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.

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. I would highly recommend this service.

Dr. Christina really helped us through the difficult event of putting to sleep our beloved 15 yr old dog. Her caring and gentle approach made it easier to say goodbye.

Dr. Christina Vernon was very soothing and gentle with our Sammie. She was very considerate of how hard this was for us as well, explaining every step.

Dr. Christina made a very difficult experience a little easier. When she arrived, she let us know we're going at our own pace. She's very gentle and reassuring; she's also very caring from beginning through the aftercare when she brought over Rex's ashes. Thanks again for all that you do Dr. God bless.

Absolutely amazing to work with! Very compassionate, communicative, and sincere. I've already recommended her to my network of friends if ever someone was in that unfortunate situation. Thank you Dr. Vernon, you are wonderful! The Brea Family
