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

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.

One of the hardest things we have ever had to do. Dr. Vernon made it as delicate and compassionate as possible. She was there for us and after. She is a credit to her vocation, and we truly appreciate her.

This was our second time using codapet sadly. However she is a very caring vet and when it is time for our other fur babies. We will use codapet again.

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.

Dr Vernon was incredible. Her compassion and patience while we went through our loss has been exceptional. It’s not an easy thing to go through and she was with us from the start and checked up on us after, even providing coloring books for our kids to help cope with their loss. She immediately reaching out to provide our sweet girl’s remains. She made a heart wrenching experience beautiful. Thank you!
