Today we brought an injured stray cat from our neighbourhood to ARH 24/7 Emergency & Specialist Vet. From the moment we arrived, the receptionist was warm and welcoming, and a vet saw her immediately. They checked for a microchip, explained everything clearly, and treated her shoulder wound with great care. The vet reassured us that the injury was not serious, provided pain relief, and advised us to follow up with a regular vet for stitches and antibiotics to keep the cost down. We were incredibly touched that they did not charge us any fees not even the initial $280 consultation fee and even gave us a simple carrier to transport her safely. We are truly grateful for their compassion, professionalism, and generosity. Thank you for helping this vulnerable cat and supporting those of us who are trying to care for her.

My lil man was very sick, he was a mystery and had so much going on with him that I thought I would lose him. The Crital care team and Dr Emily were Amazing. Even when another issue occurred which put us what felt like at square 1 the staff went above and beyond to get my lil man back home. Big thank you to Dr Mark Haworth, Dr Rachel Soh and Dr Corrine James for the time, effort and care you put in with Simba. Also Dr Emily Pritchard who helped immensely in bringing him home. I received regular, honest updates during Simbas care. The progress is Wonderful and I still have my lil man to cuddle.

Dear Dr. Hubacker and the ARH Team, I have always said that good health is priceless. I am writing to express my sincere gratitude for the exceptional care provided to my dog, Nikki, this past Sunday. As our regular veterinarian was unavailable, this was my first experience with ARH. I was thoroughly impressed by your professional staff. I particularly appreciate your honoring our Healthy Pets Plus membership by waiving the consultation fee; this gesture was greatly appreciated. Nikki is recovering well and remains resilient. As instructed, we will attend a follow-up appointment with our regular veterinarian this Friday. Thank you again, Dr. Hubacker and the entire team, for your support and for ensuring Nikkis well-being. Best regards, Peter Kuriakos

Blood Donor Program

You may not have ever thought about it, but just like humans, some sick pets need blood transfusions to survive. Accidents and illnesses such as trauma, rat bait toxicity, immune disorders, cancer, and snake bites can cause life-threatening blood loss. In these cases, a single blood donation can save up to three critically ill animals.

 

If your pet is suitable, they can be added to our blood donor register and help save lives, they will also receive:

  • A $100 Petbarn voucher
  • A FREE full physical exam with each donation
  • A FREE blood test with each donation

All donor candidates undergo a thorough but non-invasive health screening to ensure they are healthy and won’t be adversely affected by giving blood. In fact, for many pets, this may be the most comprehensive health assessment they’ve ever had, giving you peace of mind while they help others.

Donations are spaced at least every three months. During the process, your pet will receive a light anaesthetic and be placed on IV fluids to ensure a smooth and safe recovery. The whole process takes less than 15 minutes!

Canine Donor Criteria

  • Must have a good temperament
  • Be between 1-8 years old
  • Weigh more than 25kg
  • Be up to date with all vaccinations, tick prevention & heartworm medications
  • Be in good health with no serious illnesses or long-term medications
  • Have never received a blood transfusion previously

Feline Donor Criteria

  • Must have a good temperament & ideally an indoor cat
  • Be between1-8 years old
  • Weigh more than 4kg
  • Be up to date with all vaccinations & prevention medications
  • Be in good health with no serious illnesses or long-term medications
