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
Dr. Natalie Dennis is a kind, caring person which makes her work as an in-home veterinarian so vital to those whose animals cannot make the trip to the vet across town because of health or mobility issues. Dr. Dennis facilitated the euthanizing of our 90 pound dear German Shepherd who had cancer. The process was peaceful and quiet. She cared not only for the dog, but for the humans who would dearly miss him. If you need to think about euthanizing your animal, though it is hard to do, Dr. Dennis achieved this task with grace.
Dr. Dennis was amazing in helping our beautiful 18 year old boy cross the rainbow bridge. She was kind, gentle, patient and explained every step so we'd know what to expect.
Dr Dennis was a real blessing for our family. She was professional, thoughtful and caring. I would recommend her services to anyone who finds themselves in these difficult circumstances. Her kindness and professional demeanor allowed in helping us to bear our loss.
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 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
"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.
