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

I would highly recommend Codapet . It was less stressful staying home and having our Annie pass in a peaceful environment. It was beautiful. Dr. Delia was absolutely amazing and went over all the details of the process. Thank you Dr. Delia.

Dr. Gregory-Macdonald made the experience of saying good-bye to our dog a beautiful and heart-soothing experience. Her gentle nature with both our dog and we humans was calming, and she provided all the information we needed to fully understand what was going to happen and what options were open to us. I have already recommended her to several of my friends whose pets are aging. Thank you.

Review by Dr. Delia Gregory-Macdonald

What a wonderful experience, all things considered. She was so flexible, at the last minute came and met me and my pup 45 minutes away from the original planned location, to help my dog be even more comfortable. It was dignified, efficient, and gave me so much closure in the loss of my sweet dog.

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.

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!
