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 extremely compassionate. She sat with us and had a cup of tea, which allowed our dog, Penny, to settle and relax. It also gave us the opportunity to discuss Penny’s health and our decision—something we had been struggling with. We knew it was the right decision for Penny, but speaking with Dr. Delia helped us make peace with it. When it was time to say goodbye to Penny, everything was gentle and calm. We couldn’t have hoped for a more peaceful goodbye. Thank you, Dr. Delia, for your compassion and for making Penny’s final moments so peaceful.

Thank you so much for your compassion, words of comfort, and tremendous support on Tuesday morning as we said goodbye to our sweet lady Dallas. She will always hold such a special place in our hearts. We are so grateful to you for holding our hands through such a difficult process.

Review by Dr. Delia Gregory-Macdonald

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.

Review by Dr. Delia Gregory-Macdonald

I'll forever be grateful for my experience with Dr. Delia- she was patient, compassionate, and an incredible container for what I anticipated to be an overwhelmingly painful appointment. She was thorough in guiding me through the experience, was respectful and open to all of my questions throughout, and gave my dog the gift of dignity and warmth in his final moments.

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.

Review by Dr. Delia Gregory-Macdonald

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.❤️
