Dr. Deborah Perzak
Verified Veterinarian
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.

What pet parents are saying
Dr. Perzak is kind, gentle, and understanding. It’s never easy deciding to say goodbye to a pet but having the ability to do it at home instead of in a vets office where your pet may feel uncomfortable is a blessing. Trigger loved Dr. Perzak when she was his primary vet and it was truly comforting for him to wag his tail and be excited to see her again before he left us. The follow up email providing resources was very helpful as well. This is an expensive service but I think it’s well worth the price.
Dr. Perzack was so kind and professional. She took her time to comfort us and our fur baby before beginning the process. It was a hard decision for us as a family, but she help reassure us it was the right decision for our rottie.
Dr Perzak is a lovely person. She is very professional and has empathy for the people going through this process. Thank you, Dr Perzak. I hope life treats you as well as you treat others.
The kindness and compassion for our sweet Molly and our family Dr. Perzak shared made a very difficult time bearable. Fortunately we haven't had to go through this before and really were apprehensive and torn about the decision. Having Molly at home surrounded by her family and her furry siblings let us know without a doubt we had an angel with us in Dr Perzak. Thank you
Dr Perzak was kind, understanding, compassionate and patient. She didn't rush the process and gave us all the time we needed. I highly recommend her!
Debra was a God sent angel ! She took her time with us and explained everything that she was doing! Harley was very happy with her and I think he was very grateful to her! We ended up knowing each other and that made for a pleasant experience! We couldn’t have wrote the ending any better!
