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

We can't say enough good things about Dr. Noe. She made a very hard experience easier with her kindness and empathy. She explained what was happening in such a beautiful way to our children and helped them create keepsake memories. She was quick to respond to my same day request, kept in communication, and made the whole process seamless which was greatly appreciated.

Dr. Noe was absolutely a shining light in our families dark moment. She walked us through the process and made it easier to say goodbye to our best boy. Thank you Dr. Noe, you are an angel on earth.

We would like to thank Dr. Noe for her generous support and kindness helping us take care of our sweet boy Cosmo. Cosmo took a sudden turn for the worse at not quite 18 years old and we were faced with making a decision we knew was best for him, even though our hearts were breaking. Dr. Noe was able to arrange her schedule very quickly and confirmed a time for us. When she arrived, she confirmed Cosmo's condition was as we thought, making it comforting to us we were making the right choice for him. She was so gentle and made sure he was comfortable and gave us time to spend with him before and after he passed. We will be forever grateful to her.

Review by Dr. Laurie Noe

I thought Dr Noe was professional but a I also felt rushed in a way. Once Onyx had passed she had almost left hurriedly out the door, not allowing me ample time with Onyx. But I did express I do want more time before she leaves. She was understanding and left to her car to take her medical bags and came back. I helped her to her car and she gave me more time at her car.

Dr. Noe was fantastic. It was time for our 15 year old dog to pass on and Dr. Noe had a great bedside manner, especially with our kids who had never lost a pet before. Very kind, thoughtful, and professional. Thanks, Dr. Noe!

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.
