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 is wonderful! She is very compassionate and truly a wonderful person. I don’t think we could have had a better experience at such a difficult time with anyone else. If you are thinking of at home euthanasia, CodaPet and Dr. Christina are the only ones I would choose.

Dr. Vernon assisted us in making the hardest decision we’ve had to make - knowing the time to assist our fuzzy friend to peacefully pass away before he had additional pain and suffering. She was kind and compassionate, and was wonderful to our dog.

Dr. Vernon was so compassionate during her visit to let our sweet boy, Gunner, cross the rainbow bridge. It was in the privacy of our own backyard & incredibly peaceful for him. No anxious car ride to go lie on a cold clinic floor. I highly encourage anyone, who has to make this difficult decision, to choose in home pet euthanasia not only for your pet but for yourself too ❤️

Dr. Vernon could not have been any kinder or more understanding at such a difficult time. My cat had issues with the whole world and Dr. Vernon was able to meet our needs for decreased interaction. My cat passed peacefully in my arms in her own spot in our home. She met Tabitha’s needs.

Dr. Christina Vernon provided an extraordinary service during one of the most difficult moments of my life. When it was time to say goodbye to my beloved Toby, her compassion, professionalism, and gentle approach turned a heartbreaking experience into one of peace and dignity. From the initial contact to her follow-up care, every interaction with Dr. Christina Vernon demonstrated her genuine understanding of the bond between pets and their families. She took the time to explain every step with kindness, allowing me to focus on my final moments with Toby. The environment she created was calm and respectful, ensuring Toby felt safe and loved to the very end. Her communication after the service has been just as thoughtful—answering questions, providing information, and supporting me through this transition. This level of care, coupled with her willingness to help in every way, speaks volumes about her dedication to her patients and their families. I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Christina Vernon to anyone seeking compassionate in-home veterinary care. Her service is a gift during the most vulnerable times, and I will always be grateful for the care she gave Toby and the support she offered me.
