Verified Veterinarian
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.

one of the hardest decisions we ever had to make as a family was made so much easier with the love compassion and professionalism that was shown to us by Dr Neri. We are so grateful for her support. I would highly recommend Dr Neri to any family who finds themselves in a similar situation.
She was very calm and respectful to our dear Ozzy. Could not have been any better given the situation. Thank goodness for her being there to help us out during this difficult time.
Dr. Neri was absolutely wonderful! From the moment she entered our home, we felt completely at ease. She was calm, quiet and very respectful of the situation. She answered our questions and concerns with compassion and kindness. It was a very emotional experience for us and she was very supportive. Making the decision concerning our sweet Gracie girl was very difficult, but I am confident it was the best decision. We appreciate Dr. Neri and would definitely recommend her!
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.
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
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 ❤️
