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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
