Dr. Stephanie Norman

I would like to thank Dr. Norman for her genuine care and concern for our Brodie O'Shea Barlow. I called her to see if she could come sooner than our scheduled appointment. Even though she was working, she said she would come as soon as she could and she did. This was the hardest thing I have ever had to do and her patience and care for our family and especially for our Brodie helped us through this traumatic experience. I can't thank her enough for her kindness. Also, Jessica, whom I talked to on the phone was caring and compassionate, as well. I hope I never have to do this again, but if I do, I would definitely call Dr. Norman. Thank you.

Dr. Norman was everything you would hope for. Compassionate, patient, transparent, accommodating, and efficient. We scheduled an evening appointment for the following day but our pup started going downhill fast overnight. Dr. Norman was able to adjust and meet us first thing in the morning.

Calling CodaPet was the best decision we could have made. I filled out the request online at 1:30 in the morning and received a text from Dr. Norman within 10 minutes. Our family felt so supported by Dr. Norman and she made the process of putting our Ginger Belle down easier than expected. I would recommend CodaPet and Dr. Norman specifically to every pet owner I know.

Dr. Norman did a fantastic job in a very sad and difficult moment that I appreciated very much. She was respectful of the situation, explained quickly what steps were involved in the process, did the deed then left quickly giving us the privacy needed to grieve.

This was the best way to go about one of the most difficult experiences. Dr. Norman was sweet and compassionate. She gently guided us through the whole process. Being able to have our beloved dog pass at home with us instead of in a vets office was a comforting aspect of an extremely difficult time. My family is very grateful for Dr. Norman

Dr. Norman was the perfect doctor to help our family on one of the toughest days we encountered. She was prompt and on time. She was understanding and took her time explaining every step of the way.

For being en extreme tough day for our family, Dr.Norman handled everything perfectly. Highly recommend.

Dr. Norman was absolutely wonderful. She was very professional and compassionate when my family needed it most and it was easy to tell that she truly cared not only for her patient but also my family. I found myself in Kenmore, WA after losing both my parents in 2023 trying to clean out their house and manage their estate. We traveled from Phoenix and brought all of our animals with us since we were going to be gone so long. Our 16 year old cat had been having kidney issues for about a year and finally it came time to help her move on to the next life. Dr. Norman came out to the house and explained the process and then took great care to ensure my family was comfortable with the decision and then proceeded to gently do what was needed to end Cassie’s pain. On top of the loss, we were set to drive back to Phoenix in less than a week and the thought of not taking Cassie home with us was not something we could bear. Dr. Norman called her contacts at the cremation facility and made a request to have the cremation and return of Cassie’s ashes expedited so we could bring her home with us to lay her to rest at our home. She delivered on her promise and we received her remains a few days before we had to leave. Cassie is now resting peacefully with her sister Nala, thanks to Dr. Norman going above and beyond to take care of everything for us and make sure that my family had the opportunity to start the grieving process and bring our beloved Cassie home with us. I can’t thank Dr. Norman enough for all she did to give my family peace in what has been a very hard year for us. Thank you again!

At the height of our family's sadness, deciding to put Brians last moments in the hands of Dr. Norman was the right one. Stephanie is a great communicator, explaining and then implementing Brians passing with kindness and empathy for all of us. Her reassuring words and gentle care with Brian made the worst of events, one we will remember as honoring his place in our lives.

We were met with such compassion and understanding from Dr. Norman. Our cat Bro wasn't recovering from an acute health event and we had to make the difficult decision. There was quick availability and it was all scheduled online, we weren't up to making phone calls and explaining our situation so this was a HUGE relief. Once we scheduled Dr. Norman reached out to us within minutes offering flexibility to her services. She was able to come sooner than scheduled when his health got worse. She talked us through all the steps and was such a calming presence. Thankful we were able to have this level of care during such a dark time.

Upon arriving to our house when it was time to say goodbye to our cat, Dr. Norman was very kind, sympathetic and explained each step of the process along the way very well. She made a scary experience feel a little less intimidating. I can safely say she made one of the worst days of my life easier. I am extremely appreciative of the work she does. I would recommend her to anybody.

Dr. Stephanie Norman came by our home as we made the extremely difficult decision to say goodbye to our beloved cat, Meow Meow. She was very patient, accommodating and understanding. She explained everything she was doing before beginning the process and did not make us feel rushed. Although it was very hard, we are glad we went through with doing the euthanasia home and that Dr. Norman was the one to be there to guide us through the transition.

With very heavy heart I made an appointment with CodaPet (the only ones who had an appointment for the next day), and after I made the appointment with Dr. Stephanie Norman, she contacted me directly to let me know she will do anything she can if my dog declines fast overnight (my girl had lung cancer), and need her to come the previous night. She was very punctual, and so compassionate. Truly a person you like the first time you see. Very sweet, attentive, and so delicate with my girl. She was so caring, and kept checking on my girl until she was gone. She let me say goodbye as long as I needed, then the wrapped her so gently like you wrap a baby and we carried her to her car. It was like my girl was not even gone. I do not have enough words to express my gratitude for the way she helped me and my baby.

It was important for me to compartmentalize my pain and sadness through the euthanasia process. I wanted to stay present and calm with my loved one until she passed. I purposely did not invite support people to the appointment. I thought I would be alone. What I found in Dr. Norman was a compassionate and generous professional who seemed to intuitively sense what I needed, and when I needed it, without knowing me at all. I am forever grateful for her stewardship.

Very little is easy about the passing of a beloved pet and family member. In our case, our beloved kitty of 20 years went downhill in a rapid fashion and Dr. Norman was able to assist in a difficult process with grace, elegance and compassion. Of everything involved, Dr. Norman was the best part, providing ease and helping with the grieving process in every step of the way. Her communication from scheduling to delivery of Cypress home was always professional and empathetic.

Dr. Norman was so patient, prepared, and responsive. And what mattered most was that she was compassionate as she managed our family's last moments with our beloved dog. Dr. Norman's clinical skills were evident, and she really did think of all the little details to ensure that everything would go smoothly. It was a tremendously emotional experience but thanks to Dr. Norman, there was zero awkwardness. Our entire family is grateful for people like her who help the rest of us get through difficult times.

I genuinely can’t imagine having gone through this experience without Dr Norman’s support and demeanor. She was incredibly respectful and compassionate , let us have space for grief, and also spoke to us through it in a way that was both informative and empathetic in a way that made me feel less dread during the entire process than I would have otherwise. Dr Norman took a very painful and slightly traumatic situation and made it feel like a funeral, celebrating the cat’s life with respect and love, vs. a clinical procedure. And yet she also explained every step of the way where my pet was along in the process. I know for certain she was not in pain during it. Thank you very much

Dr. Norman was knowledgeable, considerate, and kind. I appreciate her calm demeanor, and compassion, during a heartbreaking decision. Puppy Monster was my baby doll. I was blessed to have him 16 years, and I miss him so very much. I have battled wondering if I betrayed him, but Dr. Norman gave me the wisdom, and comfort, to be able to get through those moments. I am so grateful that she was the Dr. that came to care for my baby. Thank you for what you do Dr. Norman.

Dr. Stephanie Norman was truly a gift from God. Our sweet little 16 year old bichon, Frosty, was such a joy to our family, however, he got to the place that he was suffering and we made the difficult decision to put him down. Dr. Stephanie was so sincere in her compassion and care for the situation, even going on the floor under our daughter's desk where Frosty was lying in his bed to deliver the euthanasia. Our dog couldn't have been in better hands and we couldn't have had a more respectful transition for our pooch to his new life in Heaven. (She even lovingly brought a basket and pillows from Home Goods that she placed our dog in as she took him with her.) Thank you again for such a wonderful, peaceful way for our pooch to go home.

In home pet euthanasia, This being my first time with my own pet, I was very apprehensive about going to a traditional vet for this experience. As weird as it is to say given the circumstances, I could not have asked for more when working with Dr. Stephanie. Her ability to be compassionate, empathetic, yet still professional was amazing. She walked me through the whole process, while giving me as much time as I needed to process all that was about to happen. She was able to relieve all of the self doubt I had about coming to the decision in the first place. Having helped other family members go through this in a standard veterinary clinic, I couldn't more strongly recommend doing this at home, in the comfort and familiarity of your place. Dr. Stephanie thank you so much for making a horrible circumstance as calm, peaceful, and timely as possible.

There simply is no easy or painless way through these times when our pets look to us to be brave and strong for them. But Dr Norman made it the best it could be. I'm very thankful she was available for us and walked this thorny path with us. Thank you, Codapet Team.

Dr. Stephanie Norman was so caring and supportive. She made us comfortable with the process of having our cat (Toto) euthanized. We had him cremated and she delivered his ashes to us. She was very concerned for our surviving cat (Marvel) because had lost his lifelong relationship with his brother (littermate). She also recommended we take Marvel in as soon as possible for a health check due to his age. We took Marvel in. It hadn't quite been a year since his last vet visit. We caught a thyroid tumor early and were able to treat it early. He is doing great! We will bring him in for a follow up visit soon. Thank you Dr. Norman for helping us through a difficult time and for helping Marvel to live his longest and healthiest life possible❤️

My little demon of 16 years had stage 4 kidney disease and so I knew it was a matter of time. Unfortunately, that time came crashing down faster than I thought when I had to make a midnight run to the ER vet. The vet told me Nox should be in their hospital with his elevated kidney values, but understood (& agreed) when I talked about euthanasia. I made an appt with Dr. Stephanie Norman and had her come out yesterday. I was very emotional and anxious, but she put me at ease quickly, and walked through everything that would happen and why. She was both professional and very caring during the whole process. I could have ended things that Saturday at the ER vet, but wanted Nox to be at home feeling safe when it happened. As painful as the situation was at the time (& still is), I'm glad I went that route.
