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 is a God send ♥️ putting our dog down was one of the toughest decisions my husband and I have had to make and she was amazing !!! I can’t imagine having to do that at a vet office. She was compassionate and walked us thru everything and gave us so much peace and time to process and do what we needed to handle things as best as we could. I’m so beyond grateful for her!

Dr. Christina was compassionate and competent. It was a difficult day, helped by the doctor’s experience, pace, and care. I would highly recommend her.

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.

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.

Dr. Vernon was caring and compassionate. She did a beautiful job helping me w/Molly Mae's passing. I passed along your company to Petco's Manager in Glendale. He had not heard of your service and was interested in checking it out. Thanks, Gloria Moscarello
