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.

It's hard to put into words how I feel right now. All I know is I appreciate Dr Perzak so much. Her kindness and gentle demeanor during this time meant the world to me. What an incredible service she she provides and is so accommodating. Thank you so much.
Dr Perzak was so warm and understanding. We had our whole family present and she was very thoughtful and gracious. I can not thank her enough
Dr. Perzak was very empathetic and kind throughout the entire process, even bringing our sweet girl's paw print and ashes back to the house after the fact. We appreciate her thoroughness during the process, and communication. We would recommend her to anyone. Thank you for making an already difficult situation more manageable.
My wife and I recently had to make the heartbreaking decision to have our dog Batman, euthanized, and Dr. Deborah Perzak was phenomenal throughout the entire process. She was sincere, compassionate, and incredibly kind. Her ability to communicate clearly and empathetically helped us feel supported and informed every step of the way. She made an unbearable situation as peaceful and dignified as possible, and we are deeply grateful for her professionalism and care. Thank you a million times, Dr. Deborah Perzak, for your kindness during such a difficult time.
