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'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 is so kind and accommodating. My Maggie Mae just could not wait another day. Her health was failing rapidly. I contacted Dr. Delia and she came that day. Letting go was so hard, but saying goodbye to my dear girl at home with my other dog present was such a comfort.

Review by Dr. Delia Gregory-Macdonald

Dr Delia was such a supportive, kind, affirmative presence to have at this difficult time. She took time to make us and our kitty Daisy feel comfortable, and informed us of how the process would go. She was so respectful of our grieving space and it just felt like having a friend there with us. I would Highly recommend her! She was also very accommodating and responsive when I felt anxious in the days before texting me and even was willing to come earlier than scheduled. Thank You

Knowing what the best decision is in this situation can be stressful and overwhelming. Our vet referred me to CodaPet which hooked us up with Dr. Delia. Dr. Delia arrived with a professional warmth and comforting energy that we appreciate so much. She felt like family. Providing this at home service for our pup (and ourselves) was 100%, no doubt the best decision and it makes us feel at peace. Thank you Dr. Delia for simply being you.

I cannot begin to express our gratitude for the skilled, loving and compassionate care that Dr. Delia gave to Gabby and to us last Friday. She was at our home within three hours of my booking the appointment. She lovingly reassured our Gabby that she was going to help her and carefully explained everything that she would be doing. Gabby gently fell asleep in my arms. After Gabby was gone we walked her to Dr. Delia’s car together . Everything is taken care of for us; all arrangements are made and we’ll receive Gabby’s ashes to keep with us shortly. We are heartbroken, but able to look back on this most difficult of days with less pain knowing that Gabby went so peacefully, within a few hours after her legs failed her, in her familiar surroundings surrounded by love. Thank you Codapet and Dr. Delia!
