What pet parents are saying
Dr. Christina was so wonderful! She came out after hours to put down our precious Hershey our dog and Larrie our cat. She was so kind and sincere. Our pets passed peacefully. Thank you!
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.
She was so kind and sweet and asked about my dog Capone and what was going on with him. She was even able to fit as in a day earlier as he seemed to be declining so much quicker then I hoped. She walked us thru the process of how everything was going to happen. She took care of my Capone and felt very secure with her handling him after his passing. She sent texts a couple days later checking in on me and my family and how we were doing as well as received a card in the mail. She brought his ashes home about a week later. In this very hard and sad time, I appreciate all the warm heartfelt support she provided.
Dr Vernon explained everything that would happen and always gave us time and would double check with us before she continued with the next step. She also handled Shiva with care and dignity after her passing. We are so grateful for Dr Vernon’s help and compassion. Thank you Dr Vernon.
The moment was had an intimate, peaceful, and respectful feeling towards my pupper. It was the hardest moment I ever had to endure, but Dr. Vernon helped me with processing what I knew was already the right decision for my friend, and honoring him to the end. I am very grateful to have had her there.
Dr. Vernon assisted us in making the hardest decision we’ve had to make - knowing the time to assist our fuzzy boy to peacefully pass away before he had additional pain and suffering. She was kind and compassionate, and was wonderful to our dog. She helped us make the best decision we could make, and let us take as much time as we needed with our boy. We were able to say our goodbyes, and carry him to her vehicle. Within a week, she personally brought his cremains back to us, with a beautiful footprint that we will always cherish.
She was very kind and patient, made sure we were ready and our baby son Knives was comfortable. It was a peaceful experience for something so sad, and she gave us some fur and whiskers to keep. It was the best way to send my son off.
Dr. Vernon was extremely compassionate, professional, and kind. She accommodated our wish to have the passing done outside at his favorite spot in the yard. I highly recommend Dr. Vernon and thank her for her gentle and understanding approach.
She was super sweet and caring. She made a very difficult day a calming experience. She explained everything that she would be doing, and even expressed sympathy for what we were going through. Our little dog was right there the whole time and let her smell and lay with her sister. I truly felt she understood what was happening, because it seemed her grieving process only lasted a few days. The packaging of everything bringing our baby home to rest was beautiful as well. I would highly recommend her if you find yourself in this situation. Thank you so much Dr Vernon.
I cannot express how grateful I was for her. Her comforting tone of voice was just what I needed. She was truly compassionate and kind. I would absolutely ask for her again.
Dr Christine came into our lives on the 8th of August of this year. Our little girl Missy had declining for quite some time and for her well being we decided it was time for her to cross over to be wilth her brother Tater. She was 3 1/2 lbs of teacup Maltipoo love and had live a good life of 18 1/2 years. The call was made the clinic to have someone come to the house and be with Missy and help her on the journey she was taking. Dr. Christine arrived on Friday and sat with us and talked about what was going to happen and the process. She picked up Missy too let her know who was here as Missy was both blind and deaf. Missy was very calm and showed no signes of stress or aggitatlion. Dr Christine was so loving and caring when she administered the drugs and we knew Missy felt this. I have never met a veterinarian with such a caring and loving demeanor when she is doing her job. There is a special place for her. Charles L Croghan & Sandra J Treece
Dr Vernon was outstanding. So caring and compassionate. She made us and our pet as comfortable as could be possible. Her follow up and support were exceptional.
I am so glad Dr. Vernon was available during our time of need. My fur baby crashed very suddenly and unexpectedly and it was a holiday and Dr. Vernon was able to come out on short notice and end my boys suffering. She was very gentle and kind and she asked nice questions about my fur baby, prompting us to bring up memories of the good old days of his youth. She calmly explained the entire euthanasia process to us and she made sure we had enough time to say our goodbyes and didn't rush things. She checked in with me the next day to see how I was doing and gave me updates on when I would get his ashes back, which she hand delivered herself. Saying goodbye to my best friend was the worst day of my life, but at least we were lucky enough to have a doctor that was so thoughtful and genuine to help us through the process.
Dr. Vernon is a caring and compassionate vet. She did everything to make our last time with our beloved cat as gentle and loving as possible. She came to our home which was far better than having to transport him to an office. He was in pain but loved the treats she gave before she administered the injection. We appreciated the care from start to finish. We couldn't have chosen a better person for this important job.
Dr. Christina was very kind and caring and helped with sending our sweet pup to Rainbow Bridge. Miss our girl very much! Thank you for your kindness.
Dr. Christina was incredible!! She was so patient, kind, and respectful of our family during a very difficult time for us. She has a very calm and soothing demeanor and gave us all the time we needed with our dog! I would highly recommend her!
Dr Christina was wonderful. She contacted us numerous times letting us know how far away she was. When she arrived she explained everything and and let us have time with our girl When she was ready we agreed it was time She was so caring and kind And it was very peaceful Our girl went to heaven and Dr Christina never left our side I can’t say enough about this experience We were even given a footprint of our girl
Dr Vernon was incredible. Her compassion and patience while we went through our loss has been exceptional. It’s not an easy thing to go through and she was with us from the start and checked up on us after, even providing coloring books for our kids to help cope with their loss. She immediately reaching out to provide our sweet girl’s remains. She made a heart wrenching experience beautiful. Thank you!
We needed to put down our sixteen year old lab . I called her office to see wha were my choices for having her come to my home which she did. Bo our dog was very special to me he had been with me through a tough time in my life He was always with no matter what. Dr. Vernon came to my home she was so compassionate and caring. She walked us through what she was going to do and during each step she gave us time with Removing a 110 pound lab is not easy but she allowed me to wrap Bo in his blanket and then her and my husband took him out on a stretcher He looked so peaceful I miss him but I was fortunate to have Dr Vernon to be the one to help him cross over
Dr. Vernon has such an incredible gift and my family and I are lucky that she has been with us for two very difficult times (euthanizing our dogs). She feels like a member of our family and it is evident that she takes her duty seriously and with love and care. I have recommended her to everyone we know. She’s an animal and people lover! We are forever grateful for Dr. Vernon.
Dr. Vernon could not have been any kinder or more understanding at such a difficult time. My cat had issues with the whole world and Dr. Vernon was able to meet our needs for decreased interaction. My cat passed peacefully in my arms in her own spot in our home. She met Tabitha’s needs.
Christina was so compassionate and kind as we said our last goodbyes to Max. She allowed us all the time we needed. We chose to have the procedure done to keep Max relaxed and not have a stressful experience.
Dr. Christina was compassionate and competent. It was a difficult day, helped by the doctor’s experience, pace, and care. I would highly recommend her.
Dr. Christina Vernon is a special person. I have never tried at home services like this, and I tell you, this was the best experience for both me and my pet. Thank you Dr. Vernon, you were wonderful and we both appreciated the care you provided to us.
Dr. Vernon is a knowledgeable, thoughtful, and professional vet. She made a heartbreaking process, less stressful with her compassion and support.
Dr Vernon was so loving and caring to our family during this hard time. Even though it was a tough situation she made the absolute best out of it for us. I really cannot thank her enough!
Dr Christina is awesome! On my worst day, she was very compassionate and gave us the time needed when saying goodbye. We chose to keep our sweet boy, and she provided us with a pamphlet with burial information.
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.
Can't thank Dr Christina Vernon enough for her caring and compassion. She has the biggest HEART and we could genuinely feel her sorrow with us in our loss of our Jiji. 🐈⬛ Dr. Christina went way beyond and I truly am thankful and greatful for her. 💗💐🦋🐈⬛ your home now Jiji 💓
Coadpet did an excellent job. From start to finish, they offered compassionate care and support during an extremely difficult time. They were consistently responsive, thoughtful, and genuinely caring. I truly appreciated how Dr. Christina guided me through every step of the process with tenderness and compassion. I’m so glad I made the decision to do this at home with her by my side. Thank you Dr. Christina!!
Exceptional ... Dr Vernon came highly recommended and I'm so glad I chose her to be there with my family and myself .She was so patient and gave us time to say goodbye to our furbaby . She was so gentle with her . I will never forget Dr Vernon .
We had to put one of our babies down yesterday. He was my sons dog since he was 8. Dr. Christina Vernon was absolutely amazing. She answered all of our questions and helped us through the difficult time. She made me feel better knowing that Zeus was at home surrounded by his family. Thank you Dr. Christina for making the process a little bit easier on us.
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 was such a compassionate doctor. She could clearly see our baby girl Lyla was suffering and felt the pain we were experiencing. She made every step of the journey possible for us to endure. The after care we received was by far more then words could describe. When she brought our baby back home as we crumbled in tears she comforted us. We were so overwhelmed as we shared where we took her for a final rest. A place near and dear to our heart. She now overlooks Napa Vallet in Penngrove where she runs free with the cows, turkeys, deer and llamas. Out Lyla will be missed but she made our decision for home end of life bearable. Thank you from the bottom of our souls.
Dr. Christina Vernon was very compassionate and professional when she came to our home to transition our family dog of 15 years. It’s never easy to put down a family pet and, yet, she had an approach that minimized the emotional struggle. Thank you!
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. Vernon was absolutely amazing. She was caring, empathetic, and explained the entire process beforehand. She was so kind to my Nala and I want to thank her for that. This process was so difficult for me and Dr. Vernon was there the entire time to support me.
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.
My family and I had to make the hardest decision of a lifetime, not just for one but two fur babies at the same time, Daisy (15) and Guiness (14). As much as we wanted them to live for a thousand years, their health was declining rapidly. Dr Christina Veron was our earth angel and was there every step of the way! She was very patient and supportive and explained every step of the process to help our fur babies cross over the rainbow bridge. She is one of the most caring veterinarians we have ever met. We can't Thank Dr. Christina enough for everything. Our family may feel a little empty but we are at peace. Thank you for all the love and support at this difficult time.
Dr Vernon was great! We knew it was time to say goodbye, but she took time to discuss the situation and confirmed we were correct, in our assessment of our girl. She allowed us time and didn't rush the process. She also explained everything we needed to know, along the way. Thank you, for making that really hard day a little easier. Brendan and Andrea Austin Peoria, AZ
Christina was amazing. This isn’t an easy job but she made us and Madi feel as comfortable as we all could be. She was so mindful, thoughtful and caring. I am very happy with my decision to go with her than other options. Thank you for being so good, gifting us a pillow to hug, sending us a thoughtful handwritten note, and being such a caring and sweet person. We appreciate you.
I can express that Dr Vernon is an exceptional doctor who delivers first class care to our pets and us owners. Dr Vernon is highly respectful, plus she exhibits total compassion to us and professionalism. Dignity for the pet and family is her prority first and foremost under stressful situations. I am grateful for the wonderful care we received. Thank you.
Dr Christina is awesome! On my worst day, she was very compassionate and gave us the time needed when saying goodbye. We chose to keep our sweet boy, and she provided us with a pamphlet with burial information. I would highly recommend this service.
Dr Christina, was very sweet to my Febe. I wanted Febe's last moments at home with her family. She was a happy girl and she is missed terribly. But this was so much easier for her. Thank You so much for being there for us.
These doctors are angels on earth. Everything that could have been done to make one of the hardest times of my life more bearable was done. My pup and I were shown so much compassion. I truly appreciate what you do.
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 Vernon explained everything that would happen and always gave us time and would double check with us before she continued with the next step. She also handled Shiva with care and dignity after her passing. We are so grateful for Dr Vernon’s help and compassion. Thank you Dr Vernon.
Dr. Christina was the kindest, most compassionate person to help guide us through a very difficult time as we had to put down our beloved golden retriever after 13 wonderful years. She was patient and kind, explained the whole process, and thoughtfully engaged with our dog and us through it all. We are so grateful for her gentle compassion.
Dr. Christina Vernon was absolutely wonderful. She made the process of at home pet euthanasia safe, comfortable and loving. She took great care of our beloved dog Boo and us. She was knowledgeable, thoughtful and compassionate. I cannot thank her enough for making this whole process bearable. Thank you.
Christina was amazing to say the least. She began by sitting down with Tazz and offering her treats to break Tazz’s nervousness with a stranger in her room. Christiana not only comforted Tazz, but us as well with her caring demeanor. She spoke softly and spent time with us …no hurry . Afterwards she wrapped Tazz in a blanket and carried her to her suv which had a nice bed to put her in. About a week later Christina personally brought Tess’s ashes to us. She also followed up with a very nice card. I would highly recommend her services if you looking for a top notch professional to handle your loved ones final minutes…thank you from the bottom of our hearts 💕
Dr. Vernon made this very difficult time so much easier for us. We are so grateful for the patience, compassion and kindness she showered on us.
Dr. Christina is a God send in the center of such a sad time in our lives. She was extremely caring, patient and double checked we were absolutely sure this is what we wanted to do. She was so sweet to my fur baby in all her last moments. I know this is never a decision anyone wants to make, but if having to for the sake of your sweet fur babies I absolutely recommend Dr. Christina. We got a beautiful urn back of our baby and a keepsake of her paw that brought tears to my eyes the second I saw it.
Dr. Christina Vernon was outstanding. She was thoughtful, compassionate and truly made this extremely heartbreaking decision bearable. She was very patient and gave us time with our Boo. We truly appreciate her and are completely grateful. Thank you.
Dr. Christina was exceptional, caring, and compassionate during the passing of our beloved Sadie. Ww truly appreciated the calm and comforting manner during the entire process. Thank you Dr. Christina.
Dr Vernon helped us through the difficult decision and process of helping our beautiful dog pass peacefully in our home. The experience was very calm and respectful.
Dr. Vernon was caring and compassionate. She did a beautiful job helping me w/Molly Mae's passing. I passed along your company to Petco's Manager in Glendale. He had not heard of your service and was interested in checking it out. Thanks, Gloria Moscarello
The hardest times in life are losing charished pets . We had to let go our kitty after almost 18 years. Dr Vernon was our chosen professional to help us with this step of letting go. Thank You for your care and compassion at our time of need.
Dr. Vernon was so compassionate during her visit to let our sweet boy, Gunner, cross the rainbow bridge. It was in the privacy of our own backyard & incredibly peaceful for him. No anxious car ride to go lie on a cold clinic floor. I highly encourage anyone, who has to make this difficult decision, to choose in home pet euthanasia not only for your pet but for yourself too ❤️
Dr Vernon was very compassionate and gave me plenty of time to say goodbye to my beloved Mello. I would recommend her to my family and friends.
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.
Dr. Christina was gentle and very clear in explaining how the procedure would proceed including the medications and how they would affect Georgie. When the time was right she injected the final med and Georgie passed without pain. Thank you for the care you provide to owners and pets.
She comforted us nad made us feel at ease with the hard decision of euthanization. She was so warm and friendly. She was thoughtful, sent my son a coloring book and a card for us letting us know even though it was a hard choice it was what was best for our dog. Thank you
Dr Christina was the best I could hope for, she made it easier to do what had to be done! Thank you Christina for helping me with my two best friends of 14 years you are a godsend
Dr. Christina Vernon was incredibly empathetic to our needs, emotions, and most importantly, our pet. The process was as perfect as I could have hoped for. Our beloved pet passed away under euthanasia peacefully and his last conscious moment was surrounded by us giving him tons of treats, pets, and love. I cannot recommend Dr. Vernon enough.
Dr. Vernon was extremely patient and compassionate during this very difficult time. She made saying goodbye to our dog about as good as it was ever going to be.
Dr. Vernon was very professional and I know that Loki was as comfortable as he could be. I appreciated her being able to show up on short notice and the care she showed my buddy.
Dr. Christina was amazing throughout the process. She was very compassionate knowing how sad our family to say goodbye to our 16 year old Mini Schnauzer, Pepper. She explained everything and provided us the best care we could have asked for. We had an in-home pet euthanasia before by another vet, but it did not provide the extra care as we felt we received this time. Thank you for your kindness during this sad time.
Dr. Christy was an angel. She handled my baby boy Ash so well and while it was difficult to let him go she made the event very personal and beautiful. I’m sure he appreciated her kindness and my family appreciated her as well. More people should look into this as a peaceful and personal tribute to the end of life experience. Thank you so very much.
Dr Veron has been our dogs vet for many years. It was a pleasure for us to have her there to send our dog to her final rest. It was a very good experience. So peaceful.
Dr Vernon was amazing! She started our entire sad event ansking us questions about our dog and our memories of when he was younger. then she helped us gently put him to sleep. She took care of our mental states just as much as she helped our dog end his pain.
She was very personable and caring of our loss. Beau was our beautiful husky. So loyal and kind. Christina was very patient and understanding of our pain and how much we loved our Beau.
Christina was so good with Febe.. I could not have asked for a more compassionate person to take care of her. She became a friend to Febe and showed her love. I appreciate the love that Christina has for my girl.
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. Vernon is wonderful and kind. We’ve unfortunately had to put two of our puppies down within the last few months and both times Dr. Vernon was here to assist us. Staying at home for euthanasia for our two dogs was the best decision we could have made. We highly recommend Dr. Vernon for her professionalism, compassion and care.
Dr. Vernon was compassionate and genuinely cared about me and the comfort of my Pepper. I am so thankful that she was able and available to come to my home. Pepper would he so anxious having to go to the groomer or vet and to have her final day to be at home not scared and made comfortable gives me comfort and peace. There is more that I could say but it is still hard. I would recommend codapet and Dr. Vernon, such a wonderful and caring person.
Makes me wonder if one of reasons losing a furry family member is so different from the loss of a human member is the way we communicate. With animals, it's heavily emotion whether words or actions and with humans, it's logic, emotion, words and action making it a little easier (?) to communicate...Needless to say, just coming to the decision no words can describe what it takes. The word "euthanasia" has a heavy connotation and weight so instead, peaceful release in a safe space. The love of my life had been with me 19 years and coming to the decision to provide his release, well, nothing can describe that in words. Dr. Christina was kind, showed my baby respect and attempted to offer some solace. I was able to release my baby, in my arms, thanks to Dr. Christina.
Dr. Christine was arrived right on time. She was very caring and loving during the visit. She was not rushed and allowed us the time to grief with our dog in the process. She made a terrible experience as perfect as possible High recommend Christine!!
Where do I start? Dr Christina is truly a phenomenal human and was absolutely the Dr I needed to assist me with saying goodbye to my girl. She communicated with me throughout the day and when I felt the shift in my dog, I sent her a video of her breathing and Dr Christina stopped what she was doing (at night I might add), and came to help my girl cross the rainbow bridge, so she didn’t have to suffer throughout the night. I truly couldn’t have asked for a sweeter, kinder person to help me through the whole process.
Very caring and thoughtful during this difficult time. She was very supportive and gentle. Thank you very much for making such an emotional and terrible decision a little better.
Saying goodbye to my dog was really hard, and Dr. Vernon was so kind, and so caring. Nothing can make that experience easy, but her compassion was apparent, and her care for both my dog Willow and for ME was much appreciated.
Dr. Vernon was absolutely amazing! She is very gentle, kind, compassionate, professional and extremely sweet and understanding of our feelings.
Dr. Christina Vernon was very soothing and gentle with our Sammie. She was very considerate of how hard this was for us as well, explaining every step.
During one of the most difficult times for our family, Dr. Vernon could not have been more professional, sympathetic and sincere. Her kind heart and gentle manner were a true comfort for our family as we had to say our hardest goodbye. Bless you, Christina, for all that you do and for the compassion that you shared with us all.
Dr Vernon is warm,compassionate and empathetic. She reassure me that I was making the right decision and validated all my concerns. She was so gentle and loving to Bella and me. I would recommend her to anyone!
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!
On June 30,2025, we had to have Dr. Christina come to our home for our final day with our beloved "Tom". He was truly our family for 11 years. Dr. Christina was amazing and understanding. We are so grateful for her and how lovely she treated our boy. We have been referring everyone we know to Codapet and Dr Cristina. We miss Tom so much, but thankful for her services...... Allen and Lynn
We are so grateful to have found Dr. Christina. She is kind, caring, compassionate and we cannot recommend her enough. She made the whole process a lot less scary than we imagined it would be. She treated our fur baby as if he was her own.
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
This was my first experience having to put a pet down. Dr.Christina V. was so patient and kind. She had such calming Ora about her! It was so peaceful for my Daisy may. She deserved peace at her old age. Me and my husband are Soooooo happy with our choice of choosing Codapet.com. If there was a 10 star option we would choose it! Thank you again Dr. Christina
Dr. Christina was amazing. She's took very good care of our baby. It was a really hard time but she made it a smooth transition. No one ever wants to go through this, I wouldn't have done it any other way. I really loved that my baby was able to leave this Earth at home in his own bed without the added stress of going to the vet office. I would highly recommend Dr. Christina
Richard Parker, Little Richie. 2013-2024 We had to say goodbye to our sweet boy on the same day 11 years later September 4 2024. Dr Vernon made this excruciating day very peaceful as we helped our suffering boy home. She was very compassionate, patient and kind. I would highly recommend this in home service and certainly Dr Vernon in your time of need. 💔❤️
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.
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.
Our fifteen-year-old Aussie had lost the use of his rear legs and was confused and struggling. And as much as we hoped he would be okay on a gut level we knew it was his time. We had called five or six vets and all of them were overbooked and seemingly indifferent to what we were going through. They all referred us to emergency vet clinics that stated they had no appointment system and they would get to us when they could. Our boy deserved better. Admittedly, I had never heard of in home pet euthanasia but anything seemed like a better option than sitting in a cold, sterile examination room. Our boy hated going to the vet and I didn't want his last moments to be filled with fear. Using CodaPet's website I made a same-day appointment for that afternoon. Dr. Christina Vernon did an outstanding job of comforting us in the most troubling of circumstances. She was on-time, kind, compassionate, gentle, and understood what we were going through. She explained the process in depth and didn't proceed until we were ready. He died peacefully laying in his favorite spot with my wife and I comforting him. He was the most loving dog I've ever known and it was soooo important that his final moments reflected how much he was loved. Dr. Christine allowed that to happen. He had a peaceful, loving death. Thank you!!!! I wholeheartedly encourage anyone struggling with the end to consider Dr. Christina and CodaPet. We chose cremation and received his ashes back in a beautiful box with a fantastic paw print.
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
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.
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.
Dr. Christina was the kindest, most compassionate person to help guide us through a very difficult time as we had to put down our beloved golden retriever after 13 wonderful years. She was patient and kind, explained the whole process, and thoughtfully engaged with our dog and us through it all. We are so grateful for her gentle compassion.
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.
We had in home pet euthanasia with Dr. Christina Vernon on 11-19-24. This was so hard to do, but having it done in our own home where our Last was most comfortable and our other dog can understand and say goodbye to his buddy. Dr Vernon was absolutely amazing, so calm, sweet, understanding and had a lot of patience. Explained everything very well and was just a beautiful person!
Dr Christine was amazing. This was a very last minute decision to have Hank transition was incredibly heavy on my heart but her confirmation made my decision feel much better. Her kindness and compassion is so evident when you first meet her. She truly wears her heart on her sleeves and has the utmost respect and best interest for those involved. I love that my boy Hank gave her kisses and showed him her his favorite game before he peacefully passed away in my arms. She braved the cold morning of being outside with with us and I am so thankful that she walked into our lives. Thank you Codapet for making this mindful decision happen with communication and Grace.
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.
Dr. Christina was so wonderful. She was patient with us and gave us as much time as we needed saying goodbye to our pup. She was gentle with her throughout the entire process and explained everything thoroughly so we weren't taken by surprise
She was an absolute angel. She was very kind to my baby Ash and treated him with dignity and helped him to cross over to the Rainbow Bridge with his loving family next to him throughout the ordeal. We could not have had a better experience.
Dr. Christina Vernon was amazing through this horrible process. She was so patience, Max left to doggy heaven happy but leaving us with our hearts broken.💔Thank you for being kind and being with our big boy through his last moments. Thank you for the follow up card🩷 RIP my big boy Max!! 😭
Even tho this is a time that was very hard and stressful for me, She made the whole experience so peaceful. She was kind and didn’t make us feel rushed or push us. She assured us and made sure to examine Lulu to be sure the time was right. The extra care she put and gave my Lulu in her last moments were so appreciated. We will be forever grateful for the peaceful passing she provide for your forever loved Lulu. 💕 we made the right decision going with her.
Christina made the experience of transitioning our little maltipoo Joey over the rainbow bridge as easy as possible. We cannot thank her enough for her compassion and expertise. It was the most peaceful passing for him and we would recommend her services anytime.
Dr. Vernon assisted us in making the hardest decision we’ve had to make - knowing the time to assist our fuzzy friend to peacefully pass away before he had additional pain and suffering. She was kind and compassionate, and was wonderful to our dog.
We booked our vet the morning of and she was incredibly attentive and informative. I highly recommend CodaPet and Dr. Christina Vernon for quality end of life care. Thank you for everything:)
Dr Christina is so kind and caring. We recently had Dr Christina at our home, She is so professional, yet so caring. Highly recommend.
Christina was absolutely wonderful, caring , compassionate- I could go on and on. She walked us thru everything, made sure we understood what was to happen and answered any and all questions. One of the best decisions we’ve made to have this happen in the comfort of our home for our special boy!
Dr. Christina Vernon provided an extraordinary service during one of the most difficult moments of my life. When it was time to say goodbye to my beloved Toby, her compassion, professionalism, and gentle approach turned a heartbreaking experience into one of peace and dignity. From the initial contact to her follow-up care, every interaction with Dr. Christina Vernon demonstrated her genuine understanding of the bond between pets and their families. She took the time to explain every step with kindness, allowing me to focus on my final moments with Toby. The environment she created was calm and respectful, ensuring Toby felt safe and loved to the very end. Her communication after the service has been just as thoughtful—answering questions, providing information, and supporting me through this transition. This level of care, coupled with her willingness to help in every way, speaks volumes about her dedication to her patients and their families. I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Christina Vernon to anyone seeking compassionate in-home veterinary care. Her service is a gift during the most vulnerable times, and I will always be grateful for the care she gave Toby and the support she offered me.
We recently had to say goodbye to our beloved older dog Carson. Dr. Christina was patient, professional, and loving. I appreciated her so very much. It's hard to lose a pet but Dr. Christina helped us through. Thank you, Dr. Christina.
Dr Christina was an angel. I had my Chi Chi cat for 19 years , it was hard to let him go. She was kind, patient, and caring through the difficult process. Thank you Dr Christina Vernon.
It was such a difficult decision to put my baby to sleep. I knew I wanted to do it at home and not at the vet clinic. The clinic had a flyer on Codapet which was very helpful. Dr. Christina Vernon was the one who came out. She was in touch with me before she came, she took all the time I needed while she was here. She was very compassionate and caring for myself and my baby which I really appreciated as I was very emotional. When needed again, I will definitely call Codapet and Dr. Vernon. She was wonderful.
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.
This was the first time I've had someone come to the house to put one of my fur babies to rest.. Our "Big Boy" Rocco passed peacefully with my husband and I and the compassionate assistance of Dr. Christina Vernon. I was so glad I did not have to put Rocco through the stress of moving him and Dr. Vernon made the transition peaceful. I would definitely use her services in the future. A huge Thank You to CodaPet's Dr. Christina ❤Vernon.
This was our second time using codapet sadly. However she is a very caring vet and when it is time for our other fur babies. We will use codapet again.
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.
