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. Stephanie Norman was so caring and supportive. She made us comfortable with the process of having our cat (Toto) euthanized. We had him cremated and she delivered his ashes to us. She was very concerned for our surviving cat (Marvel) because had lost his lifelong relationship with his brother (littermate). She also recommended we take Marvel in as soon as possible for a health check due to his age. We took Marvel in. It hadn't quite been a year since his last vet visit. We caught a thyroid tumor early and were able to treat it early. He is doing great! We will bring him in for a follow up visit soon. Thank you Dr. Norman for helping us through a difficult time and for helping Marvel to live his longest and healthiest life possible❤️
Dr. Stephanie Norman is a gentle, compassionate, and deeply empathetic veterinarian who provided exceptional care for our pet in his time of need. She was incredibly accommodating and ensured that his passing was peaceful and filled with kindness. We are so grateful for her warmth and professionalism during such a difficult time.
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.
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. 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.
Upon arriving to our house when we decided to say goodbye to our cat, Dr. Norman was very kind, sympathetic and did a great job explaining the process and each step along the way. She made one of the worse days of my life much easier. I would recommend her to anybody.
