Our Mission
We believe every pet deserves a peaceful, dignified farewell surrounded by the people who love them most. Our mission is to support families through this difficult time with empathy, respect, and expert veterinary care.
Meet Dr. Kelli Bays
Dr. Kelli Bays, DVM, MPH, founded Closing Chapter alongside her husband, Nathan Bays, Ph.D., after many years in
general veterinary practice. Her calling is to help pets and their families find comfort, peace, and
understanding in their final moments together.
The inspiration for this practice came after the loss of her beloved Welsh terrier, Albus. While his passing was
heartbreaking, helping him go peacefully at home reaffirmed her commitment to providing that same care for
others in Albuquerque.
Dr. Kelli and her husband live in Albuquerque with their miniature schnauzer, Aegon. In their free time, they
enjoy
hiking and birdwatching throughout New Mexico.
