Why I provide at-home pet euthanasia

I wanted to become a veterinarian so that I could make a difference. When I was in college, I had a deep interest in science and research, and I loved to challenge myself. I was fortunate as a child to have parents that understood my love for animals and would allow me to "bring home the strays", so to speak. I worked for several years in the restaurant industry before deciding to use my gifts with people and animals, as well as my science background, to pursue my dream of becoming a veterinarian. I believe in the golden rule: Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. To me, this means treating the people I meet and the pets I take care of with respect, dignity, and compassion. I liken being a veterinarian to a pediatrician: Since both pets and small children cannot always communicate to me what is wrong, or where it hurts, it is up to me to listen to the pet parent and use what they say to help diagnose and treat their pet.

No one wants to have to put a pet down, But, In the hardest and most unexpected of times Dr. Perzak was the absolute best. Empathetic and caring, she made a difficult situation easier. Thank you. It was easier knowing you were there guiding me and Flynn through this process. Your kindness and professionalism don’t go unnoticed.

Review by Dr. Deborah Perzak

Dr. Perzak was very compassionate and supportive during our family's difficult time of letting go of our sweet Lilly! She was kind & patient. My son is military so he was not able to be home to say his goodbyes to his childhood dog. He was able to be a part via video call & she took the time to talk with him as well to include him in the moments to say goodbye. Her genuine compassion of our loss helped us understand why it was best to let our Lilly go who was very sick. Our family appreciates everything she did for us! Thank you so much Dr. Perzak!♥️

Dr. Perzak was absolutely a God send. She knew exactly what to say and do to help guide us through this difficult time in our lives. Losing a pet is never easy, but Dr. Perzak came with a quiet peace that reassured us and our 14 year old fur baby.

Review by Dr. Deborah Perzak

Dr. Perzak was absolutely incredible, she immediately put my whole family at ease with her manner, care, and attentiveness. She was lovely with our son and took time to get to know our sweet cat. I am so grateful for her skill helping our cat pass on with comfort and care. Thank you so very much for being so amazing during such a hard day!
