Why I provide at-home pet euthanasia
I was surrounded by various critters at birthday parties and petting farms at the age of five and beyond. Those animals were so fascinating to me (they brought me happiness) along with being hooked on medical and ER shows on television that young. In-home euthanasia is a special service that connects me more deeply into the human-animal-bond in that I genuinely care for people as much as I do animals. I'm 100% there for those saying goodbye to their pets in that I can highlight the silver linings in alleviating the suffering of their beloved companion. A pet owner is their pet's biggest advocate when it comes to deciding on end-of-life and they play the biggest role during such a difficult time. I am able to empower them with peace and dignity through this process.

What pet parents are saying
I am a elderly paraplegic woman who 's Shepard mixed seven yr old Abbi was losing her battle with arthritis and took a turn for the worst on a weekend I did not know where to look for help I found Dr Natalie on line I texted her and she called me back right away she was out of town and I explained my situation and she made the effort to come back into town to see my Abbi Dr . Natalie explained process everything she said she did spoke to me calmed me with her very tender and compassionate way brought comfort to me and most importantly Abbi I can't express how much I will be grateful for the way she took care of Abbi reached out and came back to see me a week later she is a very special person who even made sure my ten year old dog Chase got a little extra attention.I highly recommend Dr Natalie
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.
Words are not enough to describe just how kind, compassionate, knowledgeable, and supportive Dr. Dennis is. This service was a gift. I was able to keep my dog at home free from anxiety of the vet’s office and free from the impressment of crying at the vets office. My fur baby went peacefully and pain-free. If I could give 10 stars I would. Thank you so much Dr. Dennis. You’ll never know how much this meant to me.
Dr Natalie Dennis was very compassionate and understanding in my time of grief. What I expected was that she would come into my home give my best friend a shot or two and then be gone. What actually happened is when she arrived we sat with my buddy as I shared stories of his birth and his 14 years together with me. I shared pictures with her of him and describe to her what made him the best dog a person could ever have. Several times I apologized for taking so much of her time and she always had the same responces, its ok take your time she would say. There is no rush whenever you are ready. He was really an amazing friend to you etc. I never felt rushed and was made to feel that I was in control of the timing throught the process. She told me the cremation would take about a week. The very next day she called to tell me she would be returning my buddy's remains the next day. I would say Dr Natalie Dennis made the experience the best it could possibly be considering the circumstances.
Dr. Dennis was fantastic from the time we made the appointment to the final moments of her taking our pet to the mortuary. She contacted us the day before to let us know she was available to change the appointment time if we needed her earlier than we set up. She also kept in touch with us the day of. When she got to our house she interacted with both of our dogs along with telling us what to expect and to ask any questions at any time. She was so professional and caring to us and our pets. She was so kind to Madison at the end. She is a blessing for helping us during this sad time for us. I would recommend her for anyone that would be in need of a in home passing of their pet.
I cannot 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 our beloved German Shepherd. Ranger, 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.
