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
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!
Dr. Norman was authentically kind and empathetic. It's such a hard thing. Dr. Norman understood my grief and made room for it even as she explained things I needed to know.
Dr Norman was terrific from our first text and phone contact to arrange a time for her to come to our house. She spent a great deal of time explaining the process and getting us comfortable with all the necessary steps in what was one of the saddest days in my life. I would highly recommend Dr Norman in helping you through your pets last day.
Dr. Norman’s kindness and experience was evident throughout every step of the process. I’m so thankful we had her to guide us through such a heartbreaking time.
It was important for me to compartmentalize my pain and sadness through the euthanasia process. I wanted to stay present and calm with my loved one until she passed. I purposely did not invite support people to the appointment. I thought I would be alone. What I found in Dr. Norman was a compassionate and generous professional who seemed to intuitively sense what I needed, and when I needed it, without knowing me at all. I am forever grateful for her stewardship.
Dr. Norman was everything our family could've hoped for to help us through this extremely difficult decision and throughout the following weeks. I cannot recommend her highly enough, she feels like family now.
