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.

Dr. Norman was wonderful, kind and compassionate. She took time to explain what would happen. She absolutely made, what was a terrible situation, tolerable and pleasant. Thank you Dr. Norman 💕

Review by Dr. Stephanie Norman

Dr. Stephanie Norman was chosen by us, and we are so grateful for the care she provided during an incredibly difficult time. Being deeply bonded to our dog made this decision heartbreaking, but after his Cushing’s disease failed to respond to treatment and his condition declined rapidly, we knew humane end-of-life care was the kindest choice. When we realized how poorly he was doing and requested an earlier appointment, Dr. Norman came a day sooner without hesitation. From the moment she arrived, it was clear we had made the right choice. She was calm, compassionate, and genuinely concerned for our dog, taking time to meet him, comfort him, and gently explain what to expect throughout the process. Our dog remained peaceful and calm, which brought us great comfort even as we grieved saying goodbye. As painful as this experience was, we cannot say enough good things about the care Dr. Norman provided, and we would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone who finds themselves in need of this service.

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.

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.

You cannot find a more compassionate and amazing person to help with your baby's passing than Dr. Norman. Unfortunately I had both my babies pass this year, and Dr. Norman was here for both. I called her on a Sunday because I was not able to book the appointment online, and she helped me get that done, even that day was her day off dedicated for her family. Both my babies were very comfortable with Dr. Norman, and they both went very peacefully. The care before, during and after is absolutely outstanding. Thank you for being here for us, Dr. Norman!
