About us
What is the Animal Emergency Service? The Animal
Emergency Service is a specialized veterinary
practice, which developed to provide urgent
medical attention to pets and other animals
regardless of the time of day.
Veterinarians have a responsibility to provide
out of hours treatment for their patients. For a
long time this meant exhausting working hours for
vets. It was not uncommon for an individual vet
to get called out two to three times a night for
emergencies after a long day at the surgery. This
took a huge toll on their families and lead to
widespread professional burn-out. In 1994 a group
of veterinarians from Brisbane established an
emergency hospital at Bowen Hills to give first
aid to sick pets so they did not have to be on
call 24 hours a day. Advances in veterinary
medicine over the next decade meant gradually
more and more could be done for the sickest pets.
The practice became constrained because its
owners wanted a clinic to look after basic first
aid, while the vets and nurses working there knew
that more could be done with better resources and
training.

When should you visit our pet hospital?
You know your pet better than anyone and you
should trust your instincts if you suspect your
pet isnt well. The Animal Emergency Service
recommends you seek professional help from your
general practitioner or one of our after hours
vet hospital locations across South-East
Queensland. Some common signs of illness
include vomiting, diarrhoea, no appetite,
lethargy, or sleepiness. Urgent problems are not
limited to but can include breathing difficulty,
a swollen tummy, choking, unconsciousness,
seizures or discomfort. If in doubt, its always
best to have your pet assessed even if only for
reassurance that they are OK. Feel free to call
your local Animal Emergency Service after hours
vet clinic at any time to speak to one of our
friendly staff.

We are awake when your local vet clinics are
asleep
Many pets suffer injuries and illness at times
when local vet clinics are closed. At Animal
Emergency Service, we are dedicated to filling
those gaps when regular veterinary care is
unavailable. We are the trusted after hours vet
professionals throughout South-East Queensland.
If your pet ever needs emergency vet care, they
can find it with us in one of our after hours
locations. Our veterinary clinics stay open all
night to provide the highest standard of care for
animals when they need it. At the same time, our
staff provide reassurance and general advice to
pet and animal lovers seeking help. We stay awake
all night so our professional colleagues can
develop a balance between their demanding work
commitments and their personal life. We do this
because we are a team of professionals dedicated
to accomplishing our goals and advancing the
discipline of Veterinary Emergency and Critical
Care.
