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
It's such a hard and difficult decision to make, but I am so thankful that there are people who are willing to do this service. Our 13.5-year-old dog Layla was at the end of her battle with cancer and let us know it was time. After booking our appointment, she was having a rough night, and I was easily able to contact Dr. Kemper and change the time from the afternoon to the morning. She was very compassionate, explained all the steps and answered any questions. Layla passed very peacefully, and our cats were able to say goodbye as well.
We are so happy Dr. Kristin Kemper was the vet to help our sweet cat go to sleep. She was so understanding, compassionate, gentle, and patient during her visit. Thank you Kristin for doing what you do.
Dr. Kristin was so kind and passionate with Titan and my family. It was such a hard decision to let our beloved family member Titan go, but Dr. Kristin made sure we knew it was the best decision we could make so Titan was not suffering any longer. He lived a long life, almost 14 years for a 100 pound lab/terrier mix. I don’t think I could’ve made a better decision then calling Dr. Kristin.
Dr Kemper was amazing. She was very kind and supportive and talked us through the entire process. It was such a hard day that I’ll never forget, but I’m so grateful to be able to have my sweet boy be able to have his final moments at home with his family. Thank you Dr Kemper for helping us though such a hard transition.
Dr. Kristin Kemper was great during MJ's transition. Her bedside manner was very professional and empathetic, making the entire situation easier for us. MJ went peacefully, without pain.
Dr. Kemper was my dog's vet for about a year, and I feel that she actually knew my dog and treated him with the upmost care and concern. At almost 14 years old, and after having my pup with me for 11-1/2 years, he started to show signs of aging, and developed symptoms which indicated something more than age. Dr. Kemper spent all the time I needed with her to find out what was wrong. When it became evident that my boy was suffering, we decided that we didn't want him to suffer any more. She helped me to peacefully and painlessly let him go, and I will always be grateful to her for her knowledge and compassion.
