We provide you and your pets with an after-hours emergency service for critical illness or injury. We hope your pet never needs us for an emergency however, common emergencies relate to car accidents, heart conditions, poisoning and a range of injuries.
Please note that YOU MUST CALL to arrange an after hours visit. There is NO Vet at the clinic outside of opening hours automatically for this service.
Due to staffing changes in 2022, we are unable to promise a 24/7 after-hours service anymore. We are typically able to have a vet scheduled for after-hours emergencies Monday-Thursday but on some occasions & weekends, we may have to refer you to another emergency vet service in Bangalow.
