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 Vernon was wonderful! She arrived on time and was very kind and compassionate. She was thorough when examining my kitty and kept me informed as to the process. She allowed me to spend as much time as I wanted with my sweet kitty to say goodbye. I’m so grateful to have been able to hold my baby girl as she transitioned over the rainbow bridge.

Dr. Christina was gentle and very clear in explaining how the procedure would proceed including the medications and how they would affect Georgie. When the time was right she injected the final med and Georgie passed without pain. Thank you for the care you provide to owners and pets.

We recently had to say goodbye to our beloved older dog Carson. Dr. Christina was patient, professional, and loving. I appreciated her so very much. It's hard to lose a pet but Dr. Christina helped us through. Thank you, Dr. Christina.

Review by Dr. Christina Vernon

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.

Dr. Vernon assisted us in making the hardest decision we’ve had to make - knowing the time to assist our fuzzy boy to peacefully pass away before he had additional pain and suffering. She was kind and compassionate, and was wonderful to our dog. She helped us make the best decision we could make, and let us take as much time as we needed with our boy. We were able to say our goodbyes, and carry him to her vehicle. Within a week, she personally brought his cremains back to us, with a beautiful footprint that we will always cherish.
