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
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.
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. 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.
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
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.
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 😇
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.
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.
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. 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!
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.
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. 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.
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. 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 ❤️ 💙
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.
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
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❤️
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!
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. 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.
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.
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.
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 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. 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 .
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
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 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.
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.
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.
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 !
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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. 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.
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.
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. 🙏🏼🕊️
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!!
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. 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.
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!
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.
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.
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 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 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. 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 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.
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!
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.
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.

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 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!!
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.
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.
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 ❤️ 💙
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.
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!
