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

She was an absolute angel. She was very kind to my baby Ash and treated him with dignity and helped him to cross over to the Rainbow Bridge with his loving family next to him throughout the ordeal. We could not have had a better experience.

These doctors are angels on earth. Everything that could have been done to make one of the hardest times of my life more bearable was done. My pup and I were shown so much compassion. I truly appreciate what you do.

Review by Dr. Christina Vernon

Dr. Christy was an angel. She handled my baby boy Ash so well and while it was difficult to let him go she made the event very personal and beautiful. I’m sure he appreciated her kindness and my family appreciated her as well. More people should look into this as a peaceful and personal tribute to the end of life experience. Thank you so very much.

Dr Christine came into our lives on the 8th of August of this year. Our little girl Missy had declining for quite some time and for her well being we decided it was time for her to cross over to be wilth her brother Tater. She was 3 1/2 lbs of teacup Maltipoo love and had live a good life of 18 1/2 years. The call was made the clinic to have someone come to the house and be with Missy and help her on the journey she was taking. Dr. Christine arrived on Friday and sat with us and talked about what was going to happen and the process. She picked up Missy too let her know who was here as Missy was both blind and deaf. Missy was very calm and showed no signes of stress or aggitatlion. Dr Christine was so loving and caring when she administered the drugs and we knew Missy felt this. I have never met a veterinarian with such a caring and loving demeanor when she is doing her job. There is a special place for her. Charles L Croghan & Sandra J Treece

Dr. Vernon was extremely compassionate, professional, and kind. She accommodated our wish to have the passing done outside at his favorite spot in the yard. I highly recommend Dr. Vernon and thank her for her gentle and understanding approach.

Review by Dr. Christina Vernon

Dr. Vernon assisted us in making the hardest decision we’ve had to make - knowing the time to assist our fuzzy friend to peacefully pass away before he had additional pain and suffering. She was kind and compassionate, and was wonderful to our dog.
