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

The whole process from booking online to having Dr. Klepper coming to our home was great! Having to put our fur baby down was not an easy decision. To have Dr. Klepper come to our home made it VERY peaceful for Lola. She gave us all the time we needed and made Lola comfortable. We will use Dr. Klepper in the future. 100% recommend for a peaceful ending to your fur baby.

Review by Dr. Caitlin Klepper

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.

Dr. Klepper was everything we could have hoped for during this difficult experience. My wife and I are so grateful. It was such a gift to say goodbye to our baby Millie gently and peacefully in our home.

In such a difficult moment for our family, Dr. Klepper's compassion and understanding meant the world to us. She explained everything she was doing and was so gentle with our dog, Hailey.

Dr. Klepper made the experience of losing our dog Bella so peaceful. She has the most relaxing demeanor and talked us through each step. She explained things thoroughly and really put our minds at ease that it was the right thing to do.

Review by Dr. Caitlin Klepper

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.
