Verified Veterinarian
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.

Delia MacDonald is so compassionate and helpful in holistic practices. She had the hard job of telling me my dog had bone cancer and was patient in explaining prognosis and suggesting options for my dog’s sake as well as my own. When the time came to say goodbye, Delia came to my home within hours of my request. I’ve had a lot of dogs but this was by far the most peaceful departure I experienced. Much love and spirituality in the unrushed ceremony of celebrating life. My dog was calm and her soul was free to leave her body. I will be forever grateful for having Delia with us on this special day. Thank you Delia!
Dr. Delia Gregory-Macdonald was so kind, compassionate and understanding of the difficult decision it was to put down our beloved dog Bandit -our rescue dog of 15 years and one that we had before having kids! Dr. Delia really understood how painful this decision was and took the time to talk with me over the process and my concerns. She even shared her experience with putting down a beloved dog-so she gets it. I miss my Bandit dearly, but I know she is in a better place and I am so thankful of the support Delia was able to provide during that difficult time. Highly recommend Dr. Delia Gregory-Macdonald.
Dr. Delia is a compassionate vet. We felt comforted by her the moment we met. She explained the process and what to expect. She was very thorough. I felt like she was a family member grieving with us! We felt so fortunate to have Dr. Delia help our strong and handsome Tigger transition and with love and ease. It was a beautiful time together. Thank You, Dr. Delia!☀️💕🐾🐾
Dr. Delia couldn't have been more wonderful-- she was caring, calm, knowledgable, and treated our dog and family like she had known us for years. So authentic and genuine. She guided us through the entire process and made a difficult day easier.
She is was very considerate to our needs. I mentioned that my dog preferred to not be looked at, because that made her nervous. Delia listened, and made my dog feel safe and comfortable. She also explained things clearly to me and my son, so we were not scared or surprised by the process. I highly recommend her.
Dr Delia was so caring and amazing, she made an awful time so much easier on me and my family, thank you codapet for making it possible
