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

Dr. Christina was extremely patient, caring, and accommodating. Our kitty's condition came on suddenly and we were not prepared to deal with such a sad situation, but she was very helpful and helped to make our last moments with him as peaceful as anyone could hope for.

Dr Christina was an angel. I had my Chi Chi cat for 19 years , it was hard to let him go. She was kind, patient, and caring through the difficult process. Thank you Dr Christina Vernon.

She was absolutely the very best❤️ She was so calm and kind and thoughtful, Rico was so calm when she just came into the room. He was so comfortable with her being there. I’ve had other animals put down at my house by other vets, she was the most kind and thoughtful and Caring in this whole, very sad experience. I would give her 10 stars she is an angel or doing what she does to ease us all who have lost our very devoted and precious Pet Many many thanks again to Dr Christina❤️🙏❤️🐾❤️

She comforted us nad made us feel at ease with the hard decision of euthanization. She was so warm and friendly. She was thoughtful, sent my son a coloring book and a card for us letting us know even though it was a hard choice it was what was best for our dog. Thank you

Dr. Christina was so wonderful. She was patient with us and gave us as much time as we needed saying goodbye to our pup. She was gentle with her throughout the entire process and explained everything thoroughly so we weren't taken by surprise

Dr Vernon explained everything that would happen and always gave us time and would double check with us before she continued with the next step. She also handled Shiva with care and dignity after her passing. We are so grateful for Dr Vernon’s help and compassion. Thank you Dr Vernon.
