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 wonderful. She contacted us numerous times letting us know how far away she was. When she arrived she explained everything and and let us have time with our girl When she was ready we agreed it was time She was so caring and kind And it was very peaceful Our girl went to heaven and Dr Christina never left our side I can’t say enough about this experience We were even given a footprint of our girl

Dr Vernon was so loving and caring to our family during this hard time. Even though it was a tough situation she made the absolute best out of it for us. I really cannot thank her enough!

This was one of the most difficult decisions we have ever made as a family. Christina was so caring to both our dog and us. She knew we were suffering so badly. She was so kind. I’m very thankful she helped us all thru this hard day.

She was very kind and patient, made sure we were ready and our baby son Knives was comfortable. It was a peaceful experience for something so sad, and she gave us some fur and whiskers to keep. It was the best way to send my son off.

Dr. Vernon was compassionate and genuinely cared about me and the comfort of my Pepper. I am so thankful that she was able and available to come to my home. Pepper would he so anxious having to go to the groomer or vet and to have her final day to be at home not scared and made comfortable gives me comfort and peace. There is more that I could say but it is still hard. I would recommend codapet and Dr. Vernon, such a wonderful and caring person.

Dr. Vernon was caring and compassionate. She did a beautiful job helping me w/Molly Mae's passing. I passed along your company to Petco's Manager in Glendale. He had not heard of your service and was interested in checking it out. Thanks, Gloria Moscarello
