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 extremely patient and compassionate during this very difficult time. She made saying goodbye to our dog about as good as it was ever going to be.

Review by Dr. Christina Vernon

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

Where do I start? Dr Christina is truly a phenomenal human and was absolutely the Dr I needed to assist me with saying goodbye to my girl. She communicated with me throughout the day and when I felt the shift in my dog, I sent her a video of her breathing and Dr Christina stopped what she was doing (at night I might add), and came to help my girl cross the rainbow bridge, so she didn’t have to suffer throughout the night. I truly couldn’t have asked for a sweeter, kinder person to help me through the whole process.

When she arrived she explained everything and and let us have time with our girl When she was ready we agreed it was time She was so caring and kind And it was very peaceful Our girl went to heaven and Dr Christina never left our side I can’t say enough about this experience We were even given a footprint of our girl

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.

Dr. Christina was gentle and very clear in explaining how the procedure would proceed including the medications and how they would affect Georgie. When the time was right she injected the final med and Georgie passed without pain. Thank you for the care you provide to owners and pets.
