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. Neri showed so much compassion when it was time for us to say good bye to our beloved family member. She was available last minute and was caring the entire time. We really appreciate how she handled everything so seamlessly.

Review by Dr. Kelly Neri

Dr. Kelly was early which gave our family and pet time to acclimate to her presence. She was patience as one of my children were behind schedule. My pet warmed up to her quickly and the cheese whiz didn't hurt lol. Dr. Kelly explained everything she was going to do before she did it. She gave us plenty of time to spend and snuggle with our pet. The process did not feel rushed. She was so kind, considerate and compassionate. Our family was very grateful for her expertise during this time. Thank you again Dr. Kelly!!!

Review by Dr. Kelly Neri

Dr Neri was the absolute best at such a sad time. She gave us space to spend the last moments with our cat on our own and made everything go so smoothly. I wish I hadn't had to use her services but she made an awful situation the best it could be. I cannot recommend her highly enough.

Dr. Kelly Neri was wonderful. I had expressed concern about giving Pikachu his sedative too fast and causing him to flinch, as had happened with another cat at a hospital, and she understood our concern and was so gentle and kind. She had my daughter offer him a Churu treat which she allowed him to enjoy for some time before slowly injecting the sedative. He quickly fell asleep with no pain at all. After then, she injected the euthanasia agent. He had no pain and no discomfort. Doing this in our home, on the couch of his choice, meant he had no stress, no metal tables or yapping dogs to disturb him and cause him anxiety. I plan to hire Dr. Neri again when it is time for my other cat to go. We all miss Peaky terribly, but know we made the right choice in using Dr. Kelly Neri and CodaPet.

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.
