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. Dzierga was so compassionate and caring. She helped us feel better about our decision and talked us through every step. She gave us insight on talking to our child about what happened as well. I did appreciate that we were able to be as active in the process as we wanted and felt comfortable doing. I will definitely recommend her services to anyone going through a similar experience.

Review by Dr. Briell Dzierga

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

Dr. Dzierga was amazing. She fully assessed the readiness of our beloved Hershey and our family for his passing. She was kind, compassionate and made a very difficult day one that we will never forget..Not as much for the loss but more for the beautiful way she assisted our family and Hershey in passing peacefully with dignity and respect. She allowed us ample time with him and fully explained every step of the process. She was extremely considerate of how long she allowed us with him after his passing and even more considerate of how she prepared him for transport to the crematorium. I cannot say enough great things about Dr. Dzierga and how much we appreciate her. Hershey is in a better place now and we are at peace in part because he is no longer suffering but also because of the way he was allowed to pass. Thank you Dr. Dzierga!

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.

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

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!
