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
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
Dr. Noe was caring and gentle with our Frenchie. This was our first time having a pet euthanized at home. She was sensitive and compassionate. I would highly recommend her for your fur baby.
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.
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.
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 so kind and supportive to our family when our sweet cat was so ill that he needed to be euthanized. I would highly recommend her compassionate services.
