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. Neri promptly arrived and called ahead of time to let us know she was on her way to our house. She was incredibly compassionate and professional. Our Roscoe even moved and laid on her soft fleece jacket without any objection from her. She was a true comfort in an incredibly difficult moment for me and my wife. I would recommend Dr. Neri without reservation for your loved pet and family.

Review by Dr. Kelly Neri

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

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.

Dr. Neri showed so much compassion when it was time for us to say good bye to our beloved family member. She was available last minute and was caring the entire time. We really appreciate how she handled everything so seamlessly.

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.
