Dr. Stephanie Norman
Verified Veterinarian
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 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.
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.
CodaPet and Dr. Stephanie Norman were instrumental in making the peaceful passing of my sweet Sammie an experience I could manage. When Dr. Norman arrived, she allowed Sammie and me the space to get situated for what was to happen in a time that worked for us. Dr. Norman was kind, ever so gentle, inquisitive about my sweet baby boy, and made me feel at ease with this difficult decision. Sammie was carried across the rainbow bridge gently and with such care, and I couldn't have imagined a better experience. I plan to call CodaPet and Dr. Norman again when I have to say goodbye to Sammie's older brother, as I know the experience will be a gentle and gracious one.
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.
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.
It's difficult to find the right words to review a mobile euthanasia service but, here we are.. This was not our first time losing a pet and it unfortunately won't be our last. However, it was our first time using a mobile vet and I'm never going back. It was so much less stressful for my dog and honestly for us as well. Dr Stephanie was respectful, caring, and calm. She talked with us through the hard moments and had the gentleness and compassion of a saint. Saying goodbye is so hard but it's easier for your pet when you can do it from the comfort of your own home.
