Why I provide at-home pet euthanasia

My desire to be a veterinarian dates back to my kindergarten days when I took care of orphaned wildlife. That love for animals has been unwavering ever since. I have even volunteered my veterinary services in international and national aid efforts to improve the lives of animals, people and the communities in which they live. One of those services is providing support for pets and their parents during end-of-life decisions. With my extensive experience, genuine concern for animals and their parents, and an unwavering commitment to providing the best veterinary care, you can trust that beloved pets will receive the utmost compassion and expertise under my care. Through offering in-home euthanasia, I will help ease the transition for both pets and their parents.

What pet parents are saying

Dr. Norman was so kind, gentle and comforting to my dog, Dexter, and me. She did not rush, she explained every step of the process and made me feel safe and supported during the entire procedure. I cannot tell you how much I appreciate her. She is amazing and I can only hope that everyone receives the level of care that Dexter and I received.

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.

Dr. Stephanie Norman was chosen by us, and we are so grateful for the care she provided during an incredibly difficult time. Being deeply bonded to our dog made this decision heartbreaking, but after his Cushing’s disease failed to respond to treatment and his condition declined rapidly, we knew humane end-of-life care was the kindest choice. When we realized how poorly he was doing and requested an earlier appointment, Dr. Norman came a day sooner without hesitation. From the moment she arrived, it was clear we had made the right choice. She was calm, compassionate, and genuinely concerned for our dog, taking time to meet him, comfort him, and gently explain what to expect throughout the process. Our dog remained peaceful and calm, which brought us great comfort even as we grieved saying goodbye. As painful as this experience was, we cannot say enough good things about the care Dr. Norman provided, and we would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone who finds themselves in need of this service.

Review by Dr. Stephanie Norman

Dr. Stephanie Norman was an angel whose calm and gentle spirit was so appreciated in helping us through the super hard experience of saying goodbye to our dog. It was very obvious that this isn’t just a job to her, and that she genuinely cares about you and your pet. She was so kind, patient, empathetic and considerate. She explained everything to us, and wasn’t rushing us at all. Everything was done with the utmost respect and care. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone.

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.

Dr Norman was so wonderful throughout the whole process. Lots of empathy and support for me, for my dog, and for our surviving pet. She was so kind and I would recommend a home visit for such events in the future. My dog passed away in his home with the people he loved, not more that I can ask for.
