Why I provide at-home pet euthanasia
I was surrounded by various critters at birthday parties and petting farms at the age of five and beyond. Those animals were so fascinating to me (they brought me happiness) along with being hooked on medical and ER shows on television that young. In-home euthanasia is a special service that connects me more deeply into the human-animal-bond in that I genuinely care for people as much as I do animals. I'm 100% there for those saying goodbye to their pets in that I can highlight the silver linings in alleviating the suffering of their beloved companion. A pet owner is their pet's biggest advocate when it comes to deciding on end-of-life and they play the biggest role during such a difficult time. I am able to empower them with peace and dignity through this process.

What pet parents are saying
My family can’t thank Doctor Natalie enough when it came to saying goodbye to our cat. We needed this service to ensure no stress or anxiety for him and I couldn’t have asked for him to pass more peacefully. I highly recommend this at-home pet euthanasia service to all.
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 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
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. Natalie Dennis is a phenomenal caregiver and with the best bedside manner for animals I’ve ever observed. Her compassion is only matched by her empathy. She made the hardest possible day somewhat bearable. I would recommend her to anyone who is going through the difficult task of saying goodbye to a pet.
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.
