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. 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
