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.

About 2 weeks ago I had Christina Vernon come over to my home to euthanize my cat Salem and she was very compassionate during this difficult time. She was very supportive afterwards. I would highly recommend her.

Review by Dr. Christina Vernon

We can’t say enough about the compassion Dr Vernon showed our girl, Aja. She made a very difficult and sensitive situation much easier to handle for us and our fur baby. Although this wasn’t the first time experiencing this, she explained everything to us and gave us plenty of time to say our good byes.

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.
