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

On June 30,2025, we had to have Dr. Christina come to our home for our final day with our beloved "Tom". He was truly our family for 11 years. Dr. Christina was amazing and understanding. We are so grateful for her and how lovely she treated our boy. We have been referring everyone we know to Codapet and Dr Cristina. We miss Tom so much, but thankful for her services...... Allen and Lynn

Review by Dr. Christina Vernon

Dr. Vernon is a caring and compassionate vet. She did everything to make our last time with our beloved cat as gentle and loving as possible. She came to our home which was far better than having to transport him to an office. He was in pain but loved the treats she gave before she administered the injection. We appreciated the care from start to finish. We couldn't have chosen a better person for this important job.

Dr Vernon was amazing! She started our entire sad event ansking us questions about our dog and our memories of when he was younger. then she helped us gently put him to sleep. She took care of our mental states just as much as she helped our dog end his pain.

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.

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.
