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

It was a difficult decision to let my sweet fur baby, Paisley, go. Dr. Neri was helpful and patient as I struggled with the decision over several weeks. When the time came, she was so sweet and gentle with Paisley, and she was caring and empathetic with me. There aren't enough words to express how grateful I am for this service and how thankful I am to Dr. Neri for supporting me and Paisley through this process ❤️

Kelly was very compassionate in her efforts with Alaya and our family. She took extra time to let us know what was happening and was going to happen. Although things didn't go as originally planned, she made sure that all was smooth and thoughtful. All in all , she did an outstanding job and our family is thankful.

Dr Neri was so kind, gentle, and compassionate with us and with Ellie. I’m so glad we chose to make this difficult decision a little easier by doing it in the comfort of our home. Sweet Ellie died peacefully in my arms. There was no rush, no hurry, just love and peace. We will be forever grateful.

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.

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.

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.
