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.

What pet parents are saying

This was the best experience that we could have hoped for. We knew it was time to let our cat go but the thought of the stressful car ride and cold atmosphere of the vet's office was not ideal. Dr Krueger was amazing - she was gentle, compassionate and thorough. I felt very comforted by her presence and the peace that I had with my cat as I was able to hold him in his favorite blanket while he passed in a familiar place.

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.

Review by Dr. Jenny Krueger

Absolutely wonderful. She was very kind, patient and explained everything that was going to happen. We have a second dog, a pug, who barked when she first arrived and within minutes was on his back letting Dr Krueger scratch his belly. Highly recommend

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.
