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 is truly an angel. She recently helped me through the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do—saying goodbye to my beloved baby, Luna. Dr. Neri came to my home, which made an incredibly difficult experience just a little more bearable. She explained everything with such care and gentleness, making sure I understood the process and what was best for Luna. Before the scheduled day, she reached out to me personally, asking if I had any questions and wanting to know more about Luna. That level of compassion showed me just how much she truly cares about both her patients and the families she supports. On the day of, her calm and empathetic presence was exactly what I needed. She treated Luna with love and respect, and that meant the world to me. I can’t express how grateful I am for Dr. Neri’s kindness and professionalism. She made an unbearable situation just a little easier, and I will always be thankful for that.

Dr. Neri was so kind, compassionate, and respectful to our family during such a difficult time. It’s a heartbreaking decision to make but when you have a vet like Dr. Neri helping you, it certainly brought us some peace and comfort. We could not have asked for a more calm and loving farewell to our beloved kitty.

Our connection with Dr Neir was one of compassion and empty. Our initial contact was to address any questions we had as a family . When arriving to the house her first thoughts were for Naboo to make sure we kept her as come, relaxed reducing any anxiety knowing that there would be someone new in the house. Dr Neir first engaged with Naboo and said we could take a much time as needed for us and Naboo. This was very comforting for our family and wants to thank Dr Neri for keep such good care of Naboo in this time. Thank you for being kind and thinking of our family with the steps you took to make this a peaceful transfer. The Pecks

Dr. Kelly was early which gave our family and pet time to acclimate to her presence. She was patience as one of my children were behind schedule. My pet warmed up to her quickly and the cheese whiz didn't hurt lol. Dr. Kelly explained everything she was going to do before she did it. She gave us plenty of time to spend and snuggle with our pet. The process did not feel rushed. She was so kind, considerate and compassionate. Our family was very grateful for her expertise during this time. Thank you again Dr. Kelly!!!

We used Dr. Neri in September 2024 for the first time when we had to say goodbye to our fur baby. She was wonderful to work with, empathetic and kind. When it came time to call someone for our other fur baby during the holidays, Dr. Neri happened to be the vet available again. I didn't expect her to remember us, but she did, and she was just as empathetic and kind as she was the first time. She walked us through the process, gave us time to cuddle our babies, and helped our fur babies feel comfortable, spoiled, and loved as they crossed the rainbow bridge. We are truly grateful to have had such a sweet spirit assist our babies with their final journey.
