What does the euthanasia process involve?

We begin with a compassionate consultation to discuss your pet’s condition and your wishes. Then sedation and pain relief are given, followed by the euthanasia injection. We stay with you and your pet throughout to ensure comfort.

Do I need an appointment for euthanasia?

Yes. While we try to be as accommodating as possible, euthanasia appointments are scheduled so you and your pet have privacy, and we can prepare everything needed for your comfort.

How do I prepare my pet for euthanasia?

Depending on your pet’s condition, we might recommend bringing familiar items, soft bedding, favorite toy or blanket, or sedation if needed. We’ll discuss what’s best during your consultation.

What are options for aftercare or memorials?

We offer options including cremation or burial, keepsake memorial items, and grief support. We’ll explain all choices and associated costs so you can make the best decision for your family.

Will euthanasia be painful or distressing for my pet?

No. Our goal is to ensure a peaceful, pain-free passing. We use sedation or pain relief prior to the final injection to minimize any stress or discomfort.

What are the costs involved for euthanasia?

Costs vary based on your pet’s size, aftercare choices, and any additional services. We provide a clear estimate during the consultation so there are no surprises.

Can I stay with my pet during euthanasia?

Absolutely. We encourage family members to be present with their pet during euthanasia to provide comfort, support, and closure.

Understanding Pet Euthanasia

Your pet is a family member.

Making end-of-life decisions is a challenging one, and one you don’t have to do alone. We understand the immense weight of choosing pet euthanasia. We make it our business to ensure you’re not only at peace with your decision but that your pet is comfortable, ideally with you by their side. Our euthanasia services are offered in-clinic, in a calming room for you and your pet.

We’ll be right there with you providing comfort and a gentle, dignified experience for your pet.

When is it time?

It may never feel like it’s time.

Losing a pet is one of the most challenging experiences to go through. You love your pet, and the last thing you want is for their quality of life to suffer.

Generally, we start discussing pet end of life care when your pet’s illness or injuries impact their overall quality of life. We don’t take these decisions lightly, and we discuss your options with you thoroughly.

If you feel that euthanasia may be the next best decision for your pet, we can talk you through the choice and next steps.

Reviews from Pet Parents

As a walk-in vet in Edmond, Oklahoma, we’ve had the honor of supporting hundreds of Oklahoma City metro families and individuals, treating their pets with urgency and compassion.

But don’t just take it from us! Hear what fellow pet parents have to say about the Urgent Pet Care experience.

This place is the best. They are patient, friendly, and very reasonable with transparent pricing. I brought my dog in on a Sunday morning and they treated her very quickly. We were in and out in less than an hour with an effective treatment plan. The facility is super clean and easy to access. I recommend their services 100%, no question!

Our family dogs have been here twice. The first time it was due to some back pain my young dog was experiencing. They treated her quickly, well and accurately. The second time while unfortunate and had to say goodbyes, the staff was still quick, well and accurate. The room was comfortable and everyone was very professional and kind. I do trust this emergency vet.

I have to say this place is wonderful!! We unfortunately had to put our doggie to sleep on a Sunday evening…they were open and honest with us letting us know it was time to let him go! They waited for my husband and youngest daughter to get there before they did anything. Let us spend as much time as we needed with him before taking him away. For being a horrible time they made it the best they could. They took care of the after care and we got him back home with in a week. I can’t thank you all enough for the honesty, care, and understanding you gave our family and our Chico!

Very compassionate care for our 12-year-old Corgi, Buddy. Dr. Jaycox was highly informative as to our options. Our final decision was for the most humane option to let our Buddy Bear crossover. We will always be thankful for Dr. Jaycox and the kind vet techs that loved on our Buddy until the end.

Had to take our pup for stitches. The staff was so friendly and caring. We immediately felt our pup was in good hands. The office was extremely clean. We had no wait and were in and out within 30 minutes. This is a great place to go if you have a pet emergency without spending an arm and a leg. And no appointment is needed!

They helped my baby after she got attacked by another dog. They have viewing windows to keep an eye on them during parts of the process which I found super helpful as I was super stressed and didn’t want to separate from my pup. Terry (vet tech) was great, a big piece of why I love this place. Will definitely return, but hope to not have to 😅

Your initial consultation will cost $100. Additional fees depend on the type of care we provide to your pet.

Due to the nature of medical emergencies, its not possible to provide a thorough estimate without an examination.

What are my payment options?

We accept all major credit cards and cash as well as CareCredit and Scratch Pay. Payment is due at the time of service. We pride ourselves on being a reasonably priced urgent pet care and are transparent about pricing at the time of service.

Do you accept pet insurance?

If your pet is covered by a Pet Insurance Policy, we will happily work with you and the insurance company to provide the necessary documents for owner reimbursement. We also work with Trupanion, who will pay the vet directly, if you are in their payment program. Please note: You are still responsible for payment in full at the time service is rendered. We DO NOT bill the insurance company.

What if my pet needs more than what Urgent Pet Care Center can provide?

In the event your pet’s illness or injuries require more care than we can provide (i.e. overnight hospitalization) we will discuss referral to a 24-hour Specialty facility. We work closely with the Veterinary Emergency Referral Center of Norman, our partnership allows for a smooth and timely transition of care.

My primary veterinarian is closed. Can you fill my pet’s prescriptions?

We cannot fill prescriptions without an exam. In the event you run out of an essential medication for your pet and your primary care vet’s office is closed, your pet will need to be examined and we will fill up to 5 days worth of medication.

Does my primary vet know that I’ve visited urgent care?

Urgent Pet Care Center utilizes an online portal so your pet’s veterinarian has access to the complete medical record. Your primary care veterinarian will receive an email after your pet is discharged, informing them of your pet’s visit to the Urgent Care Center.

Do you offer end-of-life care?

Saying goodbye is never easy. We believe in providing compassionate care especially in those final moments. If your pet’s quality of life is declining, we offer end-of-life care. Cremation services are offered through Pet Passages.
