24 Hour Hospital

We are Open 24hr

If you’re a vet who is experiencing an emergency with a pet patient, our new emergency centre is here for you 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Any vet, from anywhere in Sydney, can refer a patient to VSOS’s emergency centre and specialist animal hospital. Whether you need emergency specialist care, or your patient has become critical, you can contact VSOS. We will work with you to give your patient the best care possible.

Our specialist team will transfer the patient from your vet practice to our emergency centre for further treatment.

And we will communicate with you to keep you in the loop about your patient’s progress. And if it is safe to do so after treatment, we will transfer your patient back to your vet clinic.

A purpose-built hospital and emergency centre, specialists who are leaders in their fields, and state-of-the-art equipment… means an emergency centre you can rely on, time and time again to deliver critical care when it’s needed most.

Reception team

What will happen when I take my pet to emergency?

When you arrive with your pet at our new emergency centre, you will meet our highly experienced, friendly staff.

Our mission at VSOS with our new hospital and emergency centre is to make animals comfortable and pain-free as quickly as possible.

As with any normal emergency room, our triage nurse will assess your pet to check the level of emergency.

Of course, if it’s a critical emergency, then we will prioritise your pet’s needs. But if the emergency is less urgent, then we will need to prioritise more urgent cases.

Our exceptional staff will assess your pet, provide pain relief if needed, diagnose and treat your pet as appropriate. And we will guide you and your pet on the best way to get your beloved animal on the path to better health.
