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

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.

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. 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.

Review by Dr. Briell Dzierga

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 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.

Review by 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 😇
