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 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.

Review by Dr. Laurie Noe

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

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.

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 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. Home euthanasia is recommended to those parents that don't want to give their babies the added stress of a car ride and a vet office.
