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.

Review by Dr. Stephanie Norman

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.

On what was one of the most difficult of days, Stephanie offered a calm compassionate presence. I chose to put my 19 year old Cat down as she was showing all the signs of an immenent departure - and I did not want her last hours to be painful. When Stephanie arrived she offered as brief consult to help me sort through if this was the right time. After I reviewed what was going on with her, and made peace to move forward, she identified possible scenarios of how my Cat would react. She held space for me to say goodbye. She took great care in how she administered the different medications -- and I am grateful that my cat passed quickly, quietly and peacefully. The memory of that day is so deeply painful. But I am grateful for Stephanie's kindness and empathy - and my positive experience with her makes the memory less painful. On a procedural note - she gives an oral sedative before a shot sedative. This ensured my cat never experienced pain or discomfort. I've read some accounts of animals reacting very badly to the shot sedative, so I am grateful my cat did not have to experience this in her last moments.

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.

I’m very glad that we had Dr. Norman to help us say farewell to our pup. From the beginning she was very warm, communicative, and thoughtful. She made sure that we understand the process and let us know what to expect every step of the way. She really made the whole difficult process much easier to handle.
