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 caring and compassionate. She did a beautiful job helping me w/Molly Mae's passing. I passed along your company to Petco's Manager in Glendale. He had not heard of your service and was interested in checking it out. Thanks, Gloria Moscarello

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.

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

Dr Christina was an angel. I had my Chi Chi cat for 19 years , it was hard to let him go. She was kind, patient, and caring through the difficult process. Thank you Dr Christina Vernon.

It was such a difficult decision to put my baby to sleep. I knew I wanted to do it at home and not at the vet clinic. The clinic had a flyer on Codapet which was very helpful. Dr. Christina Vernon was the one who came out. She was in touch with me before she came, she took all the time I needed while she was here. She was very compassionate and caring for myself and my baby which I really appreciated as I was very emotional. When needed again, I will definitely call Codapet and Dr. Vernon. She was wonderful.
