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 was wonderful, and really helped us through this difficult time. She was very patient and caring, and we could take all the time needed to say our goodbyes to our sweet Max.
Dr. Deborah made a difficult situation very comfortable for our pet Ruby and us as well. I would not have guessed that my wife would witness the proceedings, but it helped that she was there by her side and experience the compassion of the moment. A very special and fitting end to a life.
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 was absolutely a God send. She knew exactly what to say and do to help guide us through this difficult time in our lives. Losing a pet is never easy, but Dr. Perzak came with a quiet peace that reassured us and our 14 year old fur baby.
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.
What an amazing experience during a time that was so difficult! My sweet Bentley was able to have a stress free transition being loved and held through it all! She was amazing!
