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.

Dr Kemper was very kind, compassionate and patient throughout the whole process. We couldn't have picked a better vet for that difficult day.

Review by Dr. Kristin Kemper

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 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.
