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.

I’m not usually much for leaving reviews, but I feel obligated to do so. Dr Lori Thomas did a wonderful job. This was an extremely emotional time for my family and Dr. Lori Thomas was so kind and understanding. Dr. Lori Thomas was extremely empathetic and she definitely helped us cope with our grief. I totally recommend if anybody is dealing with the unfortunate decision of euthanizing their loving pet to opt for an in home euthanasia. Also, you will cope with your loss a little better if you choose Dr. Lori Thomas to perform the euthanasia.

As sad as having to lost a pet is, I was very happy with Dr. Sims and how loving and compassionate she was and the whole process was. I couldn't have imagined a better send-off for my pup.

My dear sweet 15 year old ginger girl made me smile every single day. So when she became ill, I had to make a tough choice. Dr. Dzierga arrived on the evening of our appointment. She was very compassionate. Informing me of the whole process, step by step. There was no rush, I was able to tell her all about my lovely girl and felt assured, by our conversation, that it was indeed the right time to let my sweet cat go. It was one of the hardest decisions I've ever made. The ability to have it done in my home, allowed my girl to go peacefully, without any added stress of being couped up in a carrier and driven to the vet. There was no fear added to the mix. She was home, on my lap, getting all the love as she drifted off. She was ready, even though my heart wasn't...

Dr.Amber was patient, kind, & empathetic. She made this difficult experience seamless. She is a true professional in every sense of the word. She brought a treat for our fur baby, even though he wasn’t eating. She also explained every step of the process & loved on him as well. You will not regret having her be a part of this painful process. She was a true angel.
