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.

Dr. Vernon was compassionate and genuinely cared about me and the comfort of my Pepper. I am so thankful that she was able and available to come to my home. Pepper would he so anxious having to go to the groomer or vet and to have her final day to be at home not scared and made comfortable gives me comfort and peace. There is more that I could say but it is still hard. I would recommend codapet and Dr. Vernon, such a wonderful and caring person.
