Why I provide at-home pet euthanasia
Early on, I had a tremendous fascination with animals of all kinds, I found comfort and compassion from them in times of need as a child and on into adulthood. In elementary school, I would be the first to take care of the class pet. There were many: anoles (lizards), hamsters, and guinea pigs to name a few. Science classes intrigued me and were where I excelled. My anatomy class in high school sealed the deal. Ultimately, I wanted to care for animals and challenge myself to solve medical problems. Over time, it progressed to caring for not only the animal but also for their human owners. I have always offered at-home euthanasia services, having performed them for my own personal pets, and I realized the more peaceful experience for all involved. The last several years I've provided oncology (cancer) services to clients and their pets. With this comes the knowledge that even with treatment, most cancers will be terminal, and providing in-home end-of-life service to the numerous pets I treated in this capacity reinforced firsthand how beneficial in-home euthanasia is to the pet and their family when it comes time, allowing for the most gentle and tranquil passing.

What pet parents are saying
Saying goodbye to our beloved pet was terribly difficult, but Dr. Jenny Krueger was so kind and caring, giving us the best possible experience for this painful time. Our dog was immediately at ease with her, and we never felt rushed as we took as much time as we needed to spend with him. Highly recommend.
Dr. Krueger was incredibly kind and gentle with not only Kona but with me. She ensured I was thoroughly informed of each step of the process and gave me ample time at each phase to be with Kona. I am incredibly thankful for her kindness and patience, and could not have asked for a more peaceful way to say goodbye.
Dr Krueger is just the person you want when it’s time to say goodbye to your fur baby. She is a total pro who makes sure your pet, and you, are as comfortable as possible during such a difficult moment. If you need someone to make the end as peaceful as possible, contact Dr Krueger. You can’t go wrong with her.
Dr. Jenny Krueger works with compassion, care, and patience. She is there both for the pet (in my case a very beloved Corgi) and the human. Having needed to euthanize pets both at the vet and at home, being able to do this at home makes a terrible experience so much calmer. Setting everything up through the CodaPet interface was very easy and the fact that the portal gives you options about what kind of follow up you do or do not want was very respectful. I could not recommend Dr. Krueger more highly; her gentle care at such a wrenching time helped to confirm that we were making absolutely the right choice.
This was a very difficult decision for our family, but Dr. Krueger treated our dog with such compassion. As painful as it was, the entire process was peaceful.
Dr. Jenny Krueger was a true blessing during such a difficult time for me and my furry baby, Joey. Her tenderness, understanding, and empathy deeply comforted me as I said goodbye to my beloved and sweet baby. Thanks to her, I felt that Joey was in loving and respectful hands. Dr. Jenny Krueger, your dedication and kindness make a real difference in the lives of so many families. May your beautiful work continue to bring comfort and hope to those who need it most. Thank you for being there for me and my furry baby Joey.
