About Vet
Dr. Kim Patterson is dedicated to helping you provide a peaceful, compassionate goodbye to your beloved pets in the comfort of home. Growing up in Western New York, Dr. Patterson pursued her passion for animals by studying Biology and Animal Behavior at Canisius College, where she also conducted research on beluga whales. After falling in love with Ontario, she earned her DVM from the University of Guelph in 2016. With experience in both small animal and equine practice, Dr. Patterson is excited to offer in-home euthanasia services in her hometown of Buffalo and the surrounding areas. Dr. Patterson became a veterinarian to combine her love for animals, the human-animal bond, and science. Through her diverse experiences, she found that guiding families through end-of-life care is one of the most meaningful ways she can make a difference. Her goal is to ease the emotional burden for families, ensuring pets pass peacefully and with dignity in a familiar, loving environment. When she’s not caring for patients, Dr. Patterson enjoys spending time outdoors hiking and gardening with her family. She is also a black belt in taekwondo and loves training with her daughter. Over the years, many animals have held a special place in her heart, including her Golden Retriever mix, Lilly, and her horse, Servaz.

Pet euthanasia and cremation pricing in Buffalo, NY

Your credit card is required to reserve your appointment. However, no payment is required until the appointment and nothing is due until the appointment is completed

We charge cancellation fee of $100 if an appointment is cancelled less than 4 hours before the start time. If your pet passes away before your appointment you would not be charged a cancellation fee. If the vet you scheduled is able, and you would like their assistance with cremation, then pickup fee would apply instead of euthanasia fee

Other Consideration

If you have a larger pet, your vet may need the help of one friend or family member. Talk to your vet about options and limitations when they reach out to you prior to your appointment, and they will inform you of any extra cost for your situation. 

Options for your pets return home and memorabilia depend on your local provider. Your vet coordinate the return of your pet’s ashes and let you know if there are additional fees for urn delivery. 

Extra time or medications needed can affect the total price. Other factors can be if it is decided that it’s not time to euthanize your pet after the vet has arrive. In that case, only the travel fee, platform fee, and a quality of life consult would apply. 

FAQs

The total cost includes the in-home pet euthanasia service fee, any travel fee (if any apply), and a platform fee. Additionally, depending on your choice, fees may apply for cremation services or keepsakes.

During your appointment, your vet will confirm your aftercare selection with you. If you choose to arrange cremation services, your vet will oversee your pet’s transportation to a local facility for cremation. If your preferred cremation option includes the return of your pet’s ashes to you, your vet will discuss the process to reunite you with your pet's ashes and the anticipated time frame during your appointment

Yes, upon arrival the veterinarian will assess your pet. This can look different than an “nose to tail” examination in a clinic setting and will focus more on the pet’s history and quality of life.

It is not uncommon to have doubts about whether the time is right. If you’ve taken the Quality of Life Questionnaire and are still unsure, we recommend consulting with your family veterinarian before scheduling an appointment.

Rest assured, if you book an appointment, your in-home euthanasia veterinarian will let you know if they do not believe that euthanasia is appropriate at this time.

You can expect your veterinarian to be in your home from 20-60 minutes, depending on how much of that time you need or want throughout the process.

My heart is filled with gratitude for this service. Everyone I spoke with was so kind and Dr. Josh Williams went above and beyond in his willingness to communicate with respect and clear genuine love for animals and their people. Few jobs could rival the emotional challenge of that where one steps in to help create a safe and peaceful end of life and I am so grateful to Josh for being capable and willing to do so. My dog, Shelby, passed peacefully in my arms at home. Josh was both professional and engaged with our experience. He held space for our grieving process and his work was done with so much compassion for Shelby and for us. I think it was easier for the other dogs so they could be a part of the grieving process rather than confused about why their friend left and didn’t come back. The gift of keeping Shelby comfortable at home to help her transition is one that will forever be in my heart and I am eternally grateful. Thank you so very much, Dr. Williams and your team. 🙏🏽

It’s always a pet owners most difficult decision to have to help them cross over. We were just passing thru the area when we had to make ours. We are very thankful for Dr Jackson in helping Huckleberry be at peace and free from pain in his last moments. I’ve had a very traumatic experience in the past with taking a pet in to a vets office and him dying in the back room and the office not allowing me to be with him while he was waiting to be seen and I never wanted that to happen again. Huckleberry was able to be surrounded by family and the love he so deserved on his last day earth-side. Dr Jackson was very kind to give us a private moment with him before the final moment, and took care of the cremation and made sure his ashes was returned within a few days before we had to leave town. Thank you Dr Jackson for your help, you helped make a sad day a more meaningful one.

If you are faced with this most difficult of decisions, do not hesitate to call Dr. Briell Dzierga - so kind, compassionate, thorough and considerate throughout our time spent facing this decision and ultimately choosing to let our sweet boy go.

We’re incredibly grateful that Josh was there to help our boy peacefully cross over. He took the time to explain everything, and his presence made us feel safe and comforted, even during such an unbearably difficult moment. Given the circumstances, we wouldn’t have wanted to say goodbye any other way. Josh will always hold a special place in our hearts, and we are deeply thankful for his compassion and the gift he gave us.

I can't say enough about the care and true feelings Dr. Jessica had for my cat Sasi and I. She provided us with everything for a gentle and comfortable good bye for my sweet girl. I was able to continue petting her gently the entire time. I highly recommend this service to anyone with a beloved pet.❤️

We set up an appointment for my fur baby, Lord Pepe. Unfortunately, his health declined rapidly and we required an appointment sooner than what we had scheduled. We were already in distress. Yet, each interaction with the CodaPet Care Team. They were empathetic, had active listening skills and were overall phenomenal. When it was time to interact with Dr. Chapman, she was stellar. We were not sure what to expect. Dr. Chapman explained the process, understood what our fur baby means to us. We were not rushed and Lord Pepe was treated like royalty. That meant the world to us. We are extremely grateful she was available to assist us. We need more people as benevolent as Dr. Chapman. We were able to say our goodbyes in peace. Dr. Chapman even went above and beyond to acknowledge Lady Pepper, our Tortoiseshell. She ensured Lady Pepper had her time to also say her goodbye. In an already stressful and anguish situation, don't look further and reach out to the CodaPet Care Team and Dr. Chapman. We highly recommend them to assist you during a demise situation.
