CodaPet adds Buffalo veterinarian for at-home pet euthanasia

CodaPet expanded its in-home pet euthanasia network in Buffalo by adding licensed veterinarian Marissa Weaver to serve families in Western New York. The move gives pet owners more end-of-life options at home, with service starting at $375 in Buffalo.

Why it matters: - CodaPet’s Buffalo expansion gives pet owners another end-of-life option when clinic visits are stressful, difficult or unavailable. - The service is designed to let pets pass at home, surrounded by family and familiar surroundings. - The new coverage also aims to reduce pressure on emergency and general veterinary practices, especially on nights and weekends.

What happened: - CodaPet added licensed veterinarian Dr. Marissa Weaver to expand in-home pet euthanasia in Buffalo. - Dr. Weaver plans to serve Buffalo and surrounding areas across Western New York. - The company’s network now includes services in Buffalo, Amherst, Cheektowaga, Clarence, Batavia, Lockport, Grand Island, Rochester and Henrietta. - CodaPet also serves surrounding parts of Erie, Genesee and Orleans counties, plus portions of Niagara, Monroe, Wyoming and Livingston counties.

The details: - Dr. Weaver is a Western New York native who grew up in Elma and now lives in Pembroke with her fiancé, two dogs and two bunnies. - She earned her Doctor of Veterinary Medicine from Cornell University. - CodaPet says its veterinarians contact families before the appointment to answer questions and review the pet’s diagnosis and quality-of-life needs. - The visit averages about one hour. - The euthanasia procedure itself lasts about 15 minutes. - Pet parents get private time with their pets before and after the procedure. - The veterinarian begins only when everyone is ready. - CodaPet can also help arrange transportation and cremation aftercare. - Buffalo pricing starts at $375 for in-home euthanasia. - Aftercare and cremation start at $110, with final cost depending on driving distance, pet size and whether cremation is private or communal. - CodaPet supports a network of licensed veterinarians in more than 100 cities. - More information is available on CodaPet’s website and in the company’s veterinarian information page.

Between the lines: - Dr. Weaver said Buffalo has strong veterinary care options, but 24-hour facilities can be overwhelmed and many general practices cannot easily offer home visits. - Her comments suggest CodaPet is targeting a practical gap in end-of-life care, not replacing routine veterinary services. - The company is leaning on local veterinarians to make the service feel familiar and community-based rather than remote or transactional.

What's next: - CodaPet appears set to keep adding veterinarians and expanding the service footprint beyond Buffalo. - Dr. Weaver’s arrival should make the service more visible to families in Western New York who want a lower-stress alternative for euthanasia. - The company’s broader growth model depends on recruiting more licensed veterinarians to join its network.
