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

This was my first time using an in home euthanasia vet, and I will say I will definitely use their services again for our other babies when it is their time. It was the best experience I could ever ask for. Dr Christina was just amazing, she was so kind and very sweet with the whole experience. She cried for our Sadie with us, treated us and Sadie so well, and made us all feel so comfortable. I could not of asked for a better experience. I am very thankful for Dr Christina. She has a tough job, but she handles it with such grace, love, and kindness. Thank you so much for giving us and Sadie the love and comfort we needed.

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. Christina was so wonderful. She was patient with us and gave us as much time as we needed saying goodbye to our pup. She was gentle with her throughout the entire process and explained everything thoroughly so we weren't taken by surprise

About 2 weeks ago I had Christina Vernon come over to my home to euthanize my cat Salem and she was very compassionate during this difficult time. She was very supportive afterwards. I would highly recommend her.

Review by Dr. Christina Vernon

Dr. Christina is a God send ♥️ putting our dog down was one of the toughest decisions my husband and I have had to make and she was amazing !!! I can’t imagine having to do that at a vet office. She was compassionate and walked us thru everything and gave us so much peace and time to process and do what we needed to handle things as best as we could. I’m so beyond grateful for her!

Dr Christina is awesome! On my worst day, she was very compassionate and gave us the time needed when saying goodbye. We chose to keep our sweet boy, and she provided us with a pamphlet with burial information. I would highly recommend this service.
