Why I provide at-home pet euthanasia
Having provided end of life care to my own pets both in a hospital setting and at home with their family, I've experienced first hand the difference an at-home euthanasia makes to everyone involved. I am committed to helping pets and their families have as stress-free, dignified, and peaceful passing as possible.

What pet parents are saying
I had to make the very difficult decision to put my sweet pup dog Ava to rest. She was diagnosed with a mammary tumor back in July 2024. I searched around for a local in home euthanasia and scheduled with Dr. Kelly Neri. I then canceled early that morning hoping I could have one last weekend. Unfortunately she wasn't able to keep any food or water down and I contacted Dr. Kelly late Friday near midnight. I'll forever be grateful to you for going out of your way late on a cold night to help Ava finally be at piece without suffering. Thank you again for you and your son being so kind and compassionate during one of my hardest days having to say goodbye.
Our connection with Dr Neir was one of compassion and empty. Our initial contact was to address any questions we had as a family . When arriving to the house her first thoughts were for Naboo to make sure we kept her as come, relaxed reducing any anxiety knowing that there would be someone new in the house. Dr Neir first engaged with Naboo and said we could take a much time as needed for us and Naboo. This was very comforting for our family and wants to thank Dr Neri for keep such good care of Naboo in this time. Thank you for being kind and thinking of our family with the steps you took to make this a peaceful transfer. The Pecks
I am very thankful for Dr. Kelly and providing a service to come to my home for us and Daisy. She was extremely professional and warm as she helped guide us through the process and giving us the space to say goodbye.
Dr. Neri is truly an angel. She recently helped me through the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do—saying goodbye to my beloved baby, Luna. Dr. Neri came to my home, which made an incredibly difficult experience just a little more bearable. She explained everything with such care and gentleness, making sure I understood the process and what was best for Luna. Before the scheduled day, she reached out to me personally, asking if I had any questions and wanting to know more about Luna. That level of compassion showed me just how much she truly cares about both her patients and the families she supports. On the day of, her calm and empathetic presence was exactly what I needed. She treated Luna with love and respect, and that meant the world to me. I can’t express how grateful I am for Dr. Neri’s kindness and professionalism. She made an unbearable situation just a little easier, and I will always be thankful for that.
When you find yourself in an exam room at the emergency vet unexpectedly knowing you're going to have to say goodbye soon to your best friend, the last thing you want is to deal with logistics and scheduling and decision making. Our vet made it easy for us, hanging us a few brochure for vets that would come to our home - including CodaPet. We spoke with a triage person who set us up with a morning appointment with Dr. Neri so that we could have one last night together as a family. Dr. Neri was kind, considerate, and respectfully communicated timelines and what to expect. We prepared a place in our yard for Dizzy so that he could pass outside in one of his favorite places. Of course it started to rain as we were getting ready for those final moments but Dr. Neri was patient and flexible working with us as we didn't want to put him through the pain of relocating again at that point. Dr. Neri knew that we were uncertain we'd be able to make it all the way through the night before and offered to keep her phone on by her bed in case we needed her to come early. Fortunately we didn't, but what a relief to know she was willing to. Dizzy was comfortable with her and their interactions at the end. She was patient with our other dogs, and assisted us in one of the toughest times of our lives. We'll always be grateful.
Dr. Neri was so kind and compassionate. She helped us understand each step of the procedure and made sure our sweet Lily had the most peaceful passing.
