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

My dear sweet 15 year old ginger girl made me smile every single day. So when she became ill, I had to make a tough choice. Dr. Dzierga arrived on the evening of our appointment. She was very compassionate. Informing me of the whole process, step by step. There was no rush, I was able to tell her all about my lovely girl and felt assured, by our conversation, that it was indeed the right time to let my sweet cat go. It was one of the hardest decisions I've ever made. The ability to have it done in my home, allowed my girl to go peacefully, without any added stress of being couped up in a carrier and driven to the vet. There was no fear added to the mix. She was home, on my lap, getting all the love as she drifted off. She was ready, even though my heart wasn't...

Dr. Briell was amazing! She was so patient, explained everything she was going to do before she did it, and really helped us during a very difficult time. Dr.Briell got to know our Emma which really meant a lot. Emma mattered to her and us. I had wondered if I was doing the right thing at the right time. Emma had a good day which made me double think my decision. Dr. Briell pointed out some of Emma’s behaviors as we were watching her walk around. She picked up on her pain and I could then see it too. This reassurance was priceless to me. I held my precious Emma in her final moments and was comforted in the fact that she was finally free of her pain. She was at peace. Dr. Briell then took great care of our fur baby, cradling her in a soft blanket and placing her in a new pet bed. We had asked for her to be cremated and Dr. Briell took care of that for us. Looking back, it was a very beautiful experience. We can’t thank Dr. Briell enough for her care and kindness!

Dr. Briell is one of the most compassionate, caring and dedicated veterinarians I have met . She helped my sweet Hattie cross over the rainbow bridge without any pain and in her own home and with us. I can’t recommend her enough to anyone facing this difficult decision. I will never choose another route for my pets in the future. Thank you so much Dr.Briell❤️

Anyone that cares for their pets as family can understand the heartbreak and emptiness this loss brings. We welcomes a litter of infant kittens to our home 14 years ago and were blessed to watch them age alongside our children all of these years. We lost one of our darling cats this past Spring to kidney disease. The decision was kind, but agonizing. Not just for us, but her brothers and sister. Briell came to us on that very sad day with one goal - to carry us through to the next day. It is hard to imagine feeling anything other than sadness, but she managed to remind us, even in those dark moments, of what a gift our darling girl was; we talked for an hour about special memories while our other cats lived out their last moments as 4. Briell has the gift of calmness. She is tender, gentle, her voice is angelic and she manages to captivate and steer the room to a sweet side that is unimaginable. She has found her lot in life and I am thankful to know her

Review by Dr. Briell Dzierga

We were heartbroken to say goodbye to our family dog, but Dr Briell made the entire process comforting and beautiful. She allowed us time to share stories and say goodbye. She was amazing with my children and explained things in ways they could understand. She even gave our other dog and cat time to say goodbye. I don’t wish this circumstance on anyone, but if it’s where you find yourself then I cannot recommend Dr Briell and her team enough.

We decided to use Coda Pet because we wanted to say goodbye to our cat Petey in our home, where he was most comfortable. Dr. Dzierga was extremely professional, and made this difficult and heartbreaking process a bit more bearable. She made sure to assess Petey’s health and did her due diligence in ensuring we were making the correct decision, while also being understanding of our needs and opinions as his owners. She ensured our last moments with our cat were meaningful and peaceful.
