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 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.

Review by Dr. Kelly Neri

We used Dr. Neri in September 2024 for the first time when we had to say goodbye to our fur baby. She was wonderful to work with, empathetic and kind. When it came time to call someone for our other fur baby during the holidays, Dr. Neri happened to be the vet available again. I didn't expect her to remember us, but she did, and she was just as empathetic and kind as she was the first time. She walked us through the process, gave us time to cuddle our babies, and helped our fur babies feel comfortable, spoiled, and loved as they crossed the rainbow bridge. We are truly grateful to have had such a sweet spirit assist our babies with their final journey.

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!!!

Thank you for driving out to us so our sweet Iris could be at home with us when she passed. She hated going to the vet so being at home allowed her to be comfortable and where she belonged.

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.

Review by Dr. Kelly Neri

10/10, will absolutely call them for all our pets in the future. The booking process, handling of our pet's remains, and the kindness, compassion, and care shown by the company was so far beyond what I expected. Our 17yo kitty declined in health practically overnight. She was good, then all-of-the-sudden she wasn't. We wanted her to be as comfortable and surrounded by love as possible, so we looked up at-home options. I'll never do it any other way now. Our Doctor was Dr. Kelly Neri, and I can't sing her praises enough. She was very adaptive to our and our kitty's needs. She made her so comfortable and carried her out after in a beautiful little basket with care and dignity. She seemed to know exactly when we needed a moment to grieve, she didn't rush or pressure us with anything. And she got us a perfect little imprint of her paw. Our kitty crossed the bridge in her own bed and we didn't have to do the hellish drive from the vet's office after. Afterwards, Codapet contacted our vet, and they handled our kitty's remains, delivering her in a beautiful little urn directly to us. Dr. Neri even sent a very thoughtful card after. The cost was less than we had to pay for our dog a few years ago, and overall the experience was as not-terrible as it could have been. They never once asked for a review, and I almost never write reviews. But this company has been so amazing during this time and I want to assure any pet owners that are looking at options that this is an excellent one. I am so grateful for this organization and especially Dr. Neri. It'll never be an easy hit, but they really softened the blow.
