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

I am very thankful for Dr. Kelly and providing a service to come to my home for us and Daisy. She was extremely professional and warm as she helped guide us through the process and giving us the space to say goodbye.

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.

Dr Neri was wonderful. She was a kind and calming presence during a very difficult time. It was a peaceful process at home and I’m so happy we did that vs going to the vets office .

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.

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.
