Emergency Care for Your Pet
At Geelong Veterinary Hospital, we understand that emergencies can happen when you least expect them. Whether it’s a car accident, poisoning, heart condition, or a sudden injury, we are here to provide urgent care when your pet needs it most.
What to Do in an Emergency
If your pet is experiencing an emergency during our opening hours, please call us immediately on (03) 5241 1796 so we can prepare for your arrival. Our experienced veterinary team will assess your pet as soon as they arrive and begin the necessary treatment.
After Hours
If an emergency occurs outside of our opening hours, please contact Geelong Animal Emergency Clinic on (03) 5222 2139. Their dedicated team is available to provide life-saving care when we are closed.
What to Expect
When you bring your pet in for an emergency, our veterinarians will perform a rapid assessment to determine the best course of action. We understand that this can be a stressful time, and we will do our best to provide a cost estimate before proceeding with any treatment. However, emergencies can be unpredictable, and costs may vary depending on the extent of care needed.
Our team will keep you informed throughout your pet’s treatment and recovery. In some cases, we may need to refer your pet to a specialist veterinary centre or 24-hour emergency facility for advanced care. Your pet’s well-being is always our top priority.
Be Prepared
Emergencies are stressful, but knowing where to go before one happens can make all the difference. If you’d like to discuss our emergency services and after-hours arrangements, please contact us—we’re happy to answer any questions.
For immediate assistance, call us now at (03) 5241 1796.
