Frequently Asked Questions
Urgent appointments are for situations where your pet is experiencing a sudden decline, visible pain, distress, or other time-sensitive end-of-life needs — and no standard appointment times are available.
These requests are most appropriate when care is needed same-day, but existing time slots don’t work or aren’t shown
No — this is not an emergency service.
Urgent requests are not designed for situations that require immediate intervention. If your pet is in critical distress, please contact a 24/7 emergency veterinary clinic.
Not immediately. Your request is sent to licensed veterinarians in your area. If one is able to help, they will reach out directly to discuss the proposed arrival time and any additional fees.
After you agree on the details, you will receive a booking link to confirm the appointment.
Response times can vary. Vets who offer flexible availability typically try to reach out as soon as they’re able — but they may be attending to other pet families or personal responsibilities before they can respond.
While many pet parents hear back within a few hours, we can’t guarantee a timeframe. We recommend continuing to explore other options until you’ve connected with a vet.
Yes, urgent appointments usually include an additional fee based on the time of day or night, your location, and the vet’s ability to accommodate. You’ll see all estimated costs before confirming your appointment.
Unfortunately, urgent appointments are not guaranteed bookings. If no vet is immediately available, your request stays open and visible to local providers — and we’ll notify you if someone is able to help.
In the meantime, we strongly recommend continuing your search for care. You can explore alternative in-home providers at: inhomepeteuthanasia.com
Yes. If a vet accepts your request, they’ll try to connect with you as soon as possible — often by text message for speed, or with a phone call when needed.
This allows you to confirm the proposed time and any added fees, and ask any questions before the booking link is sent.

Lexi was our first family pet, so we'd never used a service like this and I didn't know it was an option until I unfortunately had to consider it this past week. Amy came by last evening and was very kind and considerate. She sat with us and allowed us to start the process when we felt comfortable. She was especially kind to my children who were having a rough time, as we all were. We are very thankful this service exists, and for Amy.
Dr. Huntley was able to come to our house within 24 hour period, as our friend and pet Elmer, could not get into a car and the last 2 days, get up from the floor, so, it was time to help him, though I was not ready. Nobody ever is. Dr. Huntley is SO compationate with our family, who was there to say goodbye. My wife and I held him so he knew that we were going to miss him. I would have rather met Dr. Huntley in another way, but we are glad, there is a service that can take care of everything. She was very respectful and compassionate when it came to the "time" and the after care. Elmer is running with his friends that left us before, and I can't wait to see them all again.
Dr. Causey was absolutely amazing. She compassionately helped our once in a lifetime dog transition and comforted us at the same time. We highly recommend Dr. Causey.
Dr. Gary Hsia exceeded my expectations. He was so compassionate . He never rushed us as we said our goodbyes to our beloved Mali. I highly recommend him.
Dr. Murray was so kind and empathetic.The compassion he provided to us and our loved one was so special. . I am forever grateful to Dr. Murray for the care and respect he showed our family and pet. Thank you so much Sarah Vidosh and Ike RIP❤️
Putting my beloved Avery down was the hardest day of my life. While there is no easy way to do that, Dr. Noe made the experience so much better. From the moment she came to my house, her calm presence put everyone at ease, including my dog. She was professional, yet spoke as if she had known Avery for years. She gave us as much time as we needed to say goodbye to our baby without feeling rushed. After Avery passed, Dr. Noe gave a heartfelt speech and hugged us all. I couldn't imagine having to euthanize in any other way.
