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
Dr. Kelly Neri provided excellent service for our pet cat Lily. She was compassionate, knowledgeable, and professional. Dr. Neri provided a relaxed atmosphere that comforted our family during this time of transistion and loss of Lily. We are grateful and pleased that we chose Dr. Neri.
Dr. Kelly Neri was so kind and compassionate. She was immensely patient with my wife and I. Dr. Neri let us take the time to play with Annie before starting the process, which she was also very patient throughout. After the euthanasia, she let us spend extra time holding Annie, getting some of her prints, and letting us say some final words before removing her from the home. Dr. Neri was truly attentive and gentle, and overall helped us get through this unbearable situation.
Dr Neri was wonderful. She was a kind and calming presence during a very difficult time. It was a peaceful process at home and I’m so happy we did that vs going to the vets office .
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.
Kind, caring, committed to the best ending my boy could have. Arrived on time, professional. An extremely sad time for me, met with compassion. My vet sent a card later. Follow up emails. Very well done. Easy to schedule online. A sad, but much needed and appreciated service.
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
