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.
Dr. Dennis was amazing. She demonstrated such love and compassion for both little Opal and I as she helped ease Opals pain and suffering, while also comforting me and my broken heart. I am forever grateful to have had Dr Dennis by my side during such a difficult time. Thank you
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.
Dr. Natalie is beyond amazing. She took the saddest day of our lives and made it special, complete with stories and laughter and just all-around conversation taking us out of the moment but always keeping us present in the reason she was there. My girl was 17 and worked from home with me and we were able to say our goodbyes in our office where she was at home and comfortable and safe and cherished. Thank you, Dr. Natalie for such a confusing experience LOL. Making a hard day easy is by no means an easy task but you accomplished it for us. Thank you
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 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.
