Verified Veterinarian
My lifelong passion for and commitment to family, animals, and humane treatment of all beings led to my career in veterinary medicine, which I am incredibly grateful for. Veterinary medicine is my calling. Upon proudly and humbly obtaining a veterinary medical degree, I served primarily in agricultural animal practice, specifically moving into advanced progressive equine podiatry practice. In addition but separate to this specialized practice, over the years, countless clients have sought my assistance with end-of-life care for both companion and agricultural animals, which allowed me to realize one of the greatest gifts veterinarians can give is to help animals experience as stress-free, compassionate and pain-free death as possible, and help people be at ease with their decision. In doing so, I have developed a profound appreciation for the honor of serving clients and patients in this capacity and I am now also offering this end-of-life focused care.

Dr Alicia is an amazing person and a veterinarian, she helped us to overcome the most difficult time- a loss of our beloved cat , she said the right words and did everything to make our fur baby transition peaceful, thoughtful and kind. We will be grateful forever ❤️
Dr Alicia nolfi is an angel. She is a selfless, humble, knowledgeable, amazing doctor. All of her knowledge and experience made this transition effortlessly to understand what was going on at all times and made it an absolutely amazing experience overall. Dr Nolfi. Is amazing. I would recommend any of her services to anybody in need.
Dr. Nolfi was so incredibly compassionate and supportive. My family felt that we were being guided by an expert hand. She was sensitive to our feelings and desires, made absolutely sure my dog was comfortable and not stressed, and turned an otherwise devastating event into an experience that made me realize that euthanasia of our pets is really the best thing we can give them at the end of their lives. But more than that, I now believe that an in-home pet euthanasia is the best way to do it. In addition to the honorable and compassionate way Dr. Nolfi guided the process, she also said some things that completely shifted my perspective away from grief and sadness. She helped me understand her belief that animals don’t necessarily see death as tragic or sad, but that they see it as an expected part of the journey of life. This, and the absolute assurance that my dog was comfortable, calm, and unaware of anything wrong, has helped me deal with the grief in a much more positive way. Dr. Nolfi joined us in our tears after learning about my dog and his life, which showed me that she not only cares deeply for her patients (human and animal), but that her work in making the process as comfortable as possible is deeply personal. She was also kind enough to give my family some space when the procedure was finished, but honestly I would have been happy if she had stayed; that is how comfortable we all felt with her. If you need an absolute expert, a compassionate and caring vet, and someone who considers this tragic work important enough to dedicate herself to it full-time, please use Dr. Nolfi for your next in-home pet euthanasia. She is unequivocally the best.
Dr Nolfi was incredibly kind, compassionate and skilled. We all felt comfortable in her presence, even as we were saying goodbye to our beloved pet.
Dr. Alicia was incredibly compassionate, supportive, intuitive, gentle, informative, and like an extension of our family during the process of need ing to say goodbye to our almost 17 year old dog. I highly recommend her. We are so grateful that she was able to assist our dog out of pain and suffering and help her soul be free again.
Dr. Nolfi is truly phenomenal! We have never had to say goodbye to a pet in our own home but her compassion and professionalism made it as bearable as possible. She was incredibly kind to us and let us take the time we needed to say goodbye and process it all. The way she honored his passing was a beautiful experience. When the time comes again in the future, I hope we can leverage her guidance. Thank you Dr. Nolfi for being so great at what you do
