Why I provide at-home pet euthanasia
I’ve always had a love for animals and really enjoy science and medicine. Becoming a veterinarian always made sense to me. In my career at the zoo, I’ve been fortunate to participate in the conservation and care of many animals, including ensuring a good quality of life and a gentle, dignified death – when the time comes. Experiencing the in-home euthanasia of my two elderly cats last year helped me understand the impact an intimate, supportive experience has on the pet and their family. As I transition from zoo life, I am drawn to offer that same compassionate end of life care for other families in their time of need.

What pet parents are saying
Dr. Brittany was a gentle blessing to our family in such a sad time. She was professional and kind. She guided us through the process of sending off our beloved Dragon with compassion and no pain for our boy. She was also communicative before and after her visit, regularly keeping us informed by text. I also appreciate the loving care she took wrapping Dragon in a blanket and having a little basket to transport him. She was tender and empathetic throughout the process. We are so grateful to have such a wonderful and calming doctor give us our last gifts with Dragon at our home. THANK YOU DR. BRITTANY
One of the hardest decisions of my life was to put our family’s beloved pet, Rocky, to rest. He was mentally sharp, but his body couldn’t provide him with the quality of life he desperately deserved. Reaching out to Coda Pet put us in contact with Dr. Brittany Rizzo who made this painful process bearable. Upon arrival, she calmy greeted Rocky along with my kids and I. Rocky, who was a chihuahua, shockingly was very welcoming to her presence. Brittany briefly explained the processed and was so patient with all of us while we said our finial “see-ya laters” to him. As sad as it was to let him go, I couldn’t have asked for anything to go any different that day. Thank you, Dr. Rizzo for being there for us but especially for Rocky.
