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. Simpson was a literal angel on earth as she helped our elderly dog, Penny, transition. She was the most sweet, kind, and patient vet I had ever met. She was with us almost 90 minutes and gave us all the time we needed to walk through such an emotionally difficult process. She listened to our stories about Penny and was so incredibly compassionate and supportive. She even mailed us a card recounting in detail her enjoyment of the stories we shared of Penny’s adventures with us. We are forever grateful to Dr. Simpson and would wholeheartedly recommend her for anyone who is facing the difficult decision of saying goodbye to their fur baby.
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.
Dr. Katie was amazing I am so grateful to have had her there in Cortana's final moments. She listened to, and felt the emotions with us of the stories we shared with her.
Her bedside manner is incredible. She was patient in explaining the process to my child in a way he could understand. She gave us as much time as we wanted to say goodbye and never once rushed us. Most importantly, she was sympathetic to our feelings around losing our pet without being pitying. I really appreciate her and won't hesitate to use her if/when we have to put another pet down.
Dr. Simpson went out of her way to provide us exceptional service including bringing our pet's clay paw print down to us so we did not have to make a special trip to Ft Collins to pick it up. During her visit with us she was so sympathetic to our situation and gentle and kind with all of our pets.
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.
