I would like pet owners to know about my experience with the Animal Emergency Centre at Kedron. I had rushed my beautiful furry friend of 16 years to the AEC Kedron in the early hours of a Saturday morning as her heart was failing. Sadly she passed away only moments after arriving at the centre. I just want to thank the vet surgeon and other staff for being so caring and compassionate even to the point of giving my wife and I lots of hugs and a box of tissues. The vet then told us we would not be billed for the service we received for our Bella. The AEC really made a horrible time of losing our best friend more bearable. My wife and I would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to all the staff at Animal Emergency Centre Kedron. Gary and Lili

I will be forever grateful to the entire team at AEC Kedron - from the receptionists and nurses to the vets. The compassion, kindness, and genuine care shown to my precious fur baby during such a terrifying time means more to me than words can express. They not only went above and beyond to care for Phoebe, but also took the time to support and reassure me when I was struggling. Allowing me to stay with her for as long as I needed while she remained under their professional care meant everything. Thank you for saving my baby and for being there for her when I couldnt

Could not speak more highly of the team at AEC Kedron as well as Greencross during care of our very unwell Penny earlier this week. Vets, nurses, reception all so caring and compassionate with both the animals and the humans! Though we are on what I suspect will be a long, winding road to recovery I am forever grateful to have her home and doing happy rolls at our local park.

Our services

Our facilities and vet services function as an extension of your family Kedron veterinary clinic after regular business hours, providing you with a thorough assessment and tailored plan that is appropriate to your specific circumstance.

We take pride in our specialty services

Our specialist practitioners provide world-class medical care in surgery, radiology, pathology, and pharmacy, and will talk you through a range of treatment options for your pet.

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.

Our surgery suite is equipped with advanced anaesthetic and ventilation machines complete with full monitoring equipment (including blood pressure, SpO2, PCO2, body temperature, ECG), heating facilities, suction machines and more.

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.

We are fully equipped to run full blood profiles, clotting tests, microscopy, urinalysis, blood gases, electrolytes, haematology and more to ensure we obtain fast results, usually within minutes. This enables fast and accurate diagnosis and treatment.

Common FAQ's

There is no such thing as a silly question, we are here to help so give us a call if you answer isn't below. 

The AEC accepts most payment options, including cash, Visa, Mastercard and Amex. We do not accept Diners Club cards or cheques. Accounts must be finalised when your pet is discharged. A deposit of a minimum of 50% of the estimated cost is required prior to admission for all hospitalised patients. Further deposits may be requested for patients staying longer than 24 hours. Please note: unlike some human emergency services, the AEC receives no government subsidies. AEC clinics are funded entirely by generated income, so fees are carefully set to ensure that the centres can provide all necessary resources for your special companions.

Pet insurance gives peace of mind in the event of significant trauma or illness, allowing you to concentrate on your pet and not have to worry about the cost.

We recommend pet insurance for all pets. Insurance allows vets to achieve the best outcomes for pets rather than having to make compromises based on finances. High-quality medical care costs a lot of money. The good news in the human world is that healthcare is Medicare-funded and many people have private health insurance. This is not the case in the animal world – health care costs remain high, but veterinary care is not subsidised by the government and few people have pet insurance. In other countries, such as the United Kingdom, pet insurance rates are much higher than in Australia. We see many cases each year where treatable conditions must be left untreated due to financial constraints, sometimes with dire consequences. Other times, limited finances mean care can be provided, but not at a level most likely to lead to a good outcome.

The benefit of pet insurance is you don’t have to come up with a large sum of money all at once. If your pet is insured and the unexpected happens, money is one less thing for you to worry about. Veterinarians love pet insurance because they can do what’s best for your pet without having to worry as much about money. A number of insurance companies provide pet insurance in the Australian market and provide a range of options. Some provide cover for preventative care, such as vet checks and vaccinations, while others focus on providing peace of mind for unexpected occurrences, such as illnesses, accidents or dog attacks.

 

MAKE A REFERRAL

As with any investment, be sure to read the fine print before purchasing a pet insurance plan. Some insurers have time limits on the length of cover provided for each illness, which may exclude long-term, chronic or recurring illnesses. Other plans may exclude certain breeds or types of illnesses from being covered or even have an age cut-off after which your pet is not covered. Thoroughly research the available plans to find one that is right for you and your pet. Be sure to find one that will cover them for their whole life, even if your diabetic, arthritic Pyrenean Mastiff gets hit by a care.
