Bringing dignity, love, and peace to Southwest pets and their families.

About Closing Chapter Home Pet Euthanasia

Closing Chapter Home Pet Euthanasia is dedicated to providing compassionate, in-home end-of-life care for beloved pets and their families in Albuquerque and surrounding areas.

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.
