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.

We are so grateful that Dr. Courtney White was available to us, last minute nonetheless. We were able to say goodbye to our precious boy Radar in his favorite spot in our backyard. Dr. White was so kind and compassionate, explaining the process as it progressed, allowing us to make the decisions we could. She truly understood the bond we had with our boy. We will cherish the memory of him forever ❤️

It's the service you never want but when it comes I was so thankful for Dr. Todd. She was so compassionate and patient with us. Our sweet cat was able to cross the rainbow bridge in the comfort of his home without the stress of being moved to a vets office in his final hours. She even brought his ashes back to us. I can't thank her enough for this. We also had to move his appointment up and she was quick to move to his needs. I hope I don't need their services for a long time for my other fur babies but I will use her again in the very, very distant future.

Dr. Sarah is the best choice for anyone who loves their pet. Saying goodbye is difficult enough but Dr. Sarah gave us time to do and say what we needed before beginning her procedure. It was done with gentleness and compassion. We’ll be forever thankful for contacting Solace and Dr Sarah.

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.

I wish I could give Sarah a 100 stars! As I told Sarah before she left, she is my hero and that she is an angel. I adopted Honey 14 months ago, she was 17 at that time. Her prior owner had passed away and she was up for adoption. My husband and I had decided we wanted to try adopting an older cat with the goal of giving the cat the best end of live as possible. When it came time for Honey’s end of life to come, the most important thing to me at that point was for her to be euthanized here at our home, where she was comfortable. My husband was traveling when it happened which meant I was alone. Before finding codapet. I had spent 24 hours looking for a veterinary that would travel here to our home. I gave in and booked an appointment for the next day at 4:00 pm with a veterinary in a town close to us. I was heart broken thinking I was going to have to put Honey in a crate, travel in a car and she was going to die in a place she had never been to before. Imagine the terror it would bring to her. My promise to Honey was to give her the best life I possibly could and I was failing at that promise. Then Sarah contacted me. Sarah agreed to come to our home the next day at 11:00. I never would have dreamed that I would be saying this but, it was beautiful. Sarah assured me that it was Honey’s time to go. Sarah and I both sat on the floor as Honey laid resting in her bed. Sarah made Honey feel comfortable with her. I held Honey’s paw and said my final good bye. Honey is at peace and hanging out with the person she first loved. I’m at peace because Sarah and codapet made Honey’s end of life perfect. Thank you Sarah!

Dr Lutri came to help our baby girl Selena cross the rainbow bridge. She was so very kind and compassionate during her visit and her wonderful bedside manner helped make our girls’ passing a little easier to handle. I cannot recommend her services enough and in general the services of at-home euthanasia. Thank you Dr for your help during that difficult time in our lives. We will never forget it.
