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 was incredible. Her compassion and patience while we went through our loss has been exceptional. It’s not an easy thing to go through and she was with us from the start and checked up on us after, even providing coloring books for our kids to help cope with their loss. She immediately reaching out to provide our sweet girl’s remains. She made a heart wrenching experience beautiful. Thank you!

Review by Dr. Christina Vernon

Dr. Christina was amazing. She's took very good care of our baby. It was a really hard time but she made it a smooth transition. No one ever wants to go through this, I wouldn't have done it any other way. I really loved that my baby was able to leave this Earth at home in his own bed without the added stress of going to the vet office. I would highly recommend Dr. Christina

Review by Dr. Christina Vernon

Dr Christina, was very sweet to my Febe. I wanted Febe's last moments at home with her family. She was a happy girl and she is missed terribly. But this was so much easier for her. Thank You so much for being there for us.

Dr. Christina Vernon provided an extraordinary service during one of the most difficult moments of my life. When it was time to say goodbye to my beloved Toby, her compassion, professionalism, and gentle approach turned a heartbreaking experience into one of peace and dignity. From the initial contact to her follow-up care, every interaction with Dr. Christina Vernon demonstrated her genuine understanding of the bond between pets and their families. She took the time to explain every step with kindness, allowing me to focus on my final moments with Toby. The environment she created was calm and respectful, ensuring Toby felt safe and loved to the very end. Her communication after the service has been just as thoughtful—answering questions, providing information, and supporting me through this transition. This level of care, coupled with her willingness to help in every way, speaks volumes about her dedication to her patients and their families. I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Christina Vernon to anyone seeking compassionate in-home veterinary care. Her service is a gift during the most vulnerable times, and I will always be grateful for the care she gave Toby and the support she offered me.

I have already shared very positive feedback re: Dr. Vernon to MANY of my dog owner friends. My vet referred your co. to me, and I was just fortunate enough to get Dr. Vernon….a very special, compassionate, animal lover. If all of your employees are like her, kudos to a WONDERFUL company and employees as well.
