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 in an unfamiliar environment, my goal is to help provide relief while ensuring your pet experiences the utmost love and comfort in their final moments.

We can’t say enough about how kind and compassionate Dr Vernon was with us and our beloved dog, Paco. She is a true professional with a heart of gold. She made sure our Paco left us peacefully and free of pain.

Dr. Christina made a very difficult experience a little easier. When she arrived, she let us know we're going at our own pace. She's very gentle and reassuring; she's also very caring from beginning through the aftercare when she brought over Rex's ashes. Thanks again for all that you do Dr. God bless.

This was one of the most difficult decisions we have ever made as a family. Christina was so caring to both our dog and us. She knew we were suffering so badly. She was so kind. I’m very thankful she helped us all thru this hard day.

Dr. Vernon is wonderful and kind. We’ve unfortunately had to put two of our puppies down within the last few months and both times Dr. Vernon was here to assist us. Staying at home for euthanasia for our two dogs was the best decision we could have made. We highly recommend Dr. Vernon for her professionalism, compassion and care.
