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.

one of the hardest decisions we ever had to make as a family was made so much easier with the love compassion and professionalism that was shown to us by Dr Neri. We are so grateful for her support. I would highly recommend Dr Neri to any family who finds themselves in a similar situation.

Dr. Neri’s compassion and expertise made the passing of our cat very peaceful. We appreciated her willingness to work with our family’s schedules to enable more members to be present. We are very appreciative for all she did to make the process easier for us and our cat.

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. 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 had a very calm presence, and was so soothing to our sweet Maddox in his final moments. As hard as it is to walk through the room where he took his last breath, it was a blessing that he could be in the comfort of his home, with the lights dimmed and the fire on. Dr. Kelly started communicating with us as soon as I submitted the appointment request. She walked us through the process, and was careful, diligent, and compassionate. I would highly recommend having her guidance during such a difficult time.
