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. Christine was arrived right on time. She was very caring and loving during the visit. She was not rushed and allowed us the time to grief with our dog in the process. She made a terrible experience as perfect as possible High recommend Christine!!

She was an absolute angel. She was very kind to my baby Ash and treated him with dignity and helped him to cross over to the Rainbow Bridge with his loving family next to him throughout the ordeal. We could not have had a better experience.

Dr. Christina Vernon was incredibly empathetic to our needs, emotions, and most importantly, our pet. The process was as perfect as I could have hoped for. Our beloved pet passed away under euthanasia peacefully and his last conscious moment was surrounded by us giving him tons of treats, pets, and love. I cannot recommend Dr. Vernon enough.

Christina was amazing to say the least. She began by sitting down with Tazz and offering her treats to break Tazz’s nervousness with a stranger in her room. Christiana not only comforted Tazz, but us as well with her caring demeanor. She spoke softly and spent time with us …no hurry . Afterwards she wrapped Tazz in a blanket and carried her to her suv which had a nice bed to put her in. About a week later Christina personally brought Tess’s ashes to us. She also followed up with a very nice card. I would highly recommend her services if you looking for a top notch professional to handle your loved ones final minutes…thank you from the bottom of our hearts 💕
