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 Christina was wonderful. She contacted us numerous times letting us know how far away she was. When she arrived she explained everything and and let us have time with our girl When she was ready we agreed it was time She was so caring and kind And it was very peaceful Our girl went to heaven and Dr Christina never left our side I can’t say enough about this experience We were even given a footprint of our girl

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.

During one of the most difficult times for our family, Dr. Vernon could not have been more professional, sympathetic and sincere. Her kind heart and gentle manner were a true comfort for our family as we had to say our hardest goodbye. Bless you, Christina, for all that you do and for the compassion that you shared with us all.

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 was incredible!! She was so patient, kind, and respectful of our family during a very difficult time for us. She has a very calm and soothing demeanor and gave us all the time we needed with our dog! I would highly recommend her!

Review by Dr. Christina Vernon

As hard as it is to go through the loss of losing a pet, I would recommend Dr Christina Vernon to anyone in need of her service. She provided such kind, compassionate care for my beloved pet and ensured my own comfort while I had to say goodbye. I was given a paw print that will serve as a memorial to Kitty. I appreciated Dr Christina’s calm demeanor and respectful handling of the situation, including how Kitty was transported after crossing the rainbow bridge. I will always recommend Dr Christina when I can; I couldn’t have asked for a better experience during such a difficult time.
