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.

Review by Dr. Kelly Neri

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. 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. 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.

Dr. Kelly was so nice and amazing! She peacefully let Seraphina my cat go. I was there with her and I made a very brave decision. Thank you for taking good care of my sweet baby for the very end! Highly recommend!

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.
