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.

Faced the difficult decision to euthanize our beloved 18 year old Papillon and used Codapet to do it in our home as our dog hated to go to the vet. Dr. Katie Todd arrived and explained in detail the process, gave us plenty of time to say our goodbyes, and made the process as easy as possible. She was very reassuring to my children that we had made the right decision and explained all the options for taking care of the remains and provided us with keepsakes to ease the family’s pain. Thank you so much Dr.Todd in doing what has to be one of the world’s toughest jobs!
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.
Jessica was so patient, compassionate, and gracious during a very difficult time. She explained everything thoroughly and made sure that we were in agreement with every step of the process. She spoke to our Gus as if she knew him and how special he was.
Dr. Bailey was amazing and so supportive of our entire family as we dealt with putting Elsa to rest. We couldn’t have been more pleased with the respect she showed our dog. Elsa was happy as Dr. Bailey explained the process and eased her into receiving the medications. We are very thankful for Dr. Bailey’s support.
Dr. Lisa made herself available for a last-minute urgent call for us and she couldn’t have been more lovely and caring. This is obviously a challenging and sad time for anyone in the position to call. She treated it with reverence and kindness. Feel lucky to have had her.
Dr. Noe was so compassionate and gentle with my Molly. Her husband came as her assistant who also took the time to make sure Molly was comfortable. I was able to hold Molly in my arms during her process and it was very peaceful.. This is the 2nd time I have used Codapet and would highly recommend it them. They took great care of my Molly Girl.
