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. Vernon has such an incredible gift and my family and I are lucky that she has been with us for two very difficult times (euthanizing our dogs). She feels like a member of our family and it is evident that she takes her duty seriously and with love and care. I have recommended her to everyone we know. She’s an animal and people lover! We are forever grateful for Dr. Vernon.

Christina was so compassionate and kind as we said our last goodbyes to Max. She allowed us all the time we needed. We chose to have the procedure done to keep Max relaxed and not have a stressful experience.

The moment was had an intimate, peaceful, and respectful feeling towards my pupper. It was the hardest moment I ever had to endure, but Dr. Vernon helped me with processing what I knew was already the right decision for my friend, and honoring him to the end. I am very grateful to have had her there.

Dr Vernon was amazing. She helped us along the way with having today goodbye to our dog and made sure he was comfortable. It was a very sad situation that she helped make bearable.
