Why I provide at-home pet euthanasia

From the time I could pronounce the word, I wanted to be a veterinarian (around 5 years old) and I never wavered from that goal. I have been a veterinarian for over 35 years and still love every minute of my profession. I never felt being a veterinarian was a career choice, but rather a calling. I have strived to provide the best care possible for my patients, with special attention to reducing their pain and suffering. To this end, I have many years providing home euthanasia for family pets. I have always felt profoundly honored to be chosen by a family to help their beloved pet pass from their suffering to a place where they are free. To do so in the comfort of their own home (or other special place) is so much more dignified and intimate for the patient and their family.

What pet parents are saying

Dr. Noe and Ezra were compassionate and loving.Their approach helped make the transition for our Sammy, peaceful. They answered my boys' questions and really cared about our feelings toward transitioning our cat toward his "forever sleep." I am grateful for their assistance and guidance through the process. Dr. Noe and her assistant Ezra are caring and kind and I will recommend them to anyone needing assistance sending their pet(s) over the rainbow bridge.

Dr. Noe was fantastic. It was time for our 15 year old dog to pass on and Dr. Noe had a great bedside manner, especially with our kids who had never lost a pet before. Very kind, thoughtful, and professional. Thanks, Dr. Noe!

In the context of grieving that had already started before Dr. Laurie Noe's arrival, she proactively offered contact for questions, and she confirmed and sent reminders for the appointment date/time, and arrival. We were grateful that she was available to come with one day's notice for a Sunday appointment. Dr. Noe arrived with her very kind assistant, Ezra, and she gently explained everything. With Dr. Noe's guidance, the process of sending our beloved Mulan to doggie heaven was incredibly smooth, patient, empathetic, and comforting. We remain very appreciative of Dr. Noe's and Ezra's gentle efficiency and kindness.

Review by Dr. Laurie Noe

Putting our sweet girl down was heartbreaking but Dr. Laura Noe and Ezra made all the difference in the world. They were compassionate, gentle and caring every step of the way. They petted and greeted Sienna warmly,… like they were old friends. Sienna was happy and loved their attention & was at ease in their presence. Simply put, they were Wonderful. Thank you both for your gentleness and compassion‼️ Our girl is at peace and no longer in pain. Dr. Noe & Ezra, we are Thankful for you. More than you know 💕.

Dr. Noe gave me so much peace about the decision to euthanize my cat. She confirmed what our normal vet told us that our cat's condition was bad and that it was a good time to put her down. She was so comforting and I'm so happy I chose to do an at-home euthanasia.
