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

She was very kind and patient, made sure we were ready and our baby son Knives was comfortable. It was a peaceful experience for something so sad, and she gave us some fur and whiskers to keep. It was the best way to send my son off.

Dr Vernon explained everything that would happen and always gave us time and would double check with us before she continued with the next step. She also handled Shiva with care and dignity after her passing. We are so grateful for Dr Vernon’s help and compassion. Thank you Dr Vernon.

One of the hardest things we have ever had to do. Dr. Vernon made it as delicate and compassionate as possible. She was there for us and after. She is a credit to her vocation, and we truly appreciate her.

Review by Dr. Christina Vernon

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.

As hard as it is to go through the loss of losing a pet, I would recommend Dr Christina Vernon to anyone in need of her service. She provided such kind, compassionate care for my beloved pet and ensured my own comfort while I had to say goodbye. I was given a paw print that will serve as a memorial to Kitty. I appreciated Dr Christina’s calm demeanor and respectful handling of the situation, including how Kitty was transported after crossing the rainbow bridge. I will always recommend Dr Christina when I can; I couldn’t have asked for a better experience during such a difficult time.
