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

She comforted us nad made us feel at ease with the hard decision of euthanization. She was so warm and friendly. She was thoughtful, sent my son a coloring book and a card for us letting us know even though it was a hard choice it was what was best for our dog. Thank you

One of the hardest things we have ever had to do. Dr. Vernon made it as delicate and compassionate as possible. She was there for us and after. She is a credit to her vocation, and we truly appreciate her.

Dr. Christina was incredible. After making the hard decision to do the best for our Ryuu, Dr. Christina’s kindness helped us navigate through the process. While we are no strangers to this process, she brought so much comfort to Ryuu and us, I absolutely cannot thank her enough.

Review by Dr. Christina Vernon

Dr. Christy was an angel. She handled my baby boy Ash so well and while it was difficult to let him go she made the event very personal and beautiful. I’m sure he appreciated her kindness and my family appreciated her as well. More people should look into this as a peaceful and personal tribute to the end of life experience. Thank you so very much.

Dr. Christina is wonderful! She is very compassionate and truly a wonderful person. I don’t think we could have had a better experience at such a difficult time with anyone else. If you are thinking of at home euthanasia, CodaPet and Dr. Christina are the only ones I would choose.
