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 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.
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.
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.
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.
Dr. Kemper was amazing. She made the process so much easier to go through. Her compassion and care showed in every step and we truly appreciated all she did for our pet and for us.
