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

Where do I start? Dr Christina is truly a phenomenal human and was absolutely the Dr I needed to assist me with saying goodbye to my girl. She communicated with me throughout the day and when I felt the shift in my dog, I sent her a video of her breathing and Dr Christina stopped what she was doing (at night I might add), and came to help my girl cross the rainbow bridge, so she didn’t have to suffer throughout the night. I truly couldn’t have asked for a sweeter, kinder person to help me through the whole process.

Dr. Vernon was so compassionate during her visit to let our sweet boy, Gunner, cross the rainbow bridge. It was in the privacy of our own backyard & incredibly peaceful for him. No anxious car ride to go lie on a cold clinic floor. I highly encourage anyone, who has to make this difficult decision, to choose in home pet euthanasia not only for your pet but for yourself too ❤️

Dr. Christina Vernon was wonderful being very empathetic with us, she had the best bedside manner, she gave Rocky the dignity and love he needed. We’re so grateful she was the doctor who could help Rocky pass peacefully and finally feel a moment of comfort in the end. Thank you Dr. Vernon for showing my kids and I what caring, love and respect for our furry family members looks like even when helping them in their last moments looks like, Rocky was a sweet boy and he finally felt some comfort with all of us around him.

Richard Parker, Little Richie. 2013-2024 We had to say goodbye to our sweet boy on the same day 11 years later September 4 2024. Dr Vernon made this excruciating day very peaceful as we helped our suffering boy home. She was very compassionate, patient and kind. I would highly recommend this in home service and certainly Dr Vernon in your time of need. 💔❤️

Dr. Christina Vernon was very soothing and gentle with our Sammie. She was very considerate of how hard this was for us as well, explaining every step.

My family and I had to make the hardest decision of a lifetime, not just for one but two fur babies at the same time, Daisy (15) and Guiness (14). As much as we wanted them to live for a thousand years, their health was declining rapidly. Dr Christina Veron was our earth angel and was there every step of the way! She was very patient and supportive and explained every step of the process to help our fur babies cross over the rainbow bridge. She is one of the most caring veterinarians we have ever met. We can't Thank Dr. Christina enough for everything. Our family may feel a little empty but we are at peace. Thank you for all the love and support at this difficult time.
