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

Even tho this is a time that was very hard and stressful for me, She made the whole experience so peaceful. She was kind and didn’t make us feel rushed or push us. She assured us and made sure to examine Lulu to be sure the time was right. The extra care she put and gave my Lulu in her last moments were so appreciated. We will be forever grateful for the peaceful passing she provide for your forever loved Lulu. 💕 we made the right decision going with her.

We can’t say enough about the compassion Dr Vernon showed our girl, Aja. She made a very difficult and sensitive situation much easier to handle for us and our fur baby. Although this wasn’t the first time experiencing this, she explained everything to us and gave us plenty of time to say our good byes.

Dr Christina is awesome! On my worst day, she was very compassionate and gave us the time needed when saying goodbye. We chose to keep our sweet boy, and she provided us with a pamphlet with burial information.

Review by Dr. Christina Vernon

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.

Dr Veron has been our dogs vet for many years. It was a pleasure for us to have her there to send our dog to her final rest. It was a very good experience. So peaceful.

We are so grateful to have found Dr. Christina. She is kind, caring, compassionate and we cannot recommend her enough. She made the whole process a lot less scary than we imagined it would be. She treated our fur baby as if he was her own.
