Why I provide at-home pet euthanasia

As my career has progressed, I have found helping pets transition out of this life to be the most meaningful and gratifying part of my job. The decision to say goodbye can be the most difficult and compassionate decision we make in the lives of our pets. Being able to do this in the comfort and warmth of one's own home can help ease this transition. I have been offering clients in-home euthanasia for years, and am grateful to extend this service to the community at large.

What pet parents are saying

I was and still am highly impressed with the kind, compassionate manner Dr. Kemper approached my dog and myself. She softly gained my dog, Luna's trust, and eased her into a peaceful sleep. In the three weeks after our encounter, when I think about it I feel that Dr. Kemper's supportive, thoughtful manner helped make the sad event seem reverent and meaningful.

Dr. Kemper was so kind and gentle with our family as we let our beloved dog go. She listened to our stories about her and gave us all the time we needed to say goodbye. We are so grateful that she brought peace to such a painful day.

Review by Dr. Kristin Kemper

Dr. Kemper is truly the most kind and compassionate Veterinarian I have ever met. She came to our home, met our beloved pet, helped us grieve, and provided our 22 year old kitty the most peaceful transition possible. It takes an incredible soul to do the work they do. And we are forever grateful. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience for a member of our family. She went above and beyond. Thank you Dr. Kemper, and please keep helping other families and their beloved pets as long as you can.

Review by Dr. Kristin Kemper

Jessica, with CodaPet, and Kristin, the vet, were both always emotionally supportive as we journeyed through our 4-footed family member's final uncertain days. When multiple cancer tumors are ravaging your pet's body, it's hard to know the best time to say goodbye, not wanting him to suffer yet allowing for as many of the remaining good days as possible. The right choice doesn't always feel good, but Kristin and Jessica helped make the transition as compassionate as possible. Forever thank you.

I had a very peaceful experience, Dr. Kemper was so very gentle, kind and up most respectful to me and my pet. She made the experience of “putting my dog down” in my home so serene & anxiety free for both me and my precious dog Finnley, so grateful❤️ Thank you so much Dr. Kemper

Dr. Kemper was wonderful. She was calm, loving, understanding and provided reassurance when we had to put our 18 year old cat down. It was myself, husband and two teen kids and after she confirmed Bella was gone, she quietly said goodbye and let herself out as we were all sobbing over Bella. I really appreciated her demeanor and compassion.
