Why I provide at-home pet euthanasia

Growing up I was surrounded by animals and the industries involved in helping animals lead good lives and remain healthy. When I am with animals, I am happy. I have always had a calling to care for things. It is what drives me. It is what makes me feel like I am doing something good in the world.

What pet parents are saying

The most compassionate experience. Our boy didn't like the vet, or a leash, so having Dr. Klepper come to us so he could stay in his yard was definitely what my soul needed to say goodbye. Thank you, Dr. K. I cannot express our gratitude for the peaceful passing.

Dr. Klepper was very compassionate and professional. She did not rush the process and let us have as much time with Ariel as we needed/wanted. I am grateful that she provides this service and appreciate that she does it well.

Dr. Klepper made the experience of losing our dog Bella so peaceful. She has the most relaxing demeanor and talked us through each step. She explained things thoroughly and really put our minds at ease that it was the right thing to do.

Review by Dr. Caitlin Klepper

Dr. Keeper was gentle with my sweet boy. She was very sensitive to mine and my husband’s needs. Even if she wasn’t, made me feel that she was. Steps were explained. I was very grateful that CodaPet is available in our area. Highly recommend.

Dr. Klepper was professional and understanding. She was able to make a difficult situation bearable. She gave us the time to say goodbye to our 20 year old cat.

Review by Dr. Caitlin Klepper

Dr. Klepper was patient, kind, and professional. She kept me informed, was respectful, and communicated with me frequently between when I first contacted her and when she arrived. It was a devastating day, and Dr. Klepper helped me navigate a very difficult decision.
