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

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.

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 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!

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.

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!
