Dr. Katie Simpson
Verified Veterinarian
Why I provide at-home pet euthanasia
I became a vet partly because I grew up on a ranch with a variety of animals and loved being able to help take care of them. I have wanted to be in this profession since I was five years old. I love spending time with my partner, pets, friends, and visiting all of the beautiful places in this world...especially in Colorado! Also love trail running and scuba diving.

What pet parents are saying
Dr. Simpson was so wonderful when I needed to put my dog down. She didn't rush me, she reassured me about the decision and gave me time alone once he passed. She was so gentle and caring with him, but also with me. I could not have had a better experience than being at home where he is comfortable, and with Dr. Katie there to support.
No one what’s to call Dr Katie but if you have to put your pet down, Dr Katie is the one to call. We had to say goodbye to our loving Bouvier Norman. Dr Katie handled this sad task with love and compassion for Norman as well as us. She was patient and kind and Norman passed peacefully with his head on my lap.
Oh my goodness!! Words cannot express! She was so sweet and considerate and said all the right things at the right time!! Absolutely loved her every second! She loved on our sweet pup and loved on us! Ah-Maze-Ing!!!! Highly recommend this amazing person for anyone going through this tough time!
Dr. Katie was amazing I am so grateful to have had her there in Cortana's final moments. She listened to, and felt the emotions with us of the stories we shared with her.
Dr. Katie was fantastic in a tough time for our family. She was caring, gentle, and comforting to both our dog Emmie and us. She did a great job making Emmie feel secure and at ease with her kindness. We thank her for providing such high level of care, and highly recommend her and her services.
There is nothing easy about letting our furry family members pass over the rainbow bridge, but our experience with Dr. Katie Simpson was the best we could imagine. She communicated with us in the days and hours before she arrived to administer at home euthanasia, so we knew what to expect. She was extraordinarily kind and patient as we went through our last minute doubts and did not rush us to a decision. Her bedside manner was gentle and we are very grateful for her skills and helping us give our beloved dog a serene passing.
