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 was amazing during this really sad time for us. Having to put down our sweet doggie Callie after 16 years, was so difficult. Dr. Delia was kind and compassionate. She explained everything and confirmed that we were doing the right thing. It was a blessing having her come to our home, which made it so much easier for all of us, especially Callie. Thank you so much Dr. Delia!

Dr. Delia Gregory-Macdonald is an angel on Earth. The time came to put down our 13 year old family dog. I wanted this to be done in the familiar comfort of our home. Dr Delia came to our house shortly after I reached out. She was kind and compassionate and made Mia’s transition calm, pain free and peaceful. She is an amazing human and is excellent at what she does. I am so grateful. Thank you so much Dr Delia.

Thank you for holding this space for us while assisting Brownie, and our family, during such a difficult time. Your ability to be emotionally present and compassionate was deeply felt and appreciated by us all. Brownie was well loved and cared for throughout her life, including those final moments with you guiding us. I felt her relax and melt into me with your presence and treatment. You are truly a blessing and I’m grateful to have met you on this journey.

Review by Dr. Delia Gregory-Macdonald

Dr. Delia's kindness, compassion, and empathy throughout the entire process turned a devastating decision and event into one where I was able to hold onto some peace, both throughout the process and after. She was so sweet and loving to my dog throughout, and although I chose for it to be just me and my boy, her caring presence made me feel like I wasn't alone. Dr. Delia made the entire process so much easier and I am so grateful that she was recommended to me. Losing your loving companion is never easy, but having someone there by your side who's compassion truly makes you feel seen in all your sadness makes the process a little easier. I would highly recommend Dr. Delia.

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.
