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. Norman was absolutely wonderful. She was very professional and compassionate when my family needed it most and it was easy to tell that she truly cared not only for her patient but also my family. I found myself in Kenmore, WA after losing both my parents in 2023 trying to clean out their house and manage their estate. We traveled from Phoenix and brought all of our animals with us since we were going to be gone so long. Our 16 year old cat had been having kidney issues for about a year and finally it came time to help her move on to the next life. Dr. Norman came out to the house and explained the process and then took great care to ensure my family was comfortable with the decision and then proceeded to gently do what was needed to end Cassie’s pain. On top of the loss, we were set to drive back to Phoenix in less than a week and the thought of not taking Cassie home with us was not something we could bear. Dr. Norman called her contacts at the cremation facility and made a request to have the cremation and return of Cassie’s ashes expedited so we could bring her home with us to lay her to rest at our home. She delivered on her promise and we received her remains a few days before we had to leave. Cassie is now resting peacefully with her sister Nala, thanks to Dr. Norman going above and beyond to take care of everything for us and make sure that my family had the opportunity to start the grieving process and bring our beloved Cassie home with us. I can’t thank Dr. Norman enough for all she did to give my family peace in what has been a very hard year for us. Thank you again!

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!

Review by Dr. Stephanie Norman

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.

Dr. Norman was the most kind and gentle person when she came to my home to help me say goodbye to my Sammie. I am still struggling with the loss, as is Sammie's older brother Cooper, but I can't imagine how we would be had we not had the assistance and grace given us by Dr. Norman. I plan to connect with Dr. Norman again, when it's time to shepherd Cooper over the rainbow bridge to join his forever best friend, Sammie. I can't imagine a better person to help with these kinds of hardships, and I intend to tell anyone who needs this service of my experience. Thank you, Dr. Norman, for helping my family with this difficult decision. -Rebecca Rice

I genuinely can’t imagine having gone through this experience without Dr Norman’s support and demeanor. She was incredibly respectful and compassionate , let us have space for grief, and also spoke to us through it in a way that was both informative and empathetic in a way that made me feel less dread during the entire process than I would have otherwise. Dr Norman took a very painful and slightly traumatic situation and made it feel like a funeral, celebrating the cat’s life with respect and love, vs. a clinical procedure. And yet she also explained every step of the way where my pet was along in the process. I know for certain she was not in pain during it. Thank you very much

This was the best way to go about one of the most difficult experiences. Dr. Norman was sweet and compassionate. She gently guided us through the whole process. Being able to have our beloved dog pass at home with us instead of in a vets office was a comforting aspect of an extremely difficult time. My family is very grateful for Dr. Norman
