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 amazing throughout the process. She was very compassionate knowing how sad our family to say goodbye to our 16 year old Mini Schnauzer, Pepper. She explained everything and provided us the best care we could have asked for. We had an in-home pet euthanasia before by another vet, but it did not provide the extra care as we felt we received this time. Thank you for your kindness during this sad time.

She was very kind and patient, made sure we were ready and our baby son Knives was comfortable. It was a peaceful experience for something so sad, and she gave us some fur and whiskers to keep. It was the best way to send my son off.

Dr. Vernon is a knowledgeable, thoughtful, and professional vet. She made a heartbreaking process, less stressful with her compassion and support.

Review by Dr. Christina Vernon

It was such a difficult decision to put my baby to sleep. I knew I wanted to do it at home and not at the vet clinic. The clinic had a flyer on Codapet which was very helpful. Dr. Christina Vernon was the one who came out. She was in touch with me before she came, she took all the time I needed while she was here. She was very compassionate and caring for myself and my baby which I really appreciated as I was very emotional. When needed again, I will definitely call Codapet and Dr. Vernon. She was wonderful.

We are so grateful to have found Dr. Christina. She is kind, caring, compassionate and we cannot recommend her enough. She made the whole process a lot less scary than we imagined it would be. She treated our fur baby as if he was her own.
