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 couldn't have made saying goodbye to Mack more comfortable than she did. She was very kind and informative, as well as gentle and respectful of our time. We're very fortunate to have found your service.

The moment was had an intimate, peaceful, and respectful feeling towards my pupper. It was the hardest moment I ever had to endure, but Dr. Vernon helped me with processing what I knew was already the right decision for my friend, and honoring him to the end. I am very grateful to have had her there.

Christina made the experience of transitioning our little maltipoo Joey over the rainbow bridge as easy as possible. We cannot thank her enough for her compassion and expertise. It was the most peaceful passing for him and we would recommend her services anytime.

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

Saying goodbye to my dog was really hard, and Dr. Vernon was so kind, and so caring. Nothing can make that experience easy, but her compassion was apparent, and her care for both my dog Willow and for ME was much appreciated.

Dr. Christina came with such a passionate and sympathetic heart her love for animals and for animal parents is unmatched. She went above and beyond to give us extra time to say goodbye to our dear Maggie Mae and even let our other dogs in to say their final goodbyes as well. I highly recommend Dr. Christina for any emergency animal euthanizing her care and passion even dropping Maggie Mae off was just been above and beyond. Thank you, Dr. Christina for your love, your passion and your overall professionalism during this difficult time.
