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

As painful as it was putting my Scotty down, it was so meaningful to have Dr Neri giving love, assurance and professionalism while we went through this most difficult time. She gave us time to say goodbye and never made us seemed rushed in anyway. I will forever be grateful that we used CodaPet.

Dr Neri was Sam's previous vet before she joined codapet. I knew from history Dr Neri is a calm, caring, and knowledgeable vet. The process was not easy but Dr. Neri made it so we understood all the steps. She gave us time when we needed it. I can not express how much calmer and less stressful the in home process was compared to going to a vet. Sam was treated with respect every step of the way.

Dr. Kelly was so nice and amazing! She peacefully let Seraphina my cat go. I was there with her and I made a very brave decision. Thank you for taking good care of my sweet baby for the very end! Highly recommend!

Dr. Neri was absolutely wonderful! From the moment she entered our home, we felt completely at ease. She was calm, quiet and very respectful of the situation. She answered our questions and concerns with compassion and kindness. It was a very emotional experience for us and she was very supportive. Making the decision concerning our sweet Gracie girl was very difficult, but I am confident it was the best decision. We appreciate Dr. Neri and would definitely recommend her!

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. Kelly Neri is truly one of a kind. She was incredibly gentle and compassionate in allowing us to say a beautiful goodbye to our wonderful pup Roscoe in Jan 2025, who let us know on his final day that he was ready for his next journey. Roscoe also loved Dr. Neri's fleece jacket, which is lied down on for comfort. We will always be grateful for her loving care.
