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 in an unfamiliar environment, my goal is to help provide relief while ensuring your pet experiences the utmost love and comfort in their final moments.

What pet parents are saying

This was a terrible day for us, where we felt so helpless and unable to do anything to lessen our beloved dog’s suffering. It was a holiday weekend, our usual vet was booked up and our sweet girl took a sudden, unmistakable turn for the worse. Dr. Christina was there when we needed her most. She was calm, compassionate, and gave us unrushed time in our own home to say our goodbyes. I will be forever grateful.

Review by Dr. Christina Vernon

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.

Absolutely amazing to work with! Very compassionate, communicative, and sincere. I've already recommended her to my network of friends if ever someone was in that unfortunate situation. Thank you Dr. Vernon, you are wonderful! The Brea Family

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 was so sweet and empathetic. She was so gentle with our dog, Mama and spent time just petting her and talking and made the last little bit of time we had with her very relaxed, quiet and soothing. Mama just seemed so relaxed and peaceful as she drifted off. These times are never easy but Christina and CodaPet did make it a little easier to bear. Thank you
