Why I provide at-home pet euthanasia

Early on, I had a tremendous fascination with animals of all kinds, I found comfort and compassion from them in times of need as a child and on into adulthood. In elementary school, I would be the first to take care of the class pet. There were many: anoles (lizards), hamsters, and guinea pigs to name a few. Science classes intrigued me and were where I excelled. My anatomy class in high school sealed the deal. Ultimately, I wanted to care for animals and challenge myself to solve medical problems. Over time, it progressed to caring for not only the animal but also for their human owners. I have always offered at-home euthanasia services, having performed them for my own personal pets, and I realized the more peaceful experience for all involved. The last several years I've provided oncology (cancer) services to clients and their pets. With this comes the knowledge that even with treatment, most cancers will be terminal, and providing in-home end-of-life service to the numerous pets I treated in this capacity reinforced firsthand how beneficial in-home euthanasia is to the pet and their family when it comes time, allowing for the most gentle and tranquil passing.

Dr. Krueger communicated with us the night before our appointment to make sure we were prepared and to address any concerns. We decided that our Louise needed pre-appointment meds to calm her before a “new” person came into our home. Despite lots of drugs, Louise was an enthusiastic host and greeted the dr. with wiggles and kisses. It was very difficult to get her calmed down and feeling at ease; Louise felt the vibe and was tuned-in 100%. - This was one of the hardest parts for me, I didn’t want her to feel afraid. - Dr. Krueger was patient and used a variety of tools and techniques to administer enough sedative to proceed. She took cues from us and understood that I, my husband, and my daughter needed different things. I needed to just feel my sadness openly. My husband needed someone to hear funny little stories. My daughter needed the security of knowing that another grownup had things under control. - Dr. Krueger delivered for each of us. I am so glad that we opted for in-home euthanasia. It was personalized to meet Louise’s needs, and ours as well. I am so grateful for people like Dr. Krueger, who do a very hard thing in the name of peace and comfort.

Dr Jenny came out to our house days before Christmas and made such a difficult time for us, so calm. This was the first time my family has done an at home euthanasia and we could not have asked for a better experience. Dr Jenny was so kind and compassionate. We cannot thank her enough.

We are so grateful to Dr. Krueger for helping us through one of the hardest decisions we’ve ever had to make. From the moment she arrived at our home, her compassion, professionalism, and kindness immediately put us at ease. She patiently walked us through every step of the process, explained everything in detail, and welcomed all of our questions. She gave us as much time as we needed—both before and after—to say our final goodbyes. While our hearts are broken to let our senior pup cross the rainbow bridge, we feel incredibly blessed to have had Dr. Krueger by our side. She ensured his last moments were filled with love, peace, and plenty of treats. We couldn’t have asked for a more caring or thoughtful veterinarian during such a difficult time.

Dr. Jenny Krueger could not have been more professional/compassionate/personable. She took her time, was clear what was going to happen and as it happened. She allowed us to be very involved and informed during the entire process. She made an impossibly heartbreaking moment a peaceful and smooth transition. Thank you Dr. Krueger.

Deeply grateful for Dr. Krueger's compassion and kindness on one of the most painful days of my life. I am fortunate I was able to let my beloved cat, Dory, go in the comfort of her home and with great care from Dr. Krueger.
