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 amazing! She started our entire sad event ansking us questions about our dog and our memories of when he was younger. then she helped us gently put him to sleep. She took care of our mental states just as much as she helped our dog end his pain.

These doctors are angels on earth. Everything that could have been done to make one of the hardest times of my life more bearable was done. My pup and I were shown so much compassion. I truly appreciate what you do.

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.

Dr Christina was such a compassionate doctor. She could clearly see our baby girl Lyla was suffering and felt the pain we were experiencing. She made every step of the journey possible for us to endure. The after care we received was by far more then words could describe. When she brought our baby back home as we crumbled in tears she comforted us. We were so overwhelmed as we shared where we took her for a final rest. A place near and dear to our heart. She now overlooks Napa Vallet in Penngrove where she runs free with the cows, turkeys, deer and llamas. Out Lyla will be missed but she made our decision for home end of life bearable. Thank you from the bottom of our souls.

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.
