Why I provide at-home pet euthanasia
I offer in-home euthanasia and end-of-life consultations 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
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.
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.
"The absolute worst day was maybe a little better thanks to Dr. Dennis." I've never had to decide to ease my pet's pain and suffering. Let alone for my dog Sassy, who introduced me to my wife and helped us build such a beautiful life and family together. I was back and forth with the decision, but finally got enough courage to make the call to help my friend move on to her next part of life. Dr. Natalie Dennis was absolutely heaven-sent during this decision I had to make. The actual procedure was great, and Sassy was comfortable and was able to pass with dignity and grace in the comfort of her home. The most important thing that needs to be highlighted is the care Dr. Dennis provided me and the family. It felt like welcoming a friend into our home. She was caring and thoughtful and asked to hear stories about Sassy's life. It wasn't an easy decision, but I expected my friend to be taken care of, I didn't expect me and my family to be taken care of and supported in the way she did. A thousand thank yous to Dr. Dennis, truly an angel.
Compassionate option for euthanasia. Dr. Dennis performed the process with efficiency and most of all, with care - for my pet as well as for me personally. Because this was performed in our own home, my dog was relaxed and went to “sleep” naturally and comfortably.
Dr. Dennis was extremely compassionate and kind as she helped us say goodbye to our beloved cat. Our cat had some trouble absorbing the sedation and she was so patient and caring throughout the entire process. Highly recommend her and her services, at-home euthanasia was a much better option than stressing our cat out by putting him in a car to go to an office. He was able to pass peacefully at home where he was comfortable and surrounded by us and our other cats. Very grateful to Dr. Dennis for everything she did to help our cat pass peacefully, and to help our little family process our loss ❤️🩹
We prefer at home euthanasia for all our pets and coming from Dallas we were worried there wouldn't be these types of services in LC. I'm glad we found Dr. Dennis and CodaPet to help us with our 15 yr old gal who wasn't doing too well since she was diagnosed with stage 4 CKD. She was able to pass with us and her fur siblings by her side stress free and comfortable. Thank you for being with us during this difficult time and also assisting with her cremation. We truly appreciated your kindness and compassion for us during that difficult time!
