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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
