What We Do

If you’re worried about your pet, we’re here to help

Our Animal Emergency Service hospitals provide immediate emergency vet care when your pet is unwell. You know your furry family better than anyone else, so if you’re worried, call us or come straight down – we’ll always see your pet.

We’re open when your vet is closed

Waiting until your vet opens may not be a good idea especially if you don’t know wha tis bothering your furry, feathered or scaly friend.

You’ll be joining over half a million people in Brisbane, on the Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast, and Hobart who have trusted us to give them peace of mind with their pet’s veterinary care after hours.
