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.

Dr. Christina Vernon was wonderful! She arrived on time and was very kind and compassionate. She was thorough when examining my kitty and kept me informed as to the process. She allowed me to spend as much time as I wanted with my sweet kitty to say goodbye. I’m so grateful to have been able to hold my baby girl as she transitioned over the rainbow bridge.

Dr. Christina is wonderful! She is very compassionate and truly a wonderful person. I don’t think we could have had a better experience at such a difficult time with anyone else. If you are thinking of at home euthanasia, CodaPet and Dr. Christina are the only ones I would choose.

Dr. Christina couldn't have made saying goodbye to Mack more comfortable than she did. She was very kind and informative, as well as gentle and respectful of our time. We're very fortunate to have found your service.

Even tho this is a time that was very hard and stressful for me, She made the whole experience so peaceful. She was kind and didn’t make us feel rushed or push us. She assured us and made sure to examine Lulu to be sure the time was right. The extra care she put and gave my Lulu in her last moments were so appreciated. We will be forever grateful for the peaceful passing she provide for your forever loved Lulu. 💕 we made the right decision going with her.

We can’t say enough about how kind and compassionate Dr Vernon was with us and our beloved dog, Paco. She is a true professional with a heart of gold. She made sure our Paco left us peacefully and free of pain.
