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. Stephanie was so compassionate during a very sad time in our lives. She made sure a cat was comfortable during the whole procedure, and that we were also doing ok. She listened to our stories remembering our cat. Our experience was as good as it can be. I highly recommend Dr. Stephanie.
Dr Norman was a very compassionate doctor. When she arrived, she answered all my questions and made the process as easy as it could have been. I'm thankful that I was able to do it at home.
In home pet euthanasia, This being my first time with my own pet, I was very apprehensive about going to a traditional vet for this experience. As weird as it is to say given the circumstances, I could not have asked for more when working with Dr. Stephanie. Her ability to be compassionate, empathetic, yet still professional was amazing. She walked me through the whole process, while giving me as much time as I needed to process all that was about to happen. She was able to relieve all of the self doubt I had about coming to the decision in the first place. Having helped other family members go through this in a standard veterinary clinic, I couldn't more strongly recommend doing this at home, in the comfort and familiarity of your place. Dr. Stephanie thank you so much for making a horrible circumstance as calm, peaceful, and timely as possible.
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 awesome. Ultra professional and efficient while expressing genuine compassion and empathy that allowed our family to grieve and experience this exceptionally difficult time as peacefully and easily as possible. I would definitively recommend Dr Norman to anyone.
