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 Gregory-Macdonald was amazing. Unfortunately, we have had a couple of experiences with in-home euthanasia and am actually glad I never heard back from our previous provider. It has now been 5 days and I've yet to hear back from our previous provider. Dr. Delia was so kind and caring. She immediately put myself, husband and adult son at ease while going through this incredibly painful task. She was very focused on easing our distress and making sure that our Zeke was not suffering. The whole experience was easy. I found CodaPet via google, explained my needs, put in my info and they matched us with Dr. Delia who was able to come to the house the following day. She started communicating with me right away and would have come sooner if it was needed, if our doggo was declining faster. Really cant say enough great things about Dr Delia and CodaPet.

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.

In such a difficult time for our family, I'm glad we found Dr. Delia Gregory-Macdonald. She is such a kind and compassionate person and really took the time to show honor and respect to our Hunter boy in his final moments. She gave all the details and information in a caring manner and took her time to provide comfort and support to our family. If you have to make the tough decision to help your pet family cross the rainbow bridge, I highly recommend Dr. Delia. Rest in Peace Our Sweet Hunter!!!! You are deeply missed ❤️

Dr. Delia couldn't have been more wonderful-- she was caring, calm, knowledgable, and treated our dog and family like she had known us for years. So authentic and genuine. She guided us through the entire process and made a difficult day easier.

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.❤️

We recently faced one of the most difficult decisions of our lives—to let our beloved dog, Libby, peacefully cross the rainbow bridge. In this incredibly emotional moment, Dr. Delia was a beacon of compassion, sensitivity, and care. From the moment we connected with her, Dr. Delia’s tender demeanor and genuine empathy made all the difference. She approached Libby’s transition with the utmost respect, ensuring that every step was gentle and comforting—for Libby and for us. Her kindness gave us peace of mind and the reassurance that we were doing the right thing for our cherished companion. We are truly grateful to have had Dr. Delia by our side during this time. Her compassion turned what could have been an overwhelmingly painful experience into a deeply heartfelt and peaceful farewell. We cannot recommend her highly enough to anyone facing a similar journey. Thank you, Dr. Delia, for your extraordinary care and love.
