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
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
Dr. Norman did a fantastic job in a very sad and difficult moment that I appreciated very much. She was respectful of the situation, explained quickly what steps were involved in the process, did the deed then left quickly giving us the privacy needed to grieve.
At the height of our family's sadness, deciding to put Brians last moments in the hands of Dr. Norman was the right one. Stephanie is a great communicator, explaining and then implementing Brians passing with kindness and empathy for all of us. Her reassuring words and gentle care with Brian made the worst of events, one we will remember as honoring his place in our lives.
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.
Dr. Norman was the perfect doctor to help our family on one of the toughest days we encountered. She was prompt and on time. She was understanding and took her time explaining every step of the way. She ensured our pup was comfortable and never in pain. From the beginning to the end where we received our pups ashes back, Dr. Norman remained a professional. For being en extreme tough day for our family, Dr.Norman handled everything perfectly. Highly recommend.
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.
