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

Thank you Dr. Laurie Noe for making Little's last moment with us peaceful. It's our first time losing our fur baby, we weren't sure if we were making the right decision or even what to do for our Little. Dr. Noe made us feel comfortable throughout the process while getting all the necessary steps done. Also gave us extra time saying last goodbye.

Review by Dr. Laurie Noe

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 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!

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.

In the context of grieving that had already started before Dr. Laurie Noe's arrival, she proactively offered contact for questions, and she confirmed and sent reminders for the appointment date/time, and arrival. We were grateful that she was available to come with one day's notice for a Sunday appointment. Dr. Noe arrived with her very kind assistant, Ezra, and she gently explained everything. With Dr. Noe's guidance, the process of sending our beloved Mulan to doggie heaven was incredibly smooth, patient, empathetic, and comforting. We remain very appreciative of Dr. Noe's and Ezra's gentle efficiency and kindness.

Review by Dr. Laurie Noe

Dr. Noe had a very calm and kind disposition. She understood our grief and helped us feel comfortable while saying goodbye to our 16 year old dog. Euthanasia at home was absolutely the best gift we gave our dog - she was able to peacefully pass while being with family, in her own bed, in her own loving home, and even with our cat staying close by. Our dog had no stress during the process whatsoever, just relief. Thank you Dr. Noe.
