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

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

Dr. Kelly Neri was a wonderful, caring, compassionate vet who made our in-home pet euthanasia experience as peaceful as it could be. We loved that she gave Pikachu a Churu treat to lick and let him lick it quite a while before injecting the anesthesia. Dr. Neri knew that we'd had a bad experience with one pet who had the anesthesia admitted too quickly, making him flinch. She was careful to go slowly. Then he quietly lowered his head a bit until she injected more, and he fell asleep peacefully. She caused him no pain whatsoever, and he was receiving love and attention right to the end. When she administered the euthanasia drug he was already sleeping. We are very grateful to her for making this painful experience as good as it could be. I'm also grateful that she had several openings the day we called and we were able to schedule for that day at a time that was convenient for all of us. I'd definitely hire her again.

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 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.
