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. 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.
Kind, caring, committed to the best ending my boy could have. Arrived on time, professional. An extremely sad time for me, met with compassion. My vet sent a card later. Follow up emails. Very well done. Easy to schedule online. A sad, but much needed and appreciated service.
10/10, will absolutely call them for all our pets in the future. The booking process, handling of our pet's remains, and the kindness, compassion, and care shown by the company was so far beyond what I expected. Our 17yo kitty declined in health practically overnight. She was good, then all-of-the-sudden she wasn't. We wanted her to be as comfortable and surrounded by love as possible, so we looked up at-home options. I'll never do it any other way now. Our Doctor was Dr. Kelly Neri, and I can't sing her praises enough. She was very adaptive to our and our kitty's needs. She made her so comfortable and carried her out after in a beautiful little basket with care and dignity. She seemed to know exactly when we needed a moment to grieve, she didn't rush or pressure us with anything. And she got us a perfect little imprint of her paw. Our kitty crossed the bridge in her own bed and we didn't have to do the hellish drive from the vet's office after. Afterwards, Codapet contacted our vet, and they handled our kitty's remains, delivering her in a beautiful little urn directly to us. Dr. Neri even sent a very thoughtful card after. The cost was less than we had to pay for our dog a few years ago, and overall the experience was as not-terrible as it could have been. They never once asked for a review, and I almost never write reviews. But this company has been so amazing during this time and I want to assure any pet owners that are looking at options that this is an excellent one. I am so grateful for this organization and especially Dr. Neri. It'll never be an easy hit, but they really softened the blow.
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’s compassion and expertise made the passing of our cat very peaceful. We appreciated her willingness to work with our family’s schedules to enable more members to be present. We are very appreciative for all she did to make the process easier for us and our cat.
Dr. Neri promptly arrived and called ahead of time to let us know she was on her way to our house. She was incredibly compassionate and professional. Our Roscoe even moved and laid on her soft fleece jacket without any objection from her. She was a true comfort in an incredibly difficult moment for me and my wife. I would recommend Dr. Neri without reservation for your loved pet and family.
