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.

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.
Dr. Gordon performed the euthanasia for my sweet soul dog of 16 years. It was the most peaceful experience I could’ve asked for. She knew exactly what to say and created such a calm environment to spend our final moments together. I’m very grateful for her service.
We are deeply thankful to Dr. Shannon Nakaya for the care and compassion she showed during our beloved dog Giggsy’s final moments. Saying goodbye was an incredibly painful decision and a very difficult day for us, but her kindness, patience, and gentle approach helped ease the burden. Dr. Nakaya guided us through the process with understanding and treated Giggsy with such tenderness and respect. Her compassion and professionalism truly made all the difference during this heartbreaking time.
Dr. White made it possible for us to say goodbye to our baby boy Radar where he was happiest, in his own backyard. The sun was shining on him as he gently moved on to wait for us. Saying goodbye has been more difficult than we ever imagined, but because of Dr. White’s compassionate care we remember only peace and love, up until the very end.
I can't say enough fabulous things about Dr. Jessica Pruitt! It was a hard decision (as it always will be) when its time for our "buddies" to have to leave us:( but Dr. Jessica is so gentle and kind. She explains everything, is very patient and my Molly just warmed right up to her which made things even easier. I can't express the gratitude to Dr. Jessica enough as she made this as peaceful as can be for all of us:) Thank you Dr. Jessica!
Dr. Norman was wonderful in helping our pet pass away peacefully at home. She was professional, compassionate and genuinely kind. We would highly recommend Dr. Norman and CodaPet for those looking for in home euthanasia services.
