Verified Veterinarian
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.

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.
Dr.Kemper is truly the best, she is very patient and calm. I had no idea what it all entailed and she explained everything before it happened. Highly recommend!
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. 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.
Dr Kemper was very kind, compassionate and patient throughout the whole process. We couldn't have picked a better vet for that difficult day.
