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

Thank you Dr. Delia. That was an incredibly difficult day. It also was the right thing to do for our sweet Beabs. Thank you so much for coming to our home. Your service and kindness was excellent. We felt very safe during the process. You are an excellent death doula. For such a hard process, you made it feel safe and go as smooth as possible.

Review by Dr. Delia Gregory-Macdonald

Delia was incredible through the entire process of putting our sweet dog down. She entered our home with kindness respect and love. She took the perfect amount of time to explain what to expect while holding space for our dog and our feelings. Through out the process she checked in with us and shared stories to help connect and elevate our feelings. We felt held, heard and cared for as we made this very challenging transition. We could not have asked for a better vet to support this heart breaking decision.

Dr. Delia Gregory-Macdonald is an angel on Earth. The time came to put down our 13 year old family dog. I wanted this to be done in the familiar comfort of our home. Dr Delia came to our house shortly after I reached out. She was kind and compassionate and made Mia’s transition calm, pain free and peaceful. She is an amazing human and is excellent at what she does. I am so grateful. Thank you so much Dr Delia.

We couldn’t have had a better experience through such a difficult time as that which you provided for us. You were great and we are very “great”-ful to you for all you did for us, and him.

Review by Dr. Delia Gregory-Macdonald

Dr. Delia Gregory-Macdonald was so kind, compassionate and understanding of the difficult decision it was to put down our beloved dog Bandit -our rescue dog of 15 years and one that we had before having kids! Dr. Delia really understood how painful this decision was and took the time to talk with me over the process and my concerns. She even shared her experience with putting down a beloved dog-so she gets it. I miss my Bandit dearly, but I know she is in a better place and I am so thankful of the support Delia was able to provide during that difficult time. Highly recommend Dr. Delia Gregory-Macdonald.

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.
