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

We are so grateful to have found Dr. Christina. She is kind, caring, compassionate and we cannot recommend her enough. She made the whole process a lot less scary than we imagined it would be. She treated our fur baby as if he was her own.

Dr. Vernon could not have been any kinder or more understanding at such a difficult time. My cat had issues with the whole world and Dr. Vernon was able to meet our needs for decreased interaction. My cat passed peacefully in my arms in her own spot in our home. She met Tabitha’s needs.

Dr Christina was wonderful. She contacted us numerous times letting us know how far away she was. When she arrived she explained everything and and let us have time with our girl When she was ready we agreed it was time She was so caring and kind And it was very peaceful Our girl went to heaven and Dr Christina never left our side I can’t say enough about this experience We were even given a footprint of our girl

Dr. Christina was the kindest, most compassionate person to help guide us through a very difficult time as we had to put down our beloved golden retriever after 13 wonderful years. She was patient and kind, explained the whole process, and thoughtfully engaged with our dog and us through it all. We are so grateful for her gentle compassion.

She was absolutely the very best❤️ She was so calm and kind and thoughtful, Rico was so calm when she just came into the room. He was so comfortable with her being there. I’ve had other animals put down at my house by other vets, she was the most kind and thoughtful and Caring in this whole, very sad experience. I would give her 10 stars she is an angel or doing what she does to ease us all who have lost our very devoted and precious Pet Many many thanks again to Dr Christina❤️🙏❤️🐾❤️

Dr. Christina is a God send in the center of such a sad time in our lives. She was extremely caring, patient and double checked we were absolutely sure this is what we wanted to do. She was so sweet to my fur baby in all her last moments. I know this is never a decision anyone wants to make, but if having to for the sake of your sweet fur babies I absolutely recommend Dr. Christina. We got a beautiful urn back of our baby and a keepsake of her paw that brought tears to my eyes the second I saw it.
