Kara McClure, DVM, Certified Hospice and Palliative Care Veterinarian

​

Losing a beloved pet can be one of life's most heartbreaking experiences. When your furry friend faces a terminal illness or declining health, the journey ahead can feel overwhelming. It's during these difficult times that I'm honored to provide compassionate care and support.

​

With a Doctorate in Veterinary Medicine from Michigan State University and over 21 years of experience, I've dedicated my career to helping pets live their best lives, even at the end. My passion lies in providing gentle, peaceful end-of-life care.  In 2019, I founded Heavenly Paws House Calls with Dr. Kiva, helping pets and their families say goodbye in the home with dignity and love.

​

When I'm not caring for pets, I cherish quality time with my family. I enjoy biking, running, and simply being present with my husband, children, and our menagerie of animals. I find solace in my relationship with Jesus, and I'm grateful for the opportunity to bring his peace to both pets and their families.

But ask the animals, and they will teach you,

or the birds in the sky, and they will tell you;

or speak to the earth, and it will teach you,

or let the fish in the sea inform you.

Which of all these does not know

that the hand of the Lord has done this?

In his hand is the life of every creature

and the breath of all mankind.

Job 12:7-10
