Emergency and Critical Care

The Southern Animal Emergency Centre is part of the Southern Animal Referral Centre. The Emergency Centre offers independent 24 hour emergency and critical care vet services to dogs and cats across Melbourne's southern region, as well as integrated emergency care within the Southern Animal Referral Centre.

The Centre is comprehensively equipped and staffed to handle a full range of veterinary medical and surgical emergencies. Pet owners can either be referred from their primary care veterinarian, or can contact the Centre directly should their normal veterinarian be closed.

The Southern Animal Emergency Centre works collaboratively with all departments to provide high quality support and backup for any patient at SARC.
