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

Dr. Christina was a true angel!! It was tbe first time we’ve had to make the very difficult decision for a fur baby!! We had the most beautiful experience.. Dr. Christina was extremely compassionate, patient and kind! I can’t thank her enough for making such a difficult time feel so beautiful at the same time. I would highly recommend her to anybody needing assistance with euthanizing their fur baby. She was truly phenomenal!!

Dr. Christina was incredible. After making the hard decision to do the best for our Ryuu, Dr. Christina’s kindness helped us navigate through the process. While we are no strangers to this process, she brought so much comfort to Ryuu and us, I absolutely cannot thank her enough.

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.

This was my first time using an in home euthanasia vet, and I will say I will definitely use their services again for our other babies when it is their time. It was the best experience I could ever ask for. Dr Christina was just amazing, she was so kind and very sweet with the whole experience. She cried for our Sadie with us, treated us and Sadie so well, and made us all feel so comfortable. I could not of asked for a better experience. I am very thankful for Dr Christina. She has a tough job, but she handles it with such grace, love, and kindness. Thank you so much for giving us and Sadie the love and comfort we needed.
