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.

Dr. Christina really helped us through the difficult event of putting to sleep our beloved 15 yr old dog. Her caring and gentle approach made it easier to say goodbye.

Review by Dr. Christina Vernon

Dr. Christina is a God send in the center of such a sad time in our lives. She was extremely caring, patient and double checked we were absolutely sure this is what we wanted to do. She was so sweet to my fur baby in all her last moments. I know this is never a decision anyone wants to make, but if having to for the sake of your sweet fur babies I absolutely recommend Dr. Christina. We got a beautiful urn back of our baby and a keepsake of her paw that brought tears to my eyes the second I saw it.

Dr. Christina was the kindest, most compassionate person to help guide us through a very difficult time as we had to put down our beloved golden retriever after 13 wonderful years. She was patient and kind, explained the whole process, and thoughtfully engaged with our dog and us through it all. We are so grateful for her gentle compassion.

Dr. Christina was incredible. After making the hard decision to do the best for our Ryuu, Dr. Christina’s kindness helped us navigate through the process. While we are no strangers to this process, she brought so much comfort to Ryuu and us, I absolutely cannot thank her enough.

Review by Dr. Christina Vernon

This was my first time using an in home euthanasia vet, and I will say I will definitely use their services again for our other babies when it is their time. It was the best experience I could ever ask for. Dr Christina was just amazing, she was so kind and very sweet with the whole experience. She cried for our Sadie with us, treated us and Sadie so well, and made us all feel so comfortable. I could not of asked for a better experience. I am very thankful for Dr Christina. She has a tough job, but she handles it with such grace, love, and kindness. Thank you so much for giving us and Sadie the love and comfort we needed.
