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 wonderful with the difficult decision of doing in home pet euthanasia. The way she comforted us and our dog not even knowing us made an awful decision a little bit more peaceful. Thank you Dr Vernon

We had to put one of our babies down yesterday. He was my sons dog since he was 8. Dr. Christina Vernon was absolutely amazing. She answered all of our questions and helped us through the difficult time. She made me feel better knowing that Zeus was at home surrounded by his family. Thank you Dr. Christina for making the process a little bit easier on us.

Dr Veron has been our dogs vet for many years. It was a pleasure for us to have her there to send our dog to her final rest. It was a very good experience. So peaceful.

Review by Dr. Christina Vernon

Dr. Christina was the kindest, most compassionate person to help guide us through a very difficult time as we had to put down our beloved golden retriever after 13 wonderful years. She was patient and kind, explained the whole process, and thoughtfully engaged with our dog and us through it all. We are so grateful for her gentle compassion.

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.
