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 showed so much compassion when it was time for us to say good bye to our beloved family member. She was available last minute and was caring the entire time. We really appreciate how she handled everything so seamlessly.

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.

Dr. Neri was a blessing to our family during the loss of our beloved dog, Roscoe. She was extremely compassionate and caring during the process.

I'm so thankful for the service that CodaPet provides. Dr. Neri was gentle and empathetic. I'm grateful that I was able to give my nearly 15yo Paisley a peaceful passing in our home. Thank you, Dr Kelly Neri, I'm so appreciative of your kind heart!

Review by Dr. Kelly Neri

Our beloved Halo, a full bred Australian Shepherd & who was considered by us a very much loved member of our family was laid to rest by Dr Kelly Neri on Thursday, March 27 2025 at 7:00 PM. My family and I cannot thank Dr Neri enough for her deep compassion, flexibility & lightning speed responses to reschedule due to my husband’s own cancer chemotherapy & radiation appointments, and going far & beyond what my family & I ever imagined an in-home vet would do. About a week prior to Dr Neri’s visit to our home, Halo’s soft tissue sarcoma on her right front leg worsened, she began bleeding from her butt, necessitating doggy diapers etc. Of the many competing in-home vet services, my sister-in-law found Dr Neri & the CodaPet website & I quickly called and spoke to Dana who was also so compassionate & kind as is Olivia, another team member. What my family will always remember about Dr Neri is that she is not on a time table but so very patient & accommodating, such as allowing our entire family, including my 9 year old grandson who took Halo’s passing especially hard, for us to show our love and say our goodbyes to Halo’s earthly passing. We also will never forget that Dr Neri while Halo was under anesthesia told us that Australian Shepherds & German Shepherds are fighters & that sometimes it takes 1/2 hour or longer for them to pass…our beloved Halo passed on to a better place in about 10 minutes…our precious little Halo was ready. In addition, we could see the tears in Dr Neri’s eyes too. As Christians, we saw the same compassion & love that Jesus has for all of his creations & animals too. Moreover, we were concerned about how our only daughter who was already exhausted from digging Halo’s final resting place/grave would be able to carry Halo’s container filled with her favorite toys, Christian contents etc into our backyard following the city of Cary’s burial instructions for pets. Well, Dr Neri helped my daughter for over 1 hour to help her. When I offered Dr Neri to pay her extra for helping my daughter, she declined, saying instead to purchase something for my 2 grandchildren to help them with their grief in no longer having Halo’s unconditional love & earthly presence in their lives… truly, Dr Neri’s goodness is beyond measure. Sincerely, Alexandra & Tom Manning
