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 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.

Dr. Vernon was caring and compassionate. She did a beautiful job helping me w/Molly Mae's passing. I passed along your company to Petco's Manager in Glendale. He had not heard of your service and was interested in checking it out. Thanks, Gloria Moscarello

Dr. Vernon is wonderful and kind. We’ve unfortunately had to put two of our puppies down within the last few months and both times Dr. Vernon was here to assist us. Staying at home for euthanasia for our two dogs was the best decision we could have made. We highly recommend Dr. Vernon for her professionalism, compassion and care.

This was my first experience having to put a pet down. Dr.Christina V. was so patient and kind. She had such calming Ora about her! It was so peaceful for my Daisy may. She deserved peace at her old age. Me and my husband are Soooooo happy with our choice of choosing Codapet.com. If there was a 10 star option we would choose it! Thank you again Dr. Christina

Dr. Christina Vernon was wonderful being very empathetic with us, she had the best bedside manner, she gave Rocky the dignity and love he needed. We’re so grateful she was the doctor who could help Rocky pass peacefully and finally feel a moment of comfort in the end. Thank you Dr. Vernon for showing my kids and I what caring, love and respect for our furry family members looks like even when helping them in their last moments looks like, Rocky was a sweet boy and he finally felt some comfort with all of us around him.
