Our Story and Philosophy

Hello, and welcome! I’m Dr. Deborah Aronson, founder and head veterinarian of Twilight Range Veterinary Care in Park City, Utah. I’m honored to offer gentle, in-home palliative care and euthanasia for companion animals — support that allows families to say goodbye in the comfort of home, surrounded by peace and love.

Prior to opening Twilight Range Vet, I built Main Line Veterinary Integrative Practice in Pennsylvania, providing palliative and end-of-life care for dogs and cats. I was inspired to do so after euthanizing my own cat at home, realizing that the final stage of life can be as meaningful as any other — a time for tenderness, gratitude, and connection.

My approach is also shaped by my training as an interfaith chaplain through Main Line Health in Philadelphia, where I supported patients and families through difficult transitions. I bring that same spirit of presence and compassion to every family I serve.

Alongside my clinical work, I teach communication and humane euthanasia techniques to second-year veterinary students at the University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine. I’m also a Veterinary Facilitator for the University of Vermont Companion Animal End-of-Life Doula Program and a proud member of the International Association for Animal Hospice and Palliative Care (IAAHPC)

Here in Park City, you may find me volunteering with Nuzzles & Co., leading horses at the National Ability Center, and enjoying time outdoors — hiking, skiing, biking, and learning from the quiet wisdom of the mountains.

The name Twilight Range holds special meaning. It honors the beauty and expansiveness of life’s twilight — that tender range between light and shadow — where love and presence remain constant.

Thank you for welcoming me into your homes and your hearts. It’s my privilege and honor to walk beside you and your beloved animals in this most meaningful part of their journey.

Warmly,

Deborah A. Aronson, VMD, CVMA
