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

This was one of the most difficult decisions we have ever made as a family. Christina was so caring to both our dog and us. She knew we were suffering so badly. She was so kind. I’m very thankful she helped us all thru this hard day.

Dr. Christina really helped us through the difficult event of putting to sleep our beloved 15 yr old dog. Her caring and gentle approach made it easier to say goodbye.

Absolutely amazing to work with! Very compassionate, communicative, and sincere. I've already recommended her to my network of friends if ever someone was in that unfortunate situation. Thank you Dr. Vernon, you are wonderful! The Brea Family

Review by Dr. Christina Vernon

I have already shared very positive feedback re: Dr. Vernon to MANY of my dog owner friends. My vet referred your co. to me, and I was just fortunate enough to get Dr. Vernon….a very special, compassionate, animal lover. If all of your employees are like her, kudos to a WONDERFUL company and employees as well.

Dr. Christina came with such a passionate and sympathetic heart her love for animals and for animal parents is unmatched. She went above and beyond to give us extra time to say goodbye to our dear Maggie Mae and even let our other dogs in to say their final goodbyes as well. I highly recommend Dr. Christina for any emergency animal euthanizing her care and passion even dropping Maggie Mae off was just been above and beyond. Thank you, Dr. Christina for your love, your passion and your overall professionalism during this difficult time.

Dr. Christina is a God send ♥️ putting our dog down was one of the toughest decisions my husband and I have had to make and she was amazing !!! I can’t imagine having to do that at a vet office. She was compassionate and walked us thru everything and gave us so much peace and time to process and do what we needed to handle things as best as we could. I’m so beyond grateful for her!
