AFTER-HOURS VETERINARY SUPPORT

ONE NUMBER, ANYTIME YOU NEED US

Emergencies do not wait for business hours and neither do we. Gippsland Veterinary Group offers an after-hours service for pets, horses and livestock, every day of the year.  Our own dedicated vets and nurses are rostered on every night, weekend and public holiday.

*Simply call your usual local GVG clinic number*  

After hours, you will be prompted to:

  • Press 1 for companion animal (pet) emergencies
  • Press 2 for livestock and equine emergencies

No need to remember extra numbers, just save your local clinic and you are covered.

24/7 EMERGENCY VETERINARY CARE

ALWAYS HERE FOR YOU AND YOUR ANIMALS - JUST CALL YOUR NEAREST GVG CLINIC

We are proud to provide an after-hours veterinary service for all pets, horses and farm animals across South Gippsland and Bass Coast, supporting both local residents and holidaymakers when they need us most.  

After hours, companion animal emergencies are triaged by our on-call veterinarian via telehealth.  This initial phone consultation is free of charge for our active patients.  For new or inactive patients, a telehealth consultation fee applies.  To ensure continued access to our complimentary service, we recommend keeping your pet's annual health checks up to date. 

If you have an emergency during opening hours, please call ahead to your nearest clinic so we can prepare for your arrival.

After-hours care

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

  • After-hours care is primarily for existing clients, a telehealth consultation fee is applicable to new/inactive companion animal clients if the initial contact is after hours
  • For equine emergencies, after-hours services may not be available in areas we service on our Zone Travel Days.  We will guide you on the best option, including transport to our Livestock and Equine Centre if appropriate
  • We do not provide 24-hour on-site monitoring in our clinics.  Pets and horses requiring continuous observation may need referral to a facility that offers overnight inpatient care
  • Always call before arriving, especially after hours
