For emergencies that fall outside of normal clinic hours, we provide our Armidale clients with access to Vetriage, our emergency service . This system ensures you and your critically ill animal get the right advice quickly. Without the stress of searching for a vet emergency service. If you have a concern about your pet outside of our normal clinic hours, simply call our usual clinic number 0267721686 to be connected with the Vetriage teams.
Your call will be answered by a qualified and experienced veterinary nurse who will assess your pets situation. The triage nurse can provide expert advice for non-urgent issues or, in the case of a true emergency, will determine the necessary action and contact our on-call vets. This ensures your pet gets the right level of care when they need it most, and our emergency veterinarians will be fully briefed on the situation before you arrive.
