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 Vernon was incredibly empathetic to our needs, emotions, and most importantly, our pet. The process was as perfect as I could have hoped for. Our beloved pet passed away under euthanasia peacefully and his last conscious moment was surrounded by us giving him tons of treats, pets, and love. I cannot recommend Dr. Vernon enough.

Where do I start? Dr Christina is truly a phenomenal human and was absolutely the Dr I needed to assist me with saying goodbye to my girl. She communicated with me throughout the day and when I felt the shift in my dog, I sent her a video of her breathing and Dr Christina stopped what she was doing (at night I might add), and came to help my girl cross the rainbow bridge, so she didn’t have to suffer throughout the night. I truly couldn’t have asked for a sweeter, kinder person to help me through the whole process.

She was absolutely the very best❤️ She was so calm and kind and thoughtful, Rico was so calm when she just came into the room. He was so comfortable with her being there. I’ve had other animals put down at my house by other vets, she was the most kind and thoughtful and Caring in this whole, very sad experience. I would give her 10 stars she is an angel or doing what she does to ease us all who have lost our very devoted and precious Pet Many many thanks again to Dr Christina❤️🙏❤️🐾❤️

Dr Vernon was wonderful with the difficult decision of doing in home pet euthanasia. The way she comforted us and our dog not even knowing us made an awful decision a little bit more peaceful. Thank you Dr Vernon

During one of the most difficult times for our family, Dr. Vernon could not have been more professional, sympathetic and sincere. Her kind heart and gentle manner were a true comfort for our family as we had to say our hardest goodbye. Bless you, Christina, for all that you do and for the compassion that you shared with us all.
