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
There are no words to describe how kind, compassionate, understanding, and overall amazing Dr. Natalie Dennis was. I work with animals so I fully understand how hard her job is offering euthanasia services, it can take an emotional toll on anyone, but she handles it so gracefully making sure not only your fur baby but you are also comfortable and okay during the entire process. It is extremely difficult to make this decision for your pet but making this decision with Dr. Dennis was the best thing I could’ve done for my old lady❤️ thank you Dr. Dennis for caring so much. We will never forget everything that you did
We have lost two family members this past year. Our first loss was performed at an emergency clinic and very stressful for us and our loved one. Facing this situation again, we reached out to CodaPet and Dr. Natalie Dennis. Her in home service, her compassion and expertise made this horrible time so less stressful for us and our loved one. Thank you Dr. Dennis, you are amazing.
She was so understanding and thoughtful for the caring of our pet that needed to cross the rainbow bridge. She even contacted us after to see how we were and Madisons brother. She was absolutely amazing
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 can’t begin to express how grateful we are to CodaPet and Dr. Natalie Dennis for making one of the hardest moments of our lives so much more peaceful and comforting. When it came time to say goodbye to our beloved dog Tedi after 16 beautiful years, we were devastated, but Dr. Dennis showed such incredible compassion and care. She was not only professional, but she truly understood the emotional weight of the moment. She took the time to explain everything and answered all of our questions, making us feel completely at ease with the process. The fact that they came to our home made all the difference. We were able to be in the comfort of our own space, surrounded by familiar sights and smells, which made saying goodbye just a little bit easier. Dr. Dennis spent as much time as we needed with Tedi, letting us say our goodbyes and offering us the comfort of knowing that Tedi was being treated with the utmost respect and dignity. The level of care, compassion, and professionalism that CodaPet and Dr. Dennis showed during this incredibly difficult time will never be forgotten. If you’re ever in this heart-wrenching situation, we cannot recommend their services enough. They truly make a painful process as peaceful as it can possibly be. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
"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.
