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

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.
