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
she was amazing during this difficult time. me and my family truly felt and greatly appreciated her compassion and kindness. what she does is a hard job to do, but i am so thankful she does. we really felt the love she had for our girl as she crossed the rainbow bridge.
What an amazing person Dr. Briell Dzierga was!! She made such an awful time of our lives so calm and peaceful. She was just an angel to our big boy Duke. I miss him already and it hasn't even been but a few hours. But I wanted to make sure that I left a review so that everyone who needs help with such an awful decision could hear what an amazing service these people offer.
Dr Dzierga was the perfect fit to help my husband and I through the difficult process of saying goodbye to our choc lab Rooger. She was easy to communicate with / thorough in her exam as well as options and explanations. She was kind and patient. She gently and respectfully prepared us the best she could for each step and final departure. We're forever grateful.
If you are faced with this most difficult of decisions, o not hesitate to call Dr. Briell Dzierga - so kind, compassionate, thorough and considerate throughout our time spent facing this decision and ultimately choosing to let our sweet boy go.
Dr. DZierga made the sad process of saying goodbye so much more comforting. She was professional, compassionate, knowledgeable and truly showed care and concern while helping us to send our beloved Lucy to Heaven. She is an excellent Vet to help you with your pet to take their last journey in the peace and comfort of home. I highly recommend her services , as we have used her before and knew she was the one to call when we needed her services again.
Dr. Briell Dzierga was wonderful on a very difficult day for us. She explained everything and was very caring. We could not have asked for better for our Kolby Lynn. Thank you Dr Briell!!!
Care, compassion and empathy were in the forefront and every step of the way. This was such a hard decision to make after 15 years with our pup. Dr Dzierga was so respectful and compassionate in her assessment and through the process. We knew it was the right thing to do. We had another dog in our household for 13 years and it was important to us that she understood was happening too. While I wish this on no one, if you find yourself needing these services, I recommend Dr Dzierga with the highest regards.
I have never been through having a pet passing away at home.Dr. Briell Is the most wonderful, Caring, considerate and compassionate Dr I have ever met. She came to the house to help with ziva, She couldn’t have been kinder as if it was her own cat. She treated Ziva with love and compassion. She made sure that Ziva was comfortable. She never rushed us. She even had our other cat come in to see what was going on. In our time of grieving, Ziva couldn’t have been taken care of By anybody better. She made the process absolutely bearable. She knew that my husband had passed away recently and on her way with Ziva ( my husbands favorite) she saw a rainbow and texted me to say that she’s going over the rainbow bridge and John was welcoming her. It meant the world to me . Thank you, you truly are amazing. ❤️
Dr. Briell was the kindest, most compassionate young woman I could have asked for. It was evident how much she loves helping dogs and their humans. It was horrible losing Mickey but being able to let him go so peacefully, without pain, and at home, got us through it. She was so sweet and loving, I don’t know how I would have made it. I miss him more than I can say and always will. I have his sweet and lovable personality and all the wonderful memories of my best friend to hold onto. Thank you so much Dr. Briell!
Dr. Dzierga will always be remembered as one of the most precious people in our lives even though we only knew her for one day. I had to make the hardest decision for my 14 year old girl, Frayya, and she was able to come to our home where she remained the most comfortable and surrounded with her family until the very end. Her patience, sweetness, and understanding was everything we needed to get through but it was the attention to detail which made it even more special. I received the most thoughtful letter in the mail and even her paw print was special as she captured Frayya’s weird double dewclaw. Thank you for your caring heart and your service to our community.
My elderly dog Bella had a tumor in her ear, and we had to make the heartbreaking decision to put her down so she wouldn’t suffer. Dr. Briell Dzierga was the kindest vet we could have asked for during this incredibly difficult time. She was so compassionate and gentle, and she truly made Bella’s passing peaceful and full of love. We are forever grateful to Dr. Dzierga for her kindness and for helping us give Bella the peaceful goodbye she deserved.
Dr. Brielle Dzierga came to my house to put my cat Poe down as he had bad kidney failure. I was expecting the usual wham bam couple of shots and all done. I could not have been more wrong. From the moment Dr. Dzierga came, my cat and I were enveloped in a cocoon of such care, compassion and patience to an almost unbelievable level. She was at my house for almost 2 hours. explaining everything slowly, encouraging me to share about my life with him. Just incredible. Every empathetic thing that could be done, was done. She was very careful about not frightening him. As I told Brielle, her being a vet is not a job but a calling. God placed her in this role so her compassionate and caring nature could comfort others. I would give 100 stars if I could. Brielle is exceptional!! Office staff also were lovely. Should you need this service, this is the place to call.
In one of the most devastating moments of our lives, we were fortunate to be met with extraordinary compassion. The At- home euthanasia of our beloved Doberman, Lex, was carried out with such tenderness and compassion by the deeply kind and understanding Dr. Briell Dzierga. Her presence brought a sense of calm into our home-transforming what could have been purely heartbreaking into something peaceful, respectful and full of love. She took the time to listen, to honor Lex’s life, and to make sure every step was handled with gentle care. Her demeanor was both professional and profoundly human; she understood the depth of our pain and offered quiet support that made all the difference. While saying goodbye is never easy, Dr. Dzierga helped us navigate it with grace, we’re so thankful that even in sorrow, we were surrounded by kindness.
Dr. Briell was wonderful and we feel so lucky that she was the one who was able to help us with our last hours with our dog Annie. It's a gift to be able to say goodbye to our precious friends at home. She was so skilled at making us feel at ease and making sure Annie was as comfortable as she could be. Thank you for your caring and empathy, we are very grateful.
Dr.Briell is amazing. She came into my home on one of the most difficult days and took the time to get to know me and made me feel like I had made the right decision. We told stories about my 14 year old yorkie(Emma).I can’t explain how kind and thoughtful Dr.Briell was to me and my family on that
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this service to anyone who needs to put their fur baby to rest. Dr. Briell Dzierga was amazing with my family, and especially the little kids. She is an amazing person with a good heart.
Brielle was amazing ! She is professional and confident in her craft . Most importantly she is compassionate and a calming energy when it's needed most . She truly is a wonderful vet and human being !
Dr. Brielle Dzeirga was amazing ! She is professional and confident in her craft . Most importantly she is compassionate and a calming energy when it's needed most . She truly is a wonderful vet and human being ! Saying goodbye to our dog at home was all around so much better than the clinic for her and for us .
The fact that I had the option to have someone come make saying goodbye easier at home was incredible for 1 thing, but Dr. Briell made us feel very comfortable that our baby was in the right hands to carry on. This was my first time going through this with my first pet, so she was very supportive and understanding of my decision. Having your pet at home where they are most comfortable was probably the best thing I could have done for my dog and I would do it again.
Oh, my. I don't even know where to start about the special care Dr. Brielle gave both Carmen and me. She was not in a hurry even though it was almost 7p when she arrived because she had to travel so far from the previous appointment but she stayed two and a half hours with us. She spent a lot of time observing Carmen to insure this was the right choice and gave me so much reassurance that it was definitely the right decision. That made me feel so much better. She gave Carmen so much attention and Carmen really liked her. That means a lot. She was gentle the whole time with all she did. I just can't say enough about the care she gave us. Without a doubt, I'd highly recommend her and definitely use her again if I ever have to. Thanks so much for sending us this wonderful vet. I'm so appreciative of all she did and her methods.
It’s a hard decision to make. I like how she assured us that if she didn’t think it was warranted, she wouldn’t advise it. Turns out it was warranted, so we moved forward. As hard as it was, it was very peaceful for our dog Carmen. This vet is very knowledgeable and compassionate. We were quite at ease having this done at home and with Dr Briell Dzierga.
Dr. Dzierga is amazing..she was so kind, patient and understanding. She explained each step and did not rush anything. If we had questions, she answered. She asked a lot of questions about Tucker's health and him growing up to understand the hard decision we made during have at home euthanasia done. She allowed us time with Tucker once the final injection was given to say our goodbyes and let him husband carry him out to her car in the doggie bed and blanket she provider. The only way to describe Dr. Dzierga is that she is an angel 😇
During one of the most difficult times, Dr. Brielle gave us the most peaceful transition with our beloved pup. She was so kind and genuine taking time to talk with us and hear about the life and bond we had with our pup as well as walking us through the entire process to make sure we were all comfortable. Her bedside manner and demeanor were calming and made us all feel we could be present and supportive of our girl as she crossed the rainbow bridge. We can't thank her enough for her grace and care.
We had to put down my baby, Tucker of 12 yrs and my husband and I could not have asked for a better angel than Dr. Brielle Dzierga..she showed so much compassion and explained every step of the process. Gave us time in between each step never rushing. 1st time doing this at home and it made the experience easier not only on us but my little Tucker. I recommend this service to any pet owner who considers their pet a part of the family.
She was a very caring and competent Vet. I was very impressed how well she was able to help my not so nice cat go over the Rainbow Bridge. I would not want to have her job. She was so kind and she sent me a lovely card afterwards that I will keep forever. I recommend her highly. I COULD NOT HAVE NOT GOTTEN THROUGH IT WITHOUT HER GENTLENESS AND KINDNESS.
Dr. Dzierga was very caring. She was thorough in explaining everything that she was doing and how our dog would progress. She made sure the people who picked up our dog were there in a timely manner.
In the hardest moments, Dr. Briell made it better. She was calm, considerate and wildly compassionate. She gave me all the time I needed and would have stayed longer no questions asked. Her heart is in what she does and she has a kind soul. Im a wildly difficult situation, she made it peaceful. She was amazing.
Dr. Briell was professional, compassionate, kind, and empathetic. She made an incredibly difficult time a little bit easier. Having her provide the service in home made things so much more comfortable for Elle and provided me solace in knowing she was as comfortable as possible. I can say without hesitation that I would recommend Dr.Briell to anyone facing this difficult decision.
I could not recommend Dr. Dzierga enough. She was kind, compassionate, understanding and so loving with our fur baby. It was the hardest moment of our entire lives and she made it so peaceful. Everyone should use this program and Dr. Dzierga. We are forever grateful!
Briell was very kind and took a lot of time sitting with my little love and I asking questions to learn about our life together in order to honor him in the best way. I appreciated her thoughtfulness and gentle spirit in helping me on a dark day.
She was patient, kind and very compassionate. For the circumstances, it could not have gone better for an owner. I am hopeful not to use this anytime soon, but when my dog days are over, I will definitely reach out and use Dr. DZIERGA again!!! Thanks
Can not say enough great things about Dr. Bri. Everything from her EXTREME professionalism to her expert knowledge that she took the time to explain each step of every process to myself and family. Her level of care before, during, and after is 1000% Will ONLY use Dr. Bri for all future needs!
I find it hard to articulate just how much I appreciate the care that Dr. Briell Dzierga gave to not only my dog but myself as well. As hard a choice as it was, she took the time to make sure it was a well-informed decision and that I was comfortable with it. She was sincere and caring and as professional as you can expect. I highly recommend if needed.
Dr. Dzierga was very professional! Her knowledge and understanding of the situation really help us get through the difficult decision we had to make for Athena on her special day. Dr. Dzierga made sure she explained every step gave us time between every step. Pet Rest who she contracts with is just as professional and understanding. I would 100% go with at home euthanasia and would definitely recommend to others.
Dr. Briell Dzierga was so amazing during such a difficult time for us. She was so patient with us and our kids. I wouldn’t have wanted any other doctor to be with us during such a heartbreaking moment. I will forever be grateful for her, all the services she offered us and the encouragement she gave us. She has helped our grieving process so much!
We are so incredibly grateful to Dr. Briell Dzierga for the compassion, care, and dignity she showed during one of the hardest moments of our lives. Saying goodbye to our beloved Lacey was heartbreaking, but the way she handled the process made all the difference. From the moment she arrived at our home , we felt supported. She gave us time, explained everything gently, and treated our dog with the utmost respect and tenderness. The room was calm and quiet, and she never rushed us—allowing us the space to say goodbye in our own way. It was clear she truly understood the depth of the bond we had with our pet. Though this was one of the most difficult decisions we’ve ever had to make, we had a deep sense of peace, knowing our dog passed away without fear or pain, surrounded by love. Thank you, Dr. Briell Dzierga, for your empathy, professionalism, and heart. We will never forget how you helped us through this.
Dr. Briell helped our family navigate two extremely difficult times. We lost both of our labs within a month of each other. She was very kind, understanding, and explained things in terms that both of our kids could understand. While very difficult, she definitely made it easier. After losing our first, we knew who we wanted to be there for our second. I can't give enough high praise for Dr. Briell and her passion for what she does. Thank you!!
Dr. Dzierga was very kind and compassionate. She made the entire process easier. My other dog who does not like any stranger was also very calm in her presence. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone.
Dr. Briell Dzierga was the most compassionate and thorough vet. She explained everything she was doing as we went on and treated Thor with lots of love and treats. I recommend her to anyone that is in need of this service.
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!
We were very pleased with the empathy, professionalism and competency of the veterinarian from At home Pet Euthanasia CodaPet. Our beloved 20 y old cat, Gwen, had end stage kidney failure. Dr. Dzierga took the time to explain every step of the process very clearly, she gave us support and was sensitive of our emotions. We felt we were in excellent hands during this difficult time.
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.
This made a heartbreaking experience less difficult. Booking and payment were a breeze - it was nice not having to stress over those things. Dr. Briell Dzierga came to our house and was extremely warm and caring. She walked us through every step of the process beforehand so we knew what to expect and explained each step as she went to make sure we knew what was happening and that our loved one wasn't in any pain. Under the circumstances, we couldn't have had a better experience.
Dr. Brielle Dzierga was professional, compassionate and supportive. She explained the process in detail. She confirmed I understood and wanted to proceed. She made an extremely difficult situation manageable. If you find yourself in need of this service, I highly recommend Dr. Dzierga.
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.
Dr. Briell Dzierga Was such a blessing at such a difficult time. She took her time and explained the process and eased my mind. She asked about Fuzz’s ailments and also agreed it was him time to move on. She reassured me which is also what I needed. She is so compassionate and warm spirited. I highly recommend her and this at home service in particular. Fuzz was so calm and didn’t notice a thing.
I cannot thank Dr. Briell enough for her kindness and compassion she showed our family as she helped our dog, Snickers, cross the rainbow bridge. She was so loving with Snickers and asked our family questions to get to know her better. I had phoned our veterinarian to ask for a service that would allow the procedure to be done in the comfort of Snickers' home so we wouldn't have to make her travel and be more anxious and uncomfortable. When I searched for the suggested service, I came across CodaPet and read the touching reviews of Dr. Briell and felt she was the right veterinarian for this difficult decision. I am so thankful I went with her. She is an incredibly special person for a very difficult decision that many pet families have to make. I highly recommend Dr. Briell.
Dr. Dzierga made saying goodbye to our sweet Molly as positive of an experience as it could be. She walked us through everything and answered our questions honestly and thoroughly. She was very patient and didn't make us feel rushed, and her empathy was genuine. She assured us that we were doing the right thing and helped us feel confident in our decision, even though it was painful. I would highly recommend her a thousand times over.
Dr Briell Dzierga was extremely respectful and carring towards my dog. She ensured his passing went about in the most peaceful way possible.
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 so gentle, kind, and thoughtful throughout this process. We are so thankful for that experience, especially for our kids. We highly recommend Dr. Briell!
Dr. Briell Dzierga was an incredible gift to our family when we chose in home pet euthanasia for our precious 18 year old cat 🐈⬛ this week. She took such care and time ensuring all of us were comfortable and thoroughly understood the entire process. She went to great lengths to include our young children using age appropriate language and gentle explanations with our consent and at our request. Through all our tears, there was such peace and comfort being at home in one of our cat’s favorite spots with the sun streaming through the window as we said our goodbyes. We will be forever grateful that such a difficult time was made infinitely easier thanks to Dr. Briell Dzierga’s expertise and kindness.
So happy that there is a service like this provided at home. It made a very heartbreaking experience more at ease. Love how informative Dr Dzierga was and how she took her time with everything. She was so easy to talk to and so compassionate and very understanding. Made us feel like we weren’t alone with this and that she was experiencing how we felt. In the future things the way we will go from now on with all our pets. You guys are absolutely amazing!
Dr. Briell Dzierga treated us, and more importantly, our beloved dog Harley with the utmost kindness and compassion. She took the time to ensure we were ready at every point. She was very empathetic, explained everything throughly, very understanding and supportive in this hard decision we had to endure. We are very grateful that we were able to stay at home for this, where our big boy was as comfortable as he could be. From beginning to the end Dr. Biell made our decision to say good bye the right one. Thank you, for all that you do - you are such a blessing!!
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.

Dr. Dzierga was the most compassion and heartfelt veterinary and person I have ever melt concerning anything with my sweet Bella. It was a difficult decision and she took her time and made sure I was ok with it and helped me to know I was making the right choice. You could just see and feel the love and care she has for animals. She made Bella's cross over to the rainbow path with care, compassion as if she was her own. If you have to make the decision for your love fur baby. I would recommend Dr. Dzierga with all my heart ❤️
This was my first experience with at home euthanasia for one of our pets. Dr. Briell Dzierga is very kind and empathetic. She truly cares and it shows. Thank you for assisting our sweet Libby to the Rainbow Bridge.
Dr Dzierga was so wonderful and made this experience so peaceful for all of us. I truly appreciate her explanations and conversation during our time and how empathetic she was. I highly recommend her.
If you are faced with this most difficult of decisions, do not hesitate to call Dr. Briell Dzierga - so kind, compassionate, thorough and considerate throughout our time spent facing this decision and ultimately choosing to let our sweet boy go.
Dr. Briell Dzierga did a wonderful job ensuring my dog passed in the most peacful way possible. She took her time and ensured that he was calm and relaxed before doing anything. I can't imagine him being more at peace before passing on.
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. Briell Dzierga was wonderful. This was our first time using an in home pet euthanasia service. We never knew this was even an option until recently. We knew we wanted our furbaby, Misty Day, to pass with us at home and not in some strange place she visits once a year. Dr. Dzierga explained the process to us and got to know us. She listened as we grieved and shared stories. She didn't rush us and she helped talk to our 8 year old who wanted to be there, too, to say goodbye to her grandparents cat. She handled all the cremation and transfer details and gave us a sweet pawprint keepsake. She explained everything and all our options for arrangements. No pressure. She was so, so kind. We received a sweet condolence card where she had so much detail on all the personal stories we shared. I would highly recommend her and her services. We loved her! ❤️ Christina, Damien and Esmae Adeline
Dr. Dzierga was so kind and made one of the worst possible things you’ll ever have to do a little softer. We had to say goodbye to our almost 16 yo doxie mix, Stella, suffering from renal failure, right after the new year. Knowing how nervous she always was going to the vet, letting her pass in peace at home was very important to us. Dr. Briell took the time to speak with us, layout, exactly what would happen and this time allowed Stella to be at ease. Thankful that her heart led to her to help families in this situation.
Couldn’t have asked for a better experience from Dr. Briell. She took a lot of time to talk with us about Lucy and her life with us, her favorite things and experiences. She also had treats and was quite generous with them. I know Lucy, (always a food motivated doggie) had at least 8 or 10, so she went over the rainbow bridge with a full belly. She even took a paw print and cut some of her hair for us. The whole procedure right down to Pet Rest, that came to transport her to the cremation facility, was done very reverently and empathetically throughout the whole ordeal. I had her ashes returned to me within two days and there was a beautiful card and a cast of her paw included along with my chosen container. I highly recommend Dr. Briell and Pet Rest. They took an otherwise traumatic experience and made it bearable.
When we found out that our dog Hercules was diagnosed with Lymphoma and given only weeks to live, we were devastated! He was only 4 years old and was such a good dog. I was terrified of the idea of euthanizing my baby. I couldn't imagine that my dog's last moment was going to be at the Vet's office. A friend of mine told me about in-home pet euthanasia and explained every detail of their experience. Although our hearts were torn, we decided that not only was it the best service for our family, but it was also the best for Hercules. Everything was explained so well, step by step, in a manner in which our children were comfortable with saying goodbye to their friend at home. Each last moment that was spent with him was filled with sadness, joy, and hope. We were honored to be there for him as he transitioned. Although we were sad to let him go, we were happy that he met a peaceful and dignified end. We decided to have Herculese cremated and brought back home. I received a beautiful urn and my fur baby will be at home with me forever. I highly recommend Dr Briell Dzierga at CodaPet!
Dr Briell is a wonderful vet who was kind, considerate and extremely thoughtful. She understands what a pet means to a family. She allowed our family private time to say goodbye and helped us keep our composure during the process. Dr Briell explained step by step the procedure she was about to perform and ensured us Willie would suffer no pain. She kept her word and Willie passed very peacefully. Out of her kindness she gave us Willie's paw prints and later a beautiful card was mailed to us. Dr Briell is a very caring and special person. She gets a very high recommendation from us.
Thank you Dr Dziegra! I was so afraid of the process of putting my Ryleigh to sleep. She was my everything for 16 years. You made her so comfortable. The whole family was there to say goodbye. You helped us through a very difficult time. From beginning to the end you made our decision to say good bye the right one. Ryleigh went peacefully to sleep with her whole world around her. I would highly recommend this service and Dr Dzierga!
I recently had to say goodbye to my 15 year old pup, Emma. It was an extremely difficult decision. Dr. Briell Dzierga came by and sat on the floor with us while we went over our options. She was so kind and understanding, and reassured me that I was acting in the best interest of my elderly and ailing dog. I miss that pup so much, but I am at peace with how that morning played out. Dr. Dzierga was patient and accommodating, and I could not have asked for a better person to be there for my dog's final moments. She did everything with such care and dignity. She explained to me everything that would happen and answered all of my questions. I'm grateful for her calm presence in what was a very emotionally charged situation for me. I'm also grateful that we were able to be at home instead of stressing my dog out with the unfamiliarity of the vet's office. Dr. Dzierga then followed up by sending the nicest condolences card a few days later. I will recommend this service to everyone I know with an aging pet, just so they know who to call when the time comes.
Amazing experience and would highly recommend. Felt therapeutic with Dr Dzierga, made us feel at ease and this was right decision, the home experience is way to go. She made a very hard day quite beautiful.
Dr. Briell Dzierga was an incredible gift to our family when we chose in home pet euthanasia for our precious 18 year old cat 🐈⬛ this week. She took such care and time ensuring all of us were comfortable and thoroughly understood the entire process. She went to great lengths to include our young children using age appropriate language and gentle explanations with our consent and at our request. Through all our tears, there was such peace and comfort being at home in one of our cat’s favorite spots with the sun streaming through the window as we said our goodbyes. We will be forever grateful that such a difficult time was made infinitely easier thanks to Dr. Briell Dzierga’s expertise and kindness.
Dr. Briell Dzierga is AMAZING!! I have never felt more heard & understood by a vet before her. She made one of our worst days a little less awful by her love & care. It's a beautiful service that you provide. My Sully boy & my family were blessed to have you there for his final moments. I'll forever be grateful
I can't express how amazing Dr. Briell was on making Harley (and me) comfortable on her day of passing. She was very compassionate throughout the experience & after. Although she just met Harley, she loved on her as if she knew her whole life. I can't thank her enough for making Harley's final moments as peaceful as possible.
Dr. Dzierga was absolutely amazing during this tough time for my family. My pup was a 18 year old black lab who lived a good life. She made his crossing painless. She helped talk us through everything. We even shared stories of Mak dog and had some laughs. It’s never easy making this decision or having to go through this kind of situation but Dr. Dziegra somehow made it easier for us. Thanks again for everything. Mak is a peace now and we are grateful for you!
Cupcake had been sick on and off for about a year, then one morning she got up and something had changed - she was in obvious pain. It came on very quickly and very strong. While searching on the internet, I came across Codapet. I made an appointment and Dr. Dzierga, who reached out almost immediately. Knowing she was a vet and able to answer any questions I had was amazing. She let me know what to do and what she would be doing. Cupcake over the next 24 hours got worse and, I could not imagine even trying to get her out of the house to go to her regular vet. Dr. Briell Dzierga came, and the home care final process became a beautiful experience. Considering what the process is, and to be able to say it was a beautiful experience, says a lot. I would have paid double, knowing my love one started her new journey to the other side in such a peaceful loving way while at home. Thank you for everything.
She was very caring and supportive of an extremely traumatic experience for me and provided personal contact and support before and after the procedure. I would lightly recommend her.
Dr. Briell was such a compassionate doctor. She put my mind at ease at such a difficult time. She explained the process thoroughly. I am so thankful to have used this service and recommend it to anyone that needs it.
Dr. Brielle Dzreiga is an angel sent from heaven. She helped our 18 yr old kitty, Buster Brown, cross over the rainbow bridge. Busty was in late stage kidney failure and bravely held on as long as he could. We could not have asked for a more compassionate and empathetic vet to have in this very difficult moment. Her gentleness and love for animals was felt deeply and reassured our hearts that our baby was in the right hands. We could not have asked for a better experience to say farewell to our boy. We are and will be forever grateful. There are no words except, thank you. 🙏🏼🕊️
The Doc was so kind and understanding. There was no rush, no pressure and was so helpful. Everything was explained in detail and with kindness. Thank you so much.
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.
Dr. Brielle was hands down the most compassionate Vet my husband and I have ever come across. She evaluated the situation and helped us in making the right decision for Ben. She explained everything and was never pushy and took all the time we needed for questions in making our decision. I would highly recommend her if you are making the decision on helping your love one pass over rainbow bridge. I thought it was very reasonable and 100 percent less stressful than the emergency vet. RIP Ben, momma and daddy loves you ❤️ 💙
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
Dr. Briell Dzierga made this difficult decision easier with her compassion and care. She took the time to learn about Hanks life and what he means to us as a family. If you ever have to make this kind of call, I would definitely recommend her and if/when I have to make it again, she’ll be the one I call for sure.
She was very professional and compassionate. I highly recommend reaching out to Dr Dzierga to help you navigate the process of losing a precious pet. My family felt that she really cared about all of us.
Dr. Brielle Dzierga was absolutely amazing during a very sad and traumatic time for our family. Losing our precious Marley was extremely scary and painful. Dr. Brielle was very professional and patient during the process. She took time to explain the process so that we knew exactly what to expect. She comforted us and gave us as much time as we needed to say goodbye. Dr. Brielle hugged us many times before she left with our precious Marley. I highly recommend Dr. Brielle Dzierga to help your pet cross the Rainbow Bridge.
Dr. Briell was so compassionate during our very difficult time. She has an abundance of empathy for all in her care, whether 2 legged or 4.
Could not ask for a better experience for the situation, Dr. Briell Dzierga was incredibly patient and caring for the entire duration. She explained everything in the process incredibly well especially for our children.
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.
Dr Dzierga went above and beyond for our family on what was a very difficult day. I saw that our 20 year old cat was going downhill very quickly and had to make the decision no one wants to make. I made the appointment for Dr Briell to come to our house to help our kitty cross the rainbow bridge. She was able to come a few hours later. Unfortunately, Crystal took matters into her own hands and passed before our scheduled appointment. Dr Briell arranged the cremation and return of Crystal, made sure we had pawprints and nose prints, and was just so very caring with all the details and with us. She asked about Crystal's origin story and sincerely listened. She went over everything in detail and left nothing out. She sent a lovely note with Crystal when she came home. I am forever grateful that Dr Briell was here to help make a difficult day a little bit easier. I would recommend her very highly. She does the work if an angel!
Brielle was amazing with our family and Heidi through this very difficult process. I would give her the highest of recommendation to anyone looking for someone to help in this process.🙏🏻❤️
Dr. Briell was amazing. Our experience with her delicate care was as important to our human family, as it was for our beloved dog, Brutus. She facilitated a serene, meaningful experience. She was a true guide to help our friend over the bridge and for us to say goodbye.
Dr. Briell Dzierga came to us for in home pet euthanasia when it was time to say goodbye to our 18 year old dog. Dr. Dzierga was so caring and compassionate and really helped us get through this. She made a very difficult process as easy as it could be and explained everthing to us. She made sure we were comfortable every step of the way. I can't recommend her enough.
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❤️
I have had many dogs over the past 4 decades & Dr. Dzierga is the kindest & most compassionate I have ever crossed paths with. She is truly a special person.
Absolutely amazing. Putting down a pet is one of the hardest things to do and she made it so much easier on me. I could not have asked for a kinder person to help me with this process.
Dr. Briell Dzierga is an angel. We had to say goodbye to our sweet 20yr old kitty, Belle, two weeks ago. Dr. Dzierga was more amazing and wonderful than I could have wished for. I can't even put into words. She did not rush us during the process. It was a peaceful process. We are still grieving but Dr. Dzierga was the most caring person I've ever met and, when it comes time for our other senior kitties, I will be calling Dr. Dzierga.

Dr.Briell was a true Godsend! She was extremely professional, yet also extremely kind and compassionate. She patiently answered all of our questions and carefully explained every step of the process. We couldn’t have had a better Vet help us say goodbye to our very beloved dog. Dr. Briell came as a professional but left as a caring and welcome friend.
Dr Dzierga was so special. She was kind and caring. She took special care of our precious Molly, plying her with treats and affection. She was respectful of our loss. I will always call on her, at our home, to preform this special service. We miss Molly but know she is in a better place.
Dr. Briell was the kindest, most compassionate young woman I could have asked for. It was evident how much she loves helping dogs and their humans. It was horrible losing Mickey but being able to let him go so peacefully, without pain, and at home, got us through it. She was so sweet and loving, I don’t know how I would have made it. I miss him more than I can say and always will. I have his sweet and lovable personality and all the wonderful memories of my best friend to hold onto. Thank you so much Dr. Briell!
This was our first at home euthanasia and we would absolutely prefer this for future needs. Dr. Dzierga is truly caring and empathetic. She is a blessing and words cannot convey the depth of gratitude we have for her being so gentle and loving with our sweet Libby.
