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.

I had to make the very difficult decision to put my sweet pup dog Ava to rest. She was diagnosed with a mammary tumor back in July 2024. I searched around for a local in home euthanasia and scheduled with Dr. Kelly Neri. I then canceled early that morning hoping I could have one last weekend. Unfortunately she wasn't able to keep any food or water down and I contacted Dr. Kelly late Friday near midnight. I'll forever be grateful to you for going out of your way late on a cold night to help Ava finally be at piece without suffering. Thank you again for you and your son being so kind and compassionate during one of my hardest days having to say goodbye.

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 wonderful. I really appreciated her empathy and compassion, and she helped to reassure me I was doing what was best for my dog. My Lily was able to pass quietly and peacefully in her home and didn't have to endure the stress of going to a vet's office with all the noise and distractions. Thank you.

Thank you for driving out to us so our sweet Iris could be at home with us when she passed. She hated going to the vet so being at home allowed her to be comfortable and where she belonged.

Dr. Neri was the consummate professional. She showed a great deal of compassion not just for us but for our friend Trixie. I highly recommend her.
