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.

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 amazing to say the least. She began by sitting down with Tazz and offering her treats to break Tazz’s nervousness with a stranger in her room. Christiana not only comforted Tazz, but us as well with her caring demeanor. She spoke softly and spent time with us …no hurry . Afterwards she wrapped Tazz in a blanket and carried her to her suv which had a nice bed to put her in. About a week later Christina personally brought Tess’s ashes to us. She also followed up with a very nice card. I would highly recommend her services if you looking for a top notch professional to handle your loved ones final minutes…thank you from the bottom of our hearts 💕

Review by Dr. Christina Vernon

She was very kind and patient, made sure we were ready and our baby son Knives was comfortable. It was a peaceful experience for something so sad, and she gave us some fur and whiskers to keep. It was the best way to send my son off.

Even tho this is a time that was very hard and stressful for me, She made the whole experience so peaceful. She was kind and didn’t make us feel rushed or push us. She assured us and made sure to examine Lulu to be sure the time was right. The extra care she put and gave my Lulu in her last moments were so appreciated. We will be forever grateful for the peaceful passing she provide for your forever loved Lulu. 💕 we made the right decision going with her.

Dr. Christina was gentle and very clear in explaining how the procedure would proceed including the medications and how they would affect Georgie. When the time was right she injected the final med and Georgie passed without pain. Thank you for the care you provide to owners and pets.
