Dr. Katie Simpson
Verified Veterinarian
Why I provide at-home pet euthanasia
I became a vet partly because I grew up on a ranch with a variety of animals and loved being able to help take care of them. I have wanted to be in this profession since I was five years old. I love spending time with my partner, pets, friends, and visiting all of the beautiful places in this world...especially in Colorado! Also love trail running and scuba diving.

What pet parents are saying
Dr Katie was just the person we needed to see us through the loss of our family cat. She let us tell stories, ugly cry, and sat in our backyard with us while our family said goodbye together. We were given much needed space and time to hold her after she died. I didn’t know I needed all the help she provided, but now I can’t imagine going through that without her there. Thank you Dr. Katie
Dr. Simpson was so wonderful when I needed to put my dog down. She didn't rush me, she reassured me about the decision and gave me time alone once he passed. She was so gentle and caring with him, but also with me. I could not have had a better experience than being at home where he is comfortable, and with Dr. Katie there to support.
Dr. Katie Simpson was so considerate, gentle, and kind. She and her team made what was a very hard day a little bit better. I couldn't have asked for a better doctor to come to our home.
We’ve experienced in-home pet euthanasia several times and the opportunity to let Munchkin leave us while resting in front of her fireplace rather than being crated for a drive to town was very valuable to all of us. Dr. Katie was very calm, comforting and compassionate and she made the process of letting Munchkin go one of love and respect. She was very attuned to Munchkin’s comfort and emotional needs, but also made sure that we thought about and understood how the other pets in the house might react to Munchkin’s passing.
There is nothing easy about letting our furry family members pass over the rainbow bridge, but our experience with Dr. Katie Simpson was the best we could imagine. She communicated with us in the days and hours before she arrived to administer at home euthanasia, so we knew what to expect. She was extraordinarily kind and patient as we went through our last minute doubts and did not rush us to a decision. Her bedside manner was gentle and we are very grateful for her skills and helping us give our beloved dog a serene passing.
Dr Katie was a blessing for us during this process. I could not have asked for a more compassionate, knowledgeable, and kind person. This was one of the hardest thing my husband and I have had to do, but having Dr Katie with us through the process of putting down our beloved cat made the world of difference.
