision it was to put down our beloved dog Bandit -our rescue dog of 15 years and one that we had before having kids! Dr. Delia really understood how painful this decision was and took the time to talk with me over the process and my concerns. She even shared her experience with putting down a beloved dog-so she gets it. I miss my Bandit dearly, but I know she is in a better place and I am so thankful of the support Delia was able to provide during that difficult time. Highly recommend Dr. Delia Gregory-Macdonald.
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!
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.
