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 a very difficult decision for our family, but Dr. Krueger treated our dog with such compassion. As painful as it was, the entire process was peaceful.
She was approachable and empathetic, addressing all our questions and concerns. She went above and beyond what was expected in her role.
Dr. Krueger arrived at our home with so much compassion and gentleness to our family and made our sweet Louie relaxed and feeling calmness and love. She explained everything so well and gave us the time we needed to process each step and to let him go over the rainbow in a very peaceful way. We highly recommend Jenny and having this process in the comfort in your home with your family together in a setting of love and warmth.
Dr. Krueger was incredibly kind and gentle with not only Kona but with me. She ensured I was thoroughly informed of each step of the process and gave me ample time at each phase to be with Kona. I am incredibly thankful for her kindness and patience, and could not have asked for a more peaceful way to say goodbye.
We are so pleased with the experience. Dr. Jenny Krueger was fabulous. She was incredibly kind and explained every thing throughout the process and she treated our dog with such tenderness and care. We appreciate Dr. Krueger’s patience and understanding. Thank you so much for making the transition so peaceful and gentle for our pet and also for me and my husband. 💕
This service proved to be such a blessing. The only time our cat was in our car was when she was going to the vet. We knew it would stress her unnecessarily. Dr. Krueger was so kind, patient and efficient. She listened as we told our cat stories. We laughed and we cried, and when we were ready, our Cozy was allowed to gently drift away. I highly recommend at home euthanasia.
