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.

Review by Dr. Christina Vernon

I am so glad Dr. Vernon was available during our time of need. My fur baby crashed very suddenly and unexpectedly and it was a holiday and Dr. Vernon was able to come out on short notice and end my boys suffering. She was very gentle and kind and she asked nice questions about my fur baby, prompting us to bring up memories of the good old days of his youth. She calmly explained the entire euthanasia process to us and she made sure we had enough time to say our goodbyes and didn't rush things. She checked in with me the next day to see how I was doing and gave me updates on when I would get his ashes back, which she hand delivered herself. Saying goodbye to my best friend was the worst day of my life, but at least we were lucky enough to have a doctor that was so thoughtful and genuine to help us through the process.

We are so grateful to have found Dr. Christina. She is kind, caring, compassionate and we cannot recommend her enough. She made the whole process a lot less scary than we imagined it would be. She treated our fur baby as if he was her own.

I cannot express how grateful I was for her. Her comforting tone of voice was just what I needed. She was truly compassionate and kind. I would absolutely ask for her again.
