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 incredibly empathetic to our needs, emotions, and most importantly, our pet. The process was as perfect as I could have hoped for. Our beloved pet passed away under euthanasia peacefully and his last conscious moment was surrounded by us giving him tons of treats, pets, and love. I cannot recommend Dr. Vernon enough.

We can’t say enough about how kind and compassionate Dr Vernon was with us and our beloved dog, Paco. She is a true professional with a heart of gold. She made sure our Paco left us peacefully and free of pain.

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 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
