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
Letting a beloved pet go is always a tough decision and one that isn't made lightly. I had scheduled an appointment with Dr. Kemper for late Thursday afternoon. That morning, my dog went out to go potty, came in, laid down and never got up. He told me it was his time and I was thankful a vet was scheduled for that afternoon. Dr. Kemper was kind gracious and understanding. I had never done an in home euthanasia before but I am so thankful I did. My dog had a very peaceful passing in the comfort of his own home with me close to him. There was no fear or trepidation on his part. I highly recommend Dr. Kemper if there is a need.
Dr. Kemper has an extremely kind, gentle, and empathetic approach. Her nature and demeanor made all the difference during this difficult experience.
Dr. Kemper came to my residence to put my beloved dog, Nolan, to sleep. She was both compassionate and professional. Most importantly, she was very kind to Nolan.
Dr. Kemper provided end of life care for my 14 year old dog. Those decisions are never easy, but Dr. Kemper was so kind to my girl and understanding of our pain.
Kristin Kemper was Ollie's vet for so many years and a big reason why he lived a healthy youthful long life! He always felt very at ease in her care. Having Kristin preside over Ollie's passing was a huge gift to him and to our family. It gave us a lot of peace saying goodbye to our Ollieboy at home in his favorite place, surrounded by his favorite people. He left so gently. We so appreciate Kristin's gentle and compassionate spirit, and of course the excellent care she gave Ollie throughout his long life. 💙
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.
