Why I provide at-home pet euthanasia
Growing up I was surrounded by animals and the industries involved in helping animals lead good lives and remain healthy. When I am with animals, I am happy. I have always had a calling to care for things. It is what drives me. It is what makes me feel like I am doing something good in the world.

What pet parents are saying
Dr. Klepper was professional and understanding. She was able to make a difficult situation bearable. She gave us the time to say goodbye to our 20 year old cat.
Dr. Klepper was sensitive and juggled her schedule so our dear pet didn't need to suffer any longer than neccesary. She treated us with kindness and empathy. She explained the proceedure and gave us time at each step to have those final moments.
Dr. Klepper was patient, kind, and professional. She kept me informed, was respectful, and communicated with me frequently between when I first contacted her and when she arrived. It was a devastating day, and Dr. Klepper helped me navigate a very difficult decision.
The most compassionate experience. Our boy didn't like the vet, or a leash, so having Dr. Klepper come to us so he could stay in his yard was definitely what my soul needed to say goodbye. Thank you, Dr. K. I cannot express our gratitude for the peaceful passing.
Dr. Caitlin Klepper was very personable and made the whole process reassuring and calm. She made sure we understood everything and explained the process. I couldn’t recommend her enough and I am so thankful for her.
Dr. Klepper was very compassionate and professional. She did not rush the process and let us have as much time with Ariel as we needed/wanted. I am grateful that she provides this service and appreciate that she does it well.
