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
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
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.
Dr. Neri was exactly what we needed for this difficult process. She was a compassionate, kind, and patient guide and we were so grateful for her service.
We had to contact CodaPet unexpectedly and were able to have Dr. Kelly Neri come to our house for in home pet euthanasia within 12 hours. Dr. Neri was lovely and made the process a little easier. Having our sweet kitty Astor be able to stay in a comfortable environment was priceless.
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.
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.
