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

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.

Thank you for holding this space for us while assisting Brownie, and our family, during such a difficult time. Your ability to be emotionally present and compassionate was deeply felt and appreciated by us all. Brownie was well loved and cared for throughout her life, including those final moments with you guiding us. I felt her relax and melt into me with your presence and treatment. You are truly a blessing and I’m grateful to have met you on this journey.

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 couldn't be more grateful to have found Dr. Delia and Coda Pet. I wasn't sure what to think initially since I just found Coda Pet online and it wasn't listed or referred by an of the local vets I'd spoken too. I'm so happy I trusted them! It was very difficult finding somebody to come for in-home euthanasia on urgent notice especially with my husky Koda taking a major turn on a big holiday week. Dr. Delia was able to do it on a whim and reschedule with me as needed given how moment-to-moment Koda was. She even drove all the way back from her holiday early to be able to help support us. Even more, Dr. Delia was an absolute rockstar for a very tricky situation. Koda was crying to be outside during it. We didn't think about time and it turned dark by the time it was time to do the procedure. His veins had collapsed and after multiple rounds, ended up needing an IV to perform the procedure (in the dark!). Dr. Delia handled it all while caring to our needs in this difficult time and even keeping unaware neighbors away. She was an absolute angel. I couldn't have asked for a better person to help with the most difficult day of my life. Bless you and thank you. Dr. Delia Love, Neil, Marissa, Pat & Koda

My husband and I are so grateful for Dr Delia. She came to our home on a very rainy Sunday afternoon to help us say goodbye to our 15 1/2 year old chihuahua terrier. Her kindness and compassion helped us give Maggie the respectful goodbye she deserved. Dr Delia gently explained everything to us, answered all of our questions and allowed us the time we needed with each step. We are so thankful for Dr Delia. She will always be an important piece of Maggie’s story.
