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.

My family and I are deeply grateful to Dr. LeBlanc for guiding us through a most difficult and challenging time with empathy and compassion. She explained the process with kindness, gave us as much time as we needed to say our final goodbyes, and reassured us that this was the best decision given our dog’s condition.

Dr Bufford was very kind and caring.. As incredibly sad as the circumstances for her visit, it did make it very special for us and Ruby.. It was very important to us that she was able to pass over in her home surrounded by love.. Dr Bufford is incredibly passionate and I am forever thankful for her service.

If Dr, Josh Williams had been Maggie’s Vet, he would most likely have identified her weak heart in time to add years to her life. But we were grateful to finally get clarification of her previously unidentified condition which explained her challenges. Dr. Williams eased her pain, and ours, by being there through the gentle steps of painless passage. Thanks to him, and Coda Pet, Maggie never even felt a needle. When you consider in-home pet euthanasia, trust Coda Pet to send you a professional and compassionate veterinarian. We are glad we did.

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.

She was the perfect person during this extremely hard time. She came in and sat down on the floor with me and our dog and took the time to ask about her. It really made me feel like she truly cared. She was so kind and empathetic and I would highly recommend her when it comes time to say goodbye to your beloved pet.
