Very grateful we have these 24/7 facilities nearby. My dog was very unwell on a Saturday and I was able to get her in quickly. She deteriorated and they went through many tests over a few days to figure it out and fix. I dont think she would have made it without them. The vets were great at keeping me posted - each would call with updates, test results and estimated costs, every few hours. They gave her wonderful care and it was good they were with her all night too as Id have worried leaving her alone overnight at a regular vet. Costs are high as unfortunately there is no medicare for pets. So I would recommend pet insurance - I ended up paying 20% with my pet insurance.

Our first visit to AEC was in mid September for our very unwell 15 year old pup Ruby (regular vet was unavailable). From the emergency call at home to reaching AEC within an hour we felt supported and heard. Reception staff, the vets and all of the back end staff turned such a heartbreaking decision for our family into a peaceful and calm end of life for Ruby. Thank you to your whole team for your care, compassion and professionalism. We miss her incredibly but know Ruby is now at peace x

I gave a score of 10 out of 10 because when my dog ate chocolate late one night over Christmas, the out of hours emergency vet team were absolutely wonderful. They were calm, kind and extremely helpful at a very stressful time, explaining everything clearly and making me feel reassured that my dog was in safe hands. Thanks to their quick care and professional advice, she was perfectly fine afterwards. The genuine compassion and support shown by the staff made all the difference, and I am very grateful for their service.

We take pride in our services

Our skilled team is dedicated to providing prompt, compassionate and professional care for your furry companions, ensuring they receive the best treatment during their time of need.

Our consultation rooms are designed to be a simple, soothing environment. They are used for the initial assessment of less critical patients and discussions with owners prior to admitting animals for treatment. More critical cases will be transferred directly to the treatment area upon arrival.

All hospitalised patients are monitored continuously throughout their stay, with vets and trained personnel on duty at all times. Your companion stays in a comfortable, clean cage visible to all of our staff. We discourage toys and blankets from home – with the high amount of traffic at our hospital, it is difficult to guarantee they will return home.

MAKE A REFERRAL CALL US

Our intensive care unit contains sophisticated monitoring and diagnostic equipment to look after the most critical of our patients.
