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

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. 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.

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 Kemper was exceptionally kind and gentle with both our beloved dog and my family. She made sure my family knew what to expect before starting, and reminded them during. We could not have asked for a better vet and I am eternally grateful for her gift of peaceful home euthanasia, and her compassion throughout her visit. I cannot recommend her enough.

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.
