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.

Dr. Megan Lowman was fantastic when I needed someone for an in-home euthanasia of my dog. She did a thorough assessment, listened to my concerns, and reassured me that I had made the right decision. Her calm, gentle demeanor was incredibly helpful during such a difficult time and she went out of her way to ensure the experience was what my dog and I needed - even allowing me and my other dog time to grieve together after the procedure. I hope to never have to do this again, but if I do, in-home euthanasia with CodaPet and Dr. Lowman will be my #1 choice!

I thank Dr. Danielle for helping us get our son to a better place away from the pain he was suffering. We highly recommend Dr.Danielle, her way of working is so humane and sensitive, we felt safe with her when proceeding with euthanasia at home, she took her time, we talked and everything flowed naturally. Thank you for helping our son Coby have wings.

After 16 wonderful years with our beloved dog, Mickey, it was time to say good bye. We chose in-home pet euthanasia with Codapet. Dr. Megan Lowman was so kind, comforting, and expertly managed this difficult day. Although this was a very sad day, we are so thankful that Dr. Lowman helped us provide a peaceful end.

I unfortunately had to have my sweet corgi put to sleep due to sudden, unexpected health issues. She was hospitalized at the vet for 2 days, and I couldn’t bare the thought of her not being able to be home for one last night and day. I was able to make an appointment with Dr. Heather on Friday afternoon when Abby was released from the vet to have her peaceful put to rest at home the next day. It was a true blessing at such a horrible time to have the option to have Abby at home where she was comfortable in a familiar environment. Dr. Heather was kind and thoughtful throughout the entire visit. She spoke to my Abby with love and you could tell you genuinely cared. I would highly recommend Dr Heather and Coda Pet to anyone faced with this decision.

Dr. Lori Schmalz was the best possible person to get me through something that's unbearable. She's compassionate and professional and I'm happy that I found her.

I chose in-home pet euthanasia for my beloved dog Cafe. He was the best dog and I wanted his final journey to be at home where he knew and felt loved, safe, and comfortable. Dr Danielle Hundley cared for him when he became ill and she is the most kind, caring and compassionate veterinarian I've ever had the pleasure of having care for my dog. I was so fortunate and relieved to know she would come to my home when I realized it was Cafe's time to go. It was a devastating time for me, but she made it the best experience possible and cared for Cafe as if he was her own pet. I can't express how much this meant to me and how grateful I am, knowing Cafe had the very best care at the end of his life. Thank you so much.
