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 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.

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.

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 wonderful. My Hugo was the center of my life for so long, and deciding to let him go was very hard. But Dr. Neri was comforting and Hugo's passing was peaceful. Thank you Dr. Neri.

Very nice experience. It was difficult to administer the sedation and euthanasia but Dr. Neri did it. It was difficult to let go but she made it easier.
