About Vet
Dr. Kimberly 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.

This is not something that anyone ever wants to go through but if you must, Cara is a wonderful guide and provider. I had to go through this alone due to the holidays but felt like none of that mattered thanks to the compassion and warmth that Cara provided as she helped my Lucy pass peacefully. She was communicative, punctual, extremely professional, explained things in an easy to understand manner and most of all just such a calming and peaceful presence for my pet and my (admittedly in shambles) self.

It’s such a hard decision to make when your best friend has reached the point when he is suffering more than simply struggling. Dr. Struble is extremely compassionate and patient. She made sure my old boy was comfortable and that we could have the time we needed to say goodbye. She explained the process in a kind and quiet way, completely respectful of our feelings in such a solemn moment. Thank you, Dr Struble for helping us make sure Zeus had a peaceful journey over the rainbow bridge.

Codapet was very easy to use and navigate. Dr. Kellie Ayle was sweet, kind and thoughtful. The entire process of codapet, Dr. Ayle, and cremation service went very smooth.

I cannot recommend thank Dr. Natalie Dennis enough for her exceptional kindness and compassion during one of the most difficult times in our lives. She was incredibly gentle and caring not only to us but also to Ranger our beloved German Shepherd, making the process of saying goodbye as peaceful as possible. I would highly recommend her to any pet parents having to go through this process. We're forever grateful for her support and care.

We first lost our Frenchie to a brain tumor, then a few months later, our Pomeranian's hip dysplasia got to painful for him to walk. We loved the option of in home euthanasia, so our little guys could be on their favorite bed, surrounded by our love. Dr. Ayle was kind and patient. She really made the experience the best it could be. Our little guys went to sleep peacefully. Losing your little guys is very painful, but if you have to, CodaPet is definitely the way to go.
