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 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. Norman helped us make an incredibly difficult choice. She was patient, thoughtful and very knowledgeable. She went above and beyond, talking to me on the phone before our appointment and giving helpful advice for things to watch for and think about prior to our appointment. Her kindness and expertise were invaluable and I’ll always be grateful for giving my beloved dog a peaceful end.

Dr Norman was terrific from our first text and phone contact to arrange a time for her to come to our house. She spent a great deal of time explaining the process and getting us comfortable with all the necessary steps in what was one of the saddest days in my life. I would highly recommend Dr Norman in helping you through your pets last day.

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.
