Urgent Appointment Request

Requesting a visit outside the current availability allows a licensed vet to review your request and try to accommodate your pet's needs

How it works

Compassionate care
when you need it most

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.

Dr. Crozier did a great job. She contacted us before and took her time with us as our 14 year-old family member passed along. She followed up with us and delivered the ashes once they were complete. We’re so glad we did this at home so our two other dogs could be a part of the process as well. As heartbreaking as it was, it was nice to have somebody like Dr. Crozier empathetically walk us through the process. I would recommend her and her services without hesitation

Dr. Pilago showed so much care and compassion when we had to make the painful decision to put our handsome pup Rodney to sleep. I highly recommend her.

Dr. Sarah was so caring, calm, and professional. Our sweet boy who is usually nervous around strangers actually went to her. I knew he felt her sweet energy towards him. She made us feel as good and comforted as possible during the most heartbreaking situation.

Two weeks ago, Dr. Poole provided in-home euthanasia for my cat, and I am deeply grateful for her care and compassion during such a difficult time. She was incredibly professional, gentle, and kind. What meant the most to me was how clearly she explained each step of the process, so I knew exactly what to expect. That gave me the time and emotional preparation I needed, and helped me feel a sense of calm despite how hard the moment was. She treated my cat with great respect and dignity, and her empathy truly made a difference. Thank you, Dr. Poole for helping Mono leave this world peacefully.

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.

I am grateful for the care and kindness shown in letting go of our 17-year-old dog. Codapet and Dr. Blasier Duvall were incredibly professional as they helped us navigate this difficult decision and process.
