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

These doctors are angels on earth. Everything that could have been done to make one of the hardest times of my life more bearable was done. My pup and I were shown so much compassion. I truly appreciate what you do.

Dr. Christina Vernon was absolutely wonderful. She made the process of at home pet euthanasia safe, comfortable and loving. She took great care of our beloved dog Boo and us. She was knowledgeable, thoughtful and compassionate. I cannot thank her enough for making this whole process bearable. Thank you.

Dr. Christina was amazing throughout the process. She was very compassionate knowing how sad our family to say goodbye to our 16 year old Mini Schnauzer, Pepper. She explained everything and provided us the best care we could have asked for. We had an in-home pet euthanasia before by another vet, but it did not provide the extra care as we felt we received this time. Thank you for your kindness during this sad time.

This was our second time using codapet sadly. However she is a very caring vet and when it is time for our other fur babies. We will use codapet again.

Dr Vernon was wonderful with the difficult decision of doing in home pet euthanasia. The way she comforted us and our dog not even knowing us made an awful decision a little bit more peaceful. Thank you Dr Vernon

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.
