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

Saying goodbye to our Gigie was one of our hardest decisions we had to make. We did not want to see her go. She brought a lot of love to us and lived like a queen. We scheduled and cancelled several times with Dr. Christina and she was always very understanding and took the time to talk with us about the decision we had to make. During the time we said our goodbyes she was so kind and caring and Gigie was at ease that she was in her home surrounded by the people that loved her. It has taken us a few weeks to be able to write this but felt that it was important to let everyone know how much we appreciate Dr. Christina and feel blessed to have her during that difficult period.

Review by Dr. Christina Vernon

One of the hardest things we have ever had to do. Dr. Vernon made it as delicate and compassionate as possible. She was there for us and after. She is a credit to her vocation, and we truly appreciate her.

Review by Dr. Christina Vernon

Dr. Christina Vernon was wonderful being very empathetic with us, she had the best bedside manner, she gave Rocky the dignity and love he needed. We’re so grateful she was the doctor who could help Rocky pass peacefully and finally feel a moment of comfort in the end. Thank you Dr. Vernon for showing my kids and I what caring, love and respect for our furry family members looks like even when helping them in their last moments looks like, Rocky was a sweet boy and he finally felt some comfort with all of us around him.

It was beyond heartbreaking for me to say goodbye to my forever friend, Lola. Even before Dr. Christina Vernon arrived at my door, she was in touch, letting me know she was on her way (and on time), which was so comforting. She is not only an excellent vet, she also is a very compassionate, gentle-mannered professional. She took all the time we needed, explaining very step of the way, ensuring both Lola's and my comfort. Her good nature and empathy were beyond impressive. I highly recommend Dr. Christina Vernon.
