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 is truly one of the most amazing people I have ever met. She gave us peace of mind by answering all of our questions and throughly explaining what our baby girl was experiencing. We are so happy that our Mira was surrounded by love and comfort in her final moments.

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.

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.

Dr. Delia was a compassionate professional. She fully and gently explained the procedure and carried it out ... My senior cat Gracie had lost her mobility and she was miserable. No turning back, no more late night trips to ER vet for other problems, it was time and here at home was The place. I remain confident in my decision and I highly recommend Dr. Delia Gregory McDonald. Sincerely, Sandy Mackey

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.

Review by Dr. Delia Gregory-Macdonald

I really appreciated Dr. Delia Gregory-Macdonald's home visit to assist my little 17 year old pet with kidney disease peacefully transition as he approached the end of his life. The process was clearly explained and went very smoothly. I was feel grateful for the opportunity to be with my pet in the peace of my home, and to hold him while he quietly transitioned, tothe have time to say goodbye before sending him off with her to be cremated. Dr. Delia was kind, empathetic and supportive and I will use her again when my 18 year old pooch is ready to move on. Thanks for making the process as sweet as it could be.
