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 brought such compassion to our home during one of our hardest days. She explained the process very well and was nothing but caring during the entire process. I would highly recommend.
Dr. Simpson was really great to work with. She understood the urgency of our need and came early in the morning even though she didn’t have any appointments available. She was very compassionate and calm and made this stressful situation much better.
Dr. Katie came to us close to the Christmas holiday with an impossible task: putting our 13-year-old dog to rest just 3 days before what’s supposed to be the happiest day of our kids year. She walked them through the entire procedure and even included them in the process so they could properly understand what was happening to their puppy dog as well as help him go to the next phase. I can’t say enough on how compassionate Dr. Katie was and, while we certainly never want to have to do these things, people like Dr. Katie make it something to be honored and respected. We appreciate her so much and believe she has played an important role in our children’s lives by helping them with the loss of their first pet. We cannot recommend her enough.
Dr. Katie Simpson was an absolute angel to our family and our dear departing Golden Retriever. Her compassion, professionalism, kindness and care were over the top excellent. We cannot recommend her enough--she even sent us a sympathy card---Dr. Katie Simpson is an amazing woman doing incredible work. We are so grateful. Liz, Jim, Cubby and Kat (Wilson's family)
Katie has euthanized two of our dogs in the space of 18 months, both on short notice due to increasingly aggressive cancers. She was so extraordinary last time that I we requested her by name this time. Words don’t do justice to her skill and empathetic demeanor. She feels like an honorary family member at this point, and we are incredibly grateful for her role in our toughest times.
Dr. Katie was fantastic in a tough time for our family. She was caring, gentle, and comforting to both our dog Emmie and us. She did a great job making Emmie feel secure and at ease with her kindness. We thank her for providing such high level of care, and highly recommend her and her services.
