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
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.
Dr. Stephanie Norman came by our home as we made the extremely difficult decision to say goodbye to our beloved cat, Meow Meow. She was very patient, accommodating and understanding. She explained everything she was doing before beginning the process and did not make us feel rushed. Although it was very hard, we are glad we went through with doing the euthanasia home and that Dr. Norman was the one to be there to guide us through the transition.
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.
Putting down my 16 year old dog was not an easy choice. He was my OG dog and just a chill buddy. Dr. Stephanie took her time and made sure I knew the process and didn’t rush me into anything. She is super compassionate and I’m glad she offers this service in the privacy of my own home.
Dr. Norman explained process clearly, was empathetic, and respectful. Treated our Buddy and the whole family with much appreciated excellent care.
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.
