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

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.

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

When you find yourself in an exam room at the emergency vet unexpectedly knowing you're going to have to say goodbye soon to your best friend, the last thing you want is to deal with logistics and scheduling and decision making. Our vet made it easy for us, hanging us a few brochure for vets that would come to our home - including CodaPet. We spoke with a triage person who set us up with a morning appointment with Dr. Neri so that we could have one last night together as a family. Dr. Neri was kind, considerate, and respectfully communicated timelines and what to expect. We prepared a place in our yard for Dizzy so that he could pass outside in one of his favorite places. Of course it started to rain as we were getting ready for those final moments but Dr. Neri was patient and flexible working with us as we didn't want to put him through the pain of relocating again at that point. Dr. Neri knew that we were uncertain we'd be able to make it all the way through the night before and offered to keep her phone on by her bed in case we needed her to come early. Fortunately we didn't, but what a relief to know she was willing to. Dizzy was comfortable with her and their interactions at the end. She was patient with our other dogs, and assisted us in one of the toughest times of our lives. We'll always be grateful.

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

Dr Neri was the absolute best at such a sad time. She gave us space to spend the last moments with our cat on our own and made everything go so smoothly. I wish I hadn't had to use her services but she made an awful situation the best it could be. I cannot recommend her highly enough.
