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 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.

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

As hard as it is to go through the loss of losing a pet, I would recommend Dr Christina Vernon to anyone in need of her service. She provided such kind, compassionate care for my beloved pet and ensured my own comfort while I had to say goodbye. I was given a paw print that will serve as a memorial to Kitty. I appreciated Dr Christina’s calm demeanor and respectful handling of the situation, including how Kitty was transported after crossing the rainbow bridge. I will always recommend Dr Christina when I can; I couldn’t have asked for a better experience during such a difficult time.

Dr. Christina was the kindest, most compassionate person to help guide us through a very difficult time as we had to put down our beloved golden retriever after 13 wonderful years. She was patient and kind, explained the whole process, and thoughtfully engaged with our dog and us through it all. We are so grateful for her gentle compassion.

Dr. Vernon was compassionate and genuinely cared about me and the comfort of my Pepper. I am so thankful that she was able and available to come to my home. Pepper would he so anxious having to go to the groomer or vet and to have her final day to be at home not scared and made comfortable gives me comfort and peace. There is more that I could say but it is still hard. I would recommend codapet and Dr. Vernon, such a wonderful and caring person.
