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 Laurie Noe and her assistant were absolutely amazing with Dusty and the 2 humans. I have great respect for both of them with their patience and love for the 4 legged fur babies. I would and will recommend them to handle the final act of kindness with someone’s pet.
Dr. Noe was so kind and supportive to our family when our sweet cat was so ill that he needed to be euthanized. I would highly recommend her compassionate services.
Dr. Noe kindly shepherded us through the most difficult day. It was time to let our dear, sweet little Bailey go. Dr. Noe came exactly on time, met our little doggy and explained to us how we would proceed. She allowed us to hold Bailey as she gave him a sedative. To demonstrate how calm he was she shaved a bit of hair off one paw to make a footprint. After he was very sleepy, she gave him the injection. A few moments later she announced he had earned his wings. To be able to say goodbye to our beloved doggy, at home, with his family around him, under his comfy blanket, was truly a blessing.
As my family liked to describe Dr. Laurie & her assistant, they were like angels. The way they both made my family feel comfortable & prepare for our handsome Limbo to go to Dog heaven, made this experience worth it. My family appreciate her so much for being patience w/ us & showing so much care & love within the process. We’re thankful that you were able to be available even at night time, which made it possible for more of my family to be available to come through. Thank you again Dr. Laurie! Especially for everything you’ve done for our dear Limbo!
Dr. Noe was absolutely a shining light in our families dark moment. She walked us through the process and made it easier to say goodbye to our best boy. Thank you Dr. Noe, you are an angel on earth.
