Why I provide at-home pet euthanasia

At a very young age I developed a fascination with animals through drawing. This quickly evolved into my passion for animals and the reason of choosing the career path of becoming a veterinarian. My past experiences have led me to work with a wide variety of species ranging from biomedical primates to small and large animals. Through practicing I have found that quality medicine and care along with quality time spent with owners and pets is imperative to my values as a practitioner. In-home euthanasia allows me to embody these facets and provide optimal care to my patients in the comfort of their own home.

What pet parents are saying

Our family felt an instant connection with Dr. Briell Dzierga. Not only is she the best vet I have ever met, she is an incredibly gentle and loving person. She guided my husband and I through one of the most the difficulty journeys of our life; saying goodbye to our beloved 15 yr. old schnorkie. I had incredible pain staking anxiety the days leading up, but the second I saw her face and she met Yang (our 15yr old schnorkie) we all felt as ease. I immediately felt my dogs body relax (which he never does) which told me he was ready to go. I could not have asked for a better experience. It was a truly peaceful, loving and understanding experience among all. One in which I will never forget, but in a way that gives me joy and peace instead of heart ache. Thank you Dr. Briell Dzierga, we will never forget you and I thank you for this incredible life changing experience.

I had to put my husband‘s cat to sleep today I couldn’t have asked for more thoughtful, caring, considerate, and compassionate Doctor Brielle. She was understanding and treated Ziva like it was her own. She took her time, explained everything. It was a very hard decision to make, but she made it possible with love. She took her time to make sure Ziva was comfortable. She even brought my other cat Jethro in to make sure he was aware of what was going on. She knew that my husband had just passed away and when she took Ziva to her final resting place, she saw a rainbow and texted me saying that Ziva went over the rainbow and John was waiting to greet her and welcome her home. That meant the world to me . Such a compassionate dr. Thank you for being who you are…. AMAZING

Dr. Dzierga was so personable and caring. You can really tell she has a passion for animals. Losing my dog was so hard, but she made the experience bearable.

This is written to share with you our personal experiences with the unfortunate necessity of saying ‘goodbye’ to our friend, companion and virtual family member of nearly 15 years, our dog, Baxter. Most of the time Baxter was a good boy...and, yes, once in a while, a bad boy...but he was always our boy. Baxter was a Shiba Inu and a handsome devil. He loved to run, jump, chase and frolic and shared hours of enjoyment with us. Since our children were all grown, Baxter became more than just a pet. He would sit at the table with us, never ate dog food, was most often fed his chicken and cheese (not mixed) by hand and loved to escape from the house, patrol the neighborhood for between 30 seconds and 5 minutes and then come running back through the garage, thru the open door to the kitchen to the safety of his own home. As it does with all pets, eventually time caught up with Baxter much too quickly. He slowed down and began to have other issues that seemed to be causing him pain. He had 14+ great years, but things had become more and more difficult for him over the past 12 months. This finally brought us to what seemed like the most painful conclusion we ever faced – it seemed we were trying to extend Baxter’s life – not as much for Baxter as for us. So the final decision was made and we investigated all the options, one of which was in-home pet euthanasia. We decided we wanted to be with him to comfort him during his final moments. We wanted him to be treated with dignity and compassion. And we wanted him to be comfortable with where he was and with those who loved him the most. And, yes, I will admit, we wanted it to be as free from anxiety and stress as possible for us as well. As I am typing this with tears in my eyes, I have to say that thanks to Dr. Dzierga and her team at CodaPet. She came to our home, sat with us and Baxter for an hour explaining the process, what we could expect and, most importantly how Baxter would be treated. I have to say the entire procedure was more comforting and less painful than either of us ever imagined. Baxter was lying with us and simply drifted off to sleep experiencing no pain nor any anxiety, nothing but comfort. We said not our ‘goodbyes’, but our ‘goodnights’ to our little friend, promising to see him again. The last image I have of Baxter was him wrapped in blanket like a baby being lovingly carried away. His eyes were closed as if he were only sleeping, content, at peace and free of pain. We recommend every pet owner consider in-home pet euthanasia. It is a beautiful way to say ‘goodnight’ to your ‘friend’ and give those final moments with ‘your Baxter’ the same meaning as the wonderful life you shared together. Don and Eileen Bigda

Review by Dr. Briell Dzierga

Dr Briell Dzierga with Coda Pet has handled 2 seperate euthanasia events of our Abyssinian Cats. Our first experience with Dr Dzierga was exceptionally compassionate and caring for both our beloved male Abby suffering from cancer. Most recently our Female Abby experienced stage 4 kidney failure as was in very bad shape. Dr Dzierga scheduled with us for a second time since we were sold on her approach, compassionate manner, and Vet skills overall. She explains the process in detail and uses a three step process allowing you time to be with your pet, best for the Pet and Yourself. We are convinced that our Abby’s experienced the minimum stress and the maximum love possible. I commend Dr. Dzierga for her professionalism and Compassion for the animal as well as the pet owner. We were a wreck emotionally and she helped us through the process. Dr. Dzierga is a “10” in our experience and anyone considering home Euthanasia should seriously consider the process superior to at Vet office in EVERY WAY, and Dr. Dzierga for attending to your beloved pet.
