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 was very compassionate and gave me plenty of time to say goodbye to my beloved Mello. I would recommend her to my family and friends.

Dr. Vernon is a caring and compassionate vet. She did everything to make our last time with our beloved cat as gentle and loving as possible. She came to our home which was far better than having to transport him to an office. He was in pain but loved the treats she gave before she administered the injection. We appreciated the care from start to finish. We couldn't have chosen a better person for this important job.

Dr Vernon was incredible. Her compassion and patience while we went through our loss has been exceptional. It’s not an easy thing to go through and she was with us from the start and checked up on us after, even providing coloring books for our kids to help cope with their loss. She immediately reaching out to provide our sweet girl’s remains. She made a heart wrenching experience beautiful. Thank you!

Review by Dr. Christina Vernon

Dr Christine came into our lives on the 8th of August of this year. Our little girl Missy had declining for quite some time and for her well being we decided it was time for her to cross over to be wilth her brother Tater. She was 3 1/2 lbs of teacup Maltipoo love and had live a good life of 18 1/2 years. The call was made the clinic to have someone come to the house and be with Missy and help her on the journey she was taking. Dr. Christine arrived on Friday and sat with us and talked about what was going to happen and the process. She picked up Missy too let her know who was here as Missy was both blind and deaf. Missy was very calm and showed no signes of stress or aggitatlion. Dr Christine was so loving and caring when she administered the drugs and we knew Missy felt this. I have never met a veterinarian with such a caring and loving demeanor when she is doing her job. There is a special place for her. Charles L Croghan & Sandra J Treece

Christina was amazing to say the least. She began by sitting down with Tazz and offering her treats to break Tazz’s nervousness with a stranger in her room. Christiana not only comforted Tazz, but us as well with her caring demeanor. She spoke softly and spent time with us …no hurry . Afterwards she wrapped Tazz in a blanket and carried her to her suv which had a nice bed to put her in. About a week later Christina personally brought Tess’s ashes to us. She also followed up with a very nice card. I would highly recommend her services if you looking for a top notch professional to handle your loved ones final minutes…thank you from the bottom of our hearts 💕
