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 was very compassionate and explained the entire process in a way that was easy for us to understand. Originally we didn’t think we were going to want his ashes, but the thought of not having him back home was gut wrenching so I contacted her on the weekend to inquire if we would still be able to bring our sweet joy home. She was very helpful and very supportive. Thank you for making this part of pet parenting a tad bit smoother then we thought it could ever be. Highly recommend Dr Delia!

Dr. Delia is one of the kindest people I have ever met. Her energy is grounding, and her compassionate nature calms you as you do one of the hardest things you will ever do in your life. I can not recommend her highly enough. I will be forever grateful to her for the experience she provided.

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.

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 kind throughout the process of euthanasia for my beloved cat, Tom. None of my family could be here so I was by myself and beyond distraught. Dr. Delia did not rush me and was very patient and kind to me and Tom. She spoke to Tom as if he were her own beloved pet and was so kind and gentle with him, telling him what a good boy he was and how well he was doing. I was so thankful for Dr. Delia, as I was dreading saying goodbye to Tom and Dr. Delia made me feel at peace. I hope that Dr. Delia will be the one to help me if and when I need end of life help for a pet again.
