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 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 Neri was a wonderful, caring, compassionate vet who made our in-home pet euthanasia experience as peaceful as it could be. We loved that she gave Pikachu a Churu treat to lick and let him lick it quite a while before injecting the anesthesia. Dr. Neri knew that we'd had a bad experience with one pet who had the anesthesia admitted too quickly, making him flinch. She was careful to go slowly. Then he quietly lowered his head a bit until she injected more, and he fell asleep peacefully. She caused him no pain whatsoever, and he was receiving love and attention right to the end. When she administered the euthanasia drug he was already sleeping. We are very grateful to her for making this painful experience as good as it could be. I'm also grateful that she had several openings the day we called and we were able to schedule for that day at a time that was convenient for all of us. I'd definitely hire her again.

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.

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 ❤️

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.
