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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
