Why I provide at-home pet euthanasia

From the time I could pronounce the word, I wanted to be a veterinarian (around 5 years old) and I never wavered from that goal. I have been a veterinarian for over 35 years and still love every minute of my profession. I never felt being a veterinarian was a career choice, but rather a calling. I have strived to provide the best care possible for my patients, with special attention to reducing their pain and suffering. To this end, I have many years providing home euthanasia for family pets. I have always felt profoundly honored to be chosen by a family to help their beloved pet pass from their suffering to a place where they are free. To do so in the comfort of their own home (or other special place) is so much more dignified and intimate for the patient and their family.

What pet parents are saying

Dr. Noe helped put our 20 year old cat to rest. When we put our two other pets to sleep they were awful experiences due to the veterinary offices and their actions. Our cat and dog were mishandled and panicked. She explained the process well, made us feel comfortable during an awful time and made Smokie comfortable until her last breath. She also made some paw prints for us and put her in a blanket in a basket on her way out so we knew our cat was in good hands. Home euthanasia is highly recommended to those parents that don't want to give their babies the added stress of a car ride and a vet office. The price was very reasonable compared to going to the vet the last time we put down our loved one.

As a vet I understand how difficult and awkward euthanasias can be for the vet and staff, but the Dr. made several off color jokes during the process and failed to read the room. My husband and I were suffering immensely and she was joking/loudly talking with our dogs. She was very kind and I know if she was told about this she would be more cognizant in the future.

Review by Dr. Laurie Noe

During a really difficult time Dr. Noe was able to validate our family decision four our deeply beloved cat Spike to cross the rainbow. She was compassionate and empathetic. I would call again if we are in a place to do so.

Dr. Noe gave me so much peace about the decision to euthanize my cat. She confirmed what our normal vet told us that our cat's condition was bad and that it was a good time to put her down. She was so comforting and I'm so happy I chose to do an at-home euthanasia.

Dr. Noe made a hard experience much easier with her empathy and professionalism. She helped our children feel included and created a peaceful environment for us to say goodbye to our sweet kitty.

My appointment was on a Wednesday but my pets health was declining fast. Dr Noe reached out to me while on vacation to let me know she would come on Monday instead. Dr Noe is so compassionate and caring. I will never forget what she did for us. Curtis and Wende Gross
