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 kindly shepherded us through the most difficult day. It was time to let our dear, sweet little Bailey go. Dr. Noe came exactly on time, met our little doggy and explained to us how we would proceed. She allowed us to hold Bailey as she gave him a sedative. To demonstrate how calm he was she shaved a bit of hair off one paw to make a footprint. After he was very sleepy, she gave him the injection. A few moments later she announced he had earned his wings. To be able to say goodbye to our beloved doggy, at home, with his family around him, under his comfy blanket, was truly a blessing.
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.
Doctor No was very compassionate and sympathetic to the situation. She talked me through the process and was very gentle and kind. She also sent a note afterwards, expressing her sympathy on the loss of the dog. This was an unusual situation since my nephew and niece was not available during the last moments she was kind enough to take a paw print so that they would have a memory. I relayed all this to them and they were very happy with her service
It was a great experience. I was glad I didn't have to take my furry friend to a last vet appointment and we could stay cozy at home. Dr. Noe provided every accommodation and made us all feel safe. Thank you for this service and for being so available.
Putting our sweet girl down was heartbreaking but Dr. Laura Noe and Ezra made all the difference in the world. They were compassionate, gentle and caring every step of the way. They petted and greeted Sienna warmly,… like they were old friends. Sienna was happy and loved their attention & was at ease in their presence. Simply put, they were Wonderful. Thank you both for your gentleness and compassion‼️ Our girl is at peace and no longer in pain. Dr. Noe & Ezra, we are Thankful for you. More than you know 💕.
Dr. Noe and Ezra were compassionate and loving.Their approach helped make the transition for our Sammy, peaceful. They answered my boys' questions and really cared about our feelings toward transitioning our cat toward his "forever sleep." I am grateful for their assistance and guidance through the process. Dr. Noe and her assistant Ezra are caring and kind and I will recommend them to anyone needing assistance sending their pet(s) over the rainbow bridge.
