Why I provide at-home pet euthanasia
I offer in-home euthanasia because it can transform a profoundly sad moment into a deeply personal and peaceful farewell. The clinical environment of a veterinary office can be overwhelming and distressing, not just for pets but for owners as well. At home, the process can be gentler and less traumatic, allowing for a more natural transition. I am dedicated to honoring the beautiful bond between pets and their owners. My ultimate goal is to allow pets to pass away in a familiar, peaceful setting that honors their dignity.

What pet parents are saying
Dr. De Villa was so compassionate and informative during the whole process. We appreciate her dedication to providing such an important service.
Dr. DeVilla was a very compassionate and considerate person. She also affirmed that under the circumstances, this was the best choice for my baby to avoid more significant pain in the near future. She explained all thoroughly and only moved forward each step when our family was ready. We were blessed to have her take care of my little Moonstone.
I'm so grateful I found this company when searching for an in home pet euthanasia company. When it became clear it was time to say goodbye to my soul dog, I was able to book an appointment at the last minute, and Dr. De Villa was very compassionate and reached out right away. She was gentle, empathetic, and truly made a heartbreaking situation as peaceful and beautiful as it could possibly be. My dog was comfortable and surrounded by love in their familiar surroundings, which made all the difference. I can't thank them enough for providing such a calm and respectful passing. I highly recommend their services to anyone facing this difficult time.
Dr. Angela kept us posted about her arrival time, which we appreciated. Her 'good vibes" were immediately apparent. She steps lightly and speaks gently. She explained, ahead of time, exactly what she would be doing for Frankie, and was willing and able to work with Frankie on my lap. She listened carefully to Frankie's heart, and let us know when it stopped beating. She gave us some private moments, and returned with a basket and blankets. My grandson was able to place Frankie into the carry basket. Thank you, Dr De Villa, for being who you are in this crazy old world, so that we could give Frankie our final gift of peace.
Dr DeVilla was absolutely awesome with us. My granddaughters wanted to be there when our dog was heading to the rainbow bridge. She was supportive and sensitive to our needs and took wonderful care of our beloved dog.
Dear Dr. Angela De Villa, helping our sweet doggy, Chocolate, be comfortable and at peace was the kindest, most humane service I have ever been witness to. She was the heartbeat of our household, and she is very missed. But we can feel good knowing she is free now from pain. The whole procedure was fast, but not rushed. Professional, and yet full of compassion. My family thanks you a thousand times over for being warm, understanding, and kind.
