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

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. 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.

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.

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.
