The Vet Practice

If you own a pet there's a good chance you'll need the advice or assistance of a vet after hours at least once in your pet's lifetime.

And it helps to be prepared for this.

Do you know who you can ring when your regular clinic is closed?

And more importantly, do you know how you can get there quickly if needed?

Avoid the stress of having to search the web for emergency centres or ringing directory assistance by being prepared for an emergency.

In some situations, every minute you delay in getting your pet to a vet can mean the difference between life or death for them.

First - find out whether your vet provides an after hours service.

If not, find out the number and location of your nearest animal emergency centre and keep the number handy.

Emergency centres are located across all parts of Melbourne and other capital cities.

For your convenience we have supplied an article listing some of the Animal Emergency Centres in and around Melbourne. (Refer Articles section)
