Why I provide at-home pet euthanasia
I offer in-home euthanasia because it can transform a profoundly sad moment into a deeply personal and peaceful farewell. The clinical environment of a veterinary office can be overwhelming and distressing, not just for pets but for owners as well. At home, the process can be gentler and less traumatic, allowing for a more natural transition. I am dedicated to honoring the beautiful bond between pets and their owners. My ultimate goal is to allow pets to pass away in a familiar, peaceful setting that honors their dignity.

What pet parents are saying
Dr. De Villa was so kind and patient during this most difficult time. Her compassion and care towards Elsie my Pet for 14 years was really appreciated.
Angela was great. She came highly recommended by my vet. She gave great guidance beforehand. We were back and forth on whether my wife and I wanted the kids there. I understand that she runs a business but the customer service and empathy made the experience as good as it could be under the circumstances. Although it was a sad moment, she also helped in making it beautiful experience shared amongst the whole family. Thank you so much.
Our Vet was very detail-oriented and compassionate. Not only, did she do everything in her power to help my dog,she also consulted outside sources. She is a true gem.
She was very kind and informative of the euthanasia process. She answered all of my concerns prior to the procedure. My sweet girl was in good hands and crossed over the rainbow bridge very peacefully
Dr. Angela De Villa was great making us feel at ease and when you talk, you can feel her emotion and very comfort to us. Thank you for helping us and helping our dog.
Dr. Angela De Villa couldn’t earn enough stars! She was as good as it could be in this difficult circumstance. She helped my beloved pet and my family embrace in home euthanasia in the most dignified and pain free way for my loved one. Thank you Dr. De Villa. German T. San Diego.
