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. Vernon is wonderful and kind. We’ve unfortunately had to put two of our puppies down within the last few months and both times Dr. Vernon was here to assist us. Staying at home for euthanasia for our two dogs was the best decision we could have made. We highly recommend Dr. Vernon for her professionalism, compassion and care.

Dr. Christina was so wonderful. She was patient with us and gave us as much time as we needed saying goodbye to our pup. She was gentle with her throughout the entire process and explained everything thoroughly so we weren't taken by surprise

Review by Dr. Christina Vernon

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.

We can’t say enough about how kind and compassionate Dr Vernon was with us and our beloved dog, Paco. She is a true professional with a heart of gold. She made sure our Paco left us peacefully and free of pain.

Dr Christina is awesome! On my worst day, she was very compassionate and gave us the time needed when saying goodbye. We chose to keep our sweet boy, and she provided us with a pamphlet with burial information.

Review by Dr. Christina Vernon

Dr Vernon was great! We knew it was time to say goodbye, but she took time to discuss the situation and confirmed we were correct, in our assessment of our girl. She allowed us time and didn't rush the process. She also explained everything we needed to know, along the way. Thank you, for making that really hard day a little easier.
