Why I provide at-home pet euthanasia

I have always had a strong love for animals, combined with a fascination for science and problem solving I knew becoming a Veterinarian was my calling. After serving countless pets over the years, my professional interest has evolved into a desire to provide a source of help in the times most pets and their owners need it the most. I strive to provide the most compassionate, peaceful, and stress-free experience possible. Having seen way too many pets suffer or experience stress in their last moments, my goal is to help provide relief while ensuring your pet experiences the utmost love and comfort as they pass in the comfort of their own home.

What pet parents are saying

Christina was absolutely wonderful, caring , compassionate- I could go on and on. She walked us thru everything, made sure we understood what was to happen and answered any and all questions. One of the best decisions we’ve made to have this happen in the comfort of our home for our special boy!

We can’t say enough about the compassion Dr Vernon showed our girl, Aja. She made a very difficult and sensitive situation much easier to handle for us and our fur baby. Although this wasn’t the first time experiencing this, she explained everything to us and gave us plenty of time to say our good byes.

Dr Vernon was incredible. Her compassion and patience while we went through our loss has been exceptional. It’s not an easy thing to go through and she was with us from the start and checked up on us after, even providing coloring books for our kids to help cope with their loss. She immediately reaching out to provide our sweet girl’s remains. She made a heart wrenching experience beautiful. Thank you!

Review by Dr. Christina Vernon

Christina was amazing to say the least. She began by sitting down with Tazz and offering her treats to break Tazz’s nervousness with a stranger in her room. Christiana not only comforted Tazz, but us as well with her caring demeanor. She spoke softly and spent time with us …no hurry . Afterwards she wrapped Tazz in a blanket and carried her to her suv which had a nice bed to put her in. About a week later Christina personally brought Tess’s ashes to us. She also followed up with a very nice card. I would highly recommend her services if you looking for a top notch professional to handle your loved ones final minutes…thank you from the bottom of our hearts 💕

Christina was so good with Febe.. I could not have asked for a more compassionate person to take care of her. She became a friend to Febe and showed her love. I appreciate the love that Christina has for my girl.

Christina made the experience of transitioning our little maltipoo Joey over the rainbow bridge as easy as possible. We cannot thank her enough for her compassion and expertise. It was the most peaceful passing for him and we would recommend her services anytime.
