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.

Dr. Christina was so comforting. She made sure we were ready and was so kind to our little pixie. Pixie wasn’t scared at all. Dr. Christina ensured us that we were doing the right thing for our girl. She also sent a caring card a week later.

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.

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.

It was beyond heartbreaking for me to say goodbye to my forever friend, Lola. Even before Dr. Christina Vernon arrived at my door, she was in touch, letting me know she was on her way (and on time), which was so comforting. She is not only an excellent vet, she also is a very compassionate, gentle-mannered professional. She took all the time we needed, explaining very step of the way, ensuring both Lola's and my comfort. Her good nature and empathy were beyond impressive. I highly recommend Dr. Christina Vernon.

Review by Dr. Christina Vernon

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.
