About Vet
Dr. Natalie Dennis is here to help you honor your pet’s final moments with compassion and care. Raised in Minneapolis, she knew from the age of five that she wanted to become a veterinarian. After earning her DVM from St. Matthew’s University School of Veterinary Medicine in 2017, she completed clinical rotations at the University of Georgia. Over the years, Dr. Dennis has built her career in Denver, Colorado, while expanding her furry family to include three dogs—Bruce, Winnie, and Aslan—and two beloved cats, Alan and Crowbar, the latter rescued from her time in the Cayman Islands. Dr. Dennis deeply understands the emotional weight of saying goodbye to a beloved pet. Her goal is to empower pet owners through this challenging process, helping them make the most loving decision possible. She believes in providing peace, dignity, and support during every step of the journey, treating every pet as if they were her own. Through in-home euthanasia, Dr. Dennis offers families a way to say goodbye in a familiar, comforting environment, free from stress or anxiety. Outside of her professional life, Dr. Dennis enjoys snowboarding, weightlifting, and playing competitive sand volleyball. Staying active helps her stay centered, but her happiest moments are spent with her pets and loved ones. Whether hiking with Bruce, cuddling with Crowbar, or training at the gym, Dr. Dennis finds joy in life’s simple moments and the special bonds she shares with her animals.

Pet euthanasia and cremation pricing in Las Cruces, NM

Your credit card is required to reserve your appointment. However, no payment is required until the appointment and nothing is due until the appointment is completed

We charge cancellation fee of $100 if an appointment is cancelled less than 4 hours before the start time. If your pet passes away before your appointment you would not be charged a cancellation fee. If the vet you scheduled is able, and you would like their assistance with cremation, then pickup fee would apply instead of euthanasia fee

Other Consideration

If you have a larger pet, your vet may need the help of one friend or family member. Talk to your vet about options and limitations when they reach out to you prior to your appointment, and they will inform you of any extra cost for your situation. 

Options for your pets return home and memorabilia depend on your local provider. Your vet coordinate the return of your pet’s ashes and let you know if there are additional fees for urn delivery. 

Extra time or medications needed can affect the total price. Other factors can be if it is decided that it’s not time to euthanize your pet after the vet has arrive. In that case, only the travel fee, platform fee, and a quality of life consult would apply. 

FAQs

The total cost includes the in-home pet euthanasia service fee, any travel fee (if any apply), and a platform fee. Additionally, depending on your choice, fees may apply for cremation services or keepsakes.

During your appointment, your vet will confirm your aftercare selection with you. If you choose to arrange cremation services, your vet will oversee your pet’s transportation to a local facility for cremation. If your preferred cremation option includes the return of your pet’s ashes to you, your vet will discuss the process to reunite you with your pet's ashes and the anticipated time frame during your appointment

Yes, upon arrival the veterinarian will assess your pet. This can look different than an “nose to tail” examination in a clinic setting and will focus more on the pet’s history and quality of life.

It is not uncommon to have doubts about whether the time is right. If you’ve taken the Quality of Life Questionnaire and are still unsure, we recommend consulting with your family veterinarian before scheduling an appointment.

Rest assured, if you book an appointment, your in-home euthanasia veterinarian will let you know if they do not believe that euthanasia is appropriate at this time.

You can expect your veterinarian to be in your home from 20-60 minutes, depending on how much of that time you need or want throughout the process.

Dr. Lara Allison was so kind, comforting and professional. She made a terrible event a very beautiful moment for our family. Her experience and knowledge helped us to feel calm and have final moments with our Lucy.

The experience was more than I could imagine. Dr Peters was very professional and compassionate to my needs and my pet Dixie who was suffering from cancer and was no longer able to get around. Dr Peters rescheduled our appointment and came the night before scheduled to provide the service needed without delaying to give my baby some peace and to avoid any prolonged suffering. She made this experience very pleasant for us both and I know I made the best decision for Dixie. She left here at peace and never knew anything was going on except she was with me giving her hugs and love as she drifted off to sleep. I am very satisfied with her service she provided. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I could have did it without your kindness and true compassion you showed us. Your a great Vet and I recommend her 💯.

Review by Donna Sapp

Our beloved Bernese Mountain Dog's health had been steadily declining for weeks. When we came to the gut-wrenching realization that his quality of life and health were so poor that it wasn't fair to him to let him suffer, we knew we had to intervene. When our previous pup reached this point several years earlier, we took her to our vet to be euthanized. It was absolutely awful seeing her for the last time on a vet's sterile, stainless steel table. We didn't want a repeat of that, so we contacted Dr. Lori. Dr. Lori has a beautiful, calming demeanor and reassured us that we were making the right decision. She came to our home so our pup could die peacefully and comfortably, surrounded by family. Having him die at home made this awful experience manageable, and she eased his passing in the most humane way. Our last sight of our pup was seeing him lovingly bundled in soft blankets in the back of her vehicle. He deserved to die with dignity and Dr. Lori provided that. I can't recommend Dr. Lori enough for a pet's end-of-life care.

Dr. Phillips was much more that someone there to perform a task and be on her way. First she was an awesome care giver to our dog Riley who was suffering with cancer. Dr. Phillips care extended way beyond Riley and included our entire family that had gathered for Riley's passing. Dr. Phillips professionalism was surpassed only by her compassion for all who were there. Thank You Dr. Phillips for being there for Riley and us. Rock & Dana

Dr Orth is always very kind and compassionate. This is the 3rd dog we have compassionately euthanized with her. She makes a very difficult situation as comfortable as it can be. We never felt rushed and she made time on her off day to help our fur baby cross the rainbow bridge.

Dr. Whala is empathetic, compassionate, and patient. She helped our dog Brody smoothly transition into the next phase of life. She created a calm and loving environment and allowed us to grieve and say our goodbyes without making us feel rushed. She made sure Brody was comfortable and at peace throughout the process. I highly recommend Dr. Whala to anyone who is trying to peacefully help their animal transition over the rainbow bridge.
