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 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 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.
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.
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.
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.
