Why I provide at-home pet euthanasia
I offer in-home euthanasia because I care deeply not just for animals, but for the people who love them. Being invited into this sacred moment within the comfort of a family's home, allows me to honor the human-animal bond in the most compassionate way possible. I believe every pet deserves to pass peacefully at-home, free from fear or pain, and every family deserves comfort, clarity, and dignity during this very difficult goodbye. By helping pet owners recognize the loving choice in ending suffering, I’m here to support and empower them through one of life’s hardest decisions with gentleness, presence, and peace.

What pet parents are saying
We had hoped that our beloved “pup,” Bella would pass peacefully in her sleep but it was evident she was struggling and in pain. She had lived for 15 years, 2 months, and 4 days and gave us all the joy and love she had. We needed to understand that we, in turn needed to love her enough to send her on her next journey. It was time to seek in home pet euthanasia. Bella’s veterinarian only performed euthanasia in her clinic and recommended Dr. Natalie Dennis at CodaPet. We made an appointment for the next day. It is certain that Dr. Natalie Dennis is an “angel,” she made us feel as comfortable as possible with our decision. She took the time with us that we needed. She explained the procedure and went through each step in detail that would make sure Bella would pass peacefully. She answered all of our questions. Dr. Dennis was compassionate and gentle with our Bella. We believe it was providence that sent Dr. Natalie Dennis to us. Dr. Natalie Dennis, DVM is absolutely phenomenal. If you ever have to make this decision, we highly recommend her. She gets many more than five stars from us.
For those that have had to consider euthanasia for their beloved pet, it is one of the most difficult decisions to make. Unfortunately, we had to make this decision and were looking for a way to have the procedure performed at home so that our beloved girl could leave this earth in her own bed surrounded by those that love her and provide us the peace of mind of knowing that she felt no pain in the process. We were fortunate to have found the CodaPet service (www.codapet.com). They provide “in home pet euthanasia” services for your dog or cat. Once you select the details of your beloved pet, a veterinarian is assigned for your local area and they come and visit you at your house to perform the procedure. We were so honored and blessed to have been assigned Dr. Natalie Dennis. She truly is a loving and dedicated pet parent, who explained that she was inspired to perform these services because of having a difficult time in the past with one of her pet children. She was extremely kind, caring and gentle, not only with our beloved girl, but with us and our other dogs and took the time to get to know her, and us as well. She got us laughing and remembering some wonderful times we had with her. When the time arrived, she performed the procedure and our girl quietly drifted away like so many afternoon naps. She looked so peaceful and content when she passed over the rainbow bridge. We are so thankful and grateful for Dr. Natalie and the service she performed. She made the difficult decision that much easier. We hope and pray that others will support her in her mission to provide a compassionate and tranquil exit to pet parents of their beloved pets.
I cannot recommend thank Dr. Natalie Dennis enough for her exceptional kindness and compassion during one of the most difficult times in our lives. She was incredibly gentle and caring not only to us but also to Ranger our beloved German Shepherd, making the process of saying goodbye as peaceful as possible. I would highly recommend her to any pet parents having to go through this process. We're forever grateful for her support and care.
We hired Dr. Dennis Natalie for Tobys at-home pet euthanasia, and she was truly heaven-sent. She is such a kind and compassionate individual, carrying a calming and comforting energy that made an incredibly difficult experience much more bearable. Her patience, understanding, and empathy were evident throughout the entire process. She treated our beloved pet with the utmost care and respect, while also providing us with the support we needed during such an emotional time. I highly recommend at-home pet euthanasia for any pet parent facing this heartbreaking decision. Being in the comfort of our home brought a sense of peace and made the process of saying goodbye more gentle and meaningful. Thanks to Dr. Dennis Natalie, our mourning was made more manageable, and we’ll always be grateful for her presence during this time. God bless you Natalie. Thank you CodaPet for existing ❤️
Dr. Natalie Dennis is a phenomenal caregiver and with the best bedside manner for animals I’ve ever observed. Her compassion is only matched by her empathy. She made the hardest possible day somewhat bearable. I would recommend her to anyone who is going through the difficult task of saying goodbye to a pet.
Natalie Dennis, DVM, with CodaPet came to my house in Las Cruces and helped gently transition my beloved 12-year-old Labrador retriever. She was incredibly knowledgeable, skilled, and well equipped, as well as compassionate with my girl and empathetic to me. I've now outlived four dogs in my life, and this experience was by far the least emotionally painful and most caring and respectful. Thank you so much Natalie for all your support in what was such a trying time for me.
