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 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. 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 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.

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.

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.
