Please see below from our wonderful caring colleagues.Dear pet parents!

We are very sorry but unfortunately, our hospital has reached it's capacity at the moment. Our team is working with multiple critical patients trying to support them and their families during a very hard time.
We ask for your understanding and patience while our team works tirelessly to be there for those who need them most.

We kindly ask you to call 6225 7257 so our experienced Client Care and Nurse teams can provide an initial triage assessment in case your pet needs veterinary assistance too. We will provide you as much advice as possible to find a solution to your enquiry.
In case we can categorise your animal as stable, our teams will provide you all the support needed to find the best solution as we will only be accepting critical patients tonight.

We are all humans who love animals a lot, so please remember to treat us with respect and kindness as we just want to help pets who need us.

We hope you are staying safe tonight.
Please never hesitate to call and ask for advice if we can help.

Kindest regards,
Canberra Veterinary Emergency Service team.
