Verified Veterinarian
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.

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 Kristen was so kind and gentle. Our Nova loved her immediately and felt at ease with her which made all of us feel so much better. She put us at ease and made the whole experience so much better.
Dr. Kemper was amazingly compassionate, punctual, and provided a much-needed calm presence in my 15yo cat’s end of life care. She seemed to understand how our pets are like family. I would highly recommend her if you are in the same unfortunate position with a furry loved one.
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.
On Sunday we made the appointment for Friday. Monday/Tuesday we noticed Tinkerbelle's condition seemed to be declining and asked Dr. Kemper if she could come sooner. She found (made) time on Wednesday for an earlier appointment and we really appreciated that. We liked her friendly professional approach, explaining the process and options in the details of how and where to perform the euthanasia. We think she carefully relieved any pain that Tinkerbelle had and gently put her to sleep. We liked that she wrapped Tinkerbelle up in a basket with her head exposed for final viewing and goodbye. Seem that our other cat misses Tinkerbelle too. Thank you.
Dr. Kristin Kemper was simply amazing . She was so kind and compassionate. She guided us through the process even brought a bag of treats which he loved . Our dog passed away peacefully for which I was so grateful
