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.

Review by Dr. Stephanie Norman

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 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, and considerate. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone.

Review by Dr. Stephanie Norman

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.

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. Stephanie Norman was truly a gift from God. Our sweet little 16 year old bichon, Frosty, was such a joy to our family, however, he got to the place that he was suffering and we made the difficult decision to put him down. Dr. Stephanie was so sincere in her compassion and care for the situation, even going on the floor under our daughter's desk where Frosty was lying in his bed to deliver the euthanasia. Our dog couldn't have been in better hands and we couldn't have had a more respectful transition for our pooch to his new life in Heaven. (She even lovingly brought a basket and pillows from Home Goods that she placed our dog in as she took him with her.) Thank you again for such a wonderful, peaceful way for our pooch to go home.
