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
In a very difficult and heartbreaking situation we were in Dr. Laurie Noe was very understanding and compassionate towards our family and our beloved pet. She gave us the proper time to say our goodbyes to our beautiful Bella. They took good care of her in her last moments. Thank You so much Dr. Noe, our family is grateful for your compassion towards us.
At home pet euthanasia was the best choice I could have made for my little Harley. She passed peacefully without pain or fear while laying in my arms. Thank you Dr. Noe for your kindness and gentle touch.
Dr. Noe led us through this emotionally charged moment with compassion and patience. Dr. Noe helped our Sophie pass along with dignity and comfort. Sophie was in her home, in her favorite blankets, and with us by her side.
Dr. Noe was very patient and supportive during the entire process. It was a difficult experience but she made it as easy as possible. Not rushed, but as quick and painless for my boy as possible.
Being able to have this done at home was a huge relief since our dog hated going into the vet and we wanted her last moments to be as comfortable as possible for her. I'm glad Pebbles was able to be surrounded by her loved ones in the comfort of our home.
Dr Noe was extremely helpful and gentle with our pet. She kept in communication prior to our appointment, answering questions we had. She was sensitive throughout the whole process and we deeply appreciated the kindness, caring and complete professionalism.
