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 in an unfamiliar environment, my goal is to help provide relief while ensuring your pet experiences the utmost love and comfort in their final moments.

What pet parents are saying

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

Dr Vernon was amazing. She helped us along the way with having today goodbye to our dog and made sure he was comfortable. It was a very sad situation that she helped make bearable.

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. Christina was so comforting. She made sure we were ready and was so kind to our little pixie. Pixie wasn’t scared at all. Dr. Christina ensured us that we were doing the right thing for our girl. She also sent a caring card a week later.
