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.
Dr. Kristin was such a caring and supportive presence as we said goodbye to our sweet Kody. She was so compassionate and made the entire process so much more bearable for our broken hearts. We are so thankful and appreciative to Dr. Kristin for helping our cherished boy pass on calmly and peacefully.
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 and all of the other exceptional veterinarians at Animal Hospital of Factoria were so instrumental in our 14+ year old wheaten terrier's long and healthy and youthful life! From 8 weeks until we said goodbye to him at 739 (!) weeks, he received excellent, thorough, loving and compassionate care from Dr Kemper and her colleagues. We will always sing the praises of AHOF and recommend them so very highly for the care of your beloved pet.
Dr Kemper was very kind, compassionate and patient throughout the whole process. We couldn't have picked a better vet for that difficult day.
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.
