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. Kemper was so kind, compassionate and gentle as we said goodbye to our Cookie. She explained the process completely and reassured us our pup was comfortable and pain free throughout. Cookie was able to peacefully cross over in her favorite spot in the front yard and we avoided the fear and trauma she would have experienced from a last trip to the vet. I can't speak highly enough of in-home euthanasia and Dr. Kemper specifically. I'll definitely choose this again the next time we have to say goodbye to a fur-baby.

Dr. Kemper was wonderful. She was calm, loving, understanding and provided reassurance when we had to put our 18 year old cat down. It was myself, husband and two teen kids and after she confirmed Bella was gone, she quietly said goodbye and let herself out as we were all sobbing over Bella. I really appreciated her demeanor and compassion.

We thank Dr Kemper from our hearts for coming to our house to release Pantera from end stage kidney disease. She was so compassionate and caring, told us exactly what to expect from each step. The procedure was fast and Pantera did not feel any pain. We still are in mourning, BUT we know we did the right thing for our sweet lil kitty and companion of 20 years. Thank you, Dr Kemper. You are a bright Light.

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.

Review by Dr. Kristin Kemper

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.
