Emergency Veterinary Care
Our 24/7 emergency veterinary services address urgent pet health crises, including trauma, poisoning, and severe illnesses. With dedicated triage protocols, we prioritise critical cases to ensure timely interventions. Our team utilises advanced monitoring equipment and mechanical ventilators for intensive care, providing life-saving treatments such as blood transfusions from our on-site blood bank.
Pet Blood Donation Program
The pet blood donation program ensures a reliable supply of blood for transfusions, crucial for treating emergencies like severe blood loss or poisoning. Healthy dogs over 25kg can donate blood after a health check, with the process taking 5-10 minutes. Donors receive annual blood analysis, food, and treats as appreciation for their life-saving contributions.
Diagnostic Imaging
On-site digital X-ray and ultrasound equipment enable rapid diagnosis of internal injuries, fractures, and organ conditions. This technology supports immediate treatment decisions, reducing wait times for critical patients. Our facilities are equipped to handle complex cases requiring precise imaging for surgical or medical interventions.
Surgical Treatments
Our fully equipped surgical theatre handles urgent procedures, including trauma repair and foreign body removal. Advanced anaesthetic and monitoring systems ensure patient safety during operations. Post-operative care includes pain management and recovery support, with seamless handover to regular veterinarians for ongoing care.
In-House Laboratory
Rapid in-house blood and urine testing facilitates immediate diagnosis of infections, organ function, and blood disorders. This capability accelerates treatment plans for critical cases, reducing reliance on external labs. Results are interpreted by our specialists to guide emergency interventions and monitor patient recovery.

What an amazing team and exceptional service provided. I cannot thank the entire team, and Sarah in particular, for the care and kindness extended towards my dog Charlie during his time of need. The service was efficient, and a report was promptly provided to Charlie's regular vet. They even sent a follow up text to ensure his well being since the visit. I am glad to know I can rely on Perth Vet Emergency to look after us during desperate times!

The vets and staff who attended my elderly dog who needed out of hours help last weekend were wonderful. She had an overnight stay and after treating her pain and issues, she is well on her way to recover fully. I couldn't fault the care they showed. Thank you

Thank you to all the wonderful staff at Perth Vet Emergency, who looked after my golden retriever puppy with such care this weekend. There is nothing more alarming than a retriever that won't eat, and they cared for him with kindness and excellent communication. He has made a great recovery after his overnight visit. Thank you so much!

My Frenchie suffered from a severe heat stroke (42.7 C body temperature). Luckily we got there just on time and the team did an amazing job to keep my dog alive! They knew exactly what to do, and within about 30h my dog was back home. During the time they had my pet, the vets kept in contact with me, and were extremely detailed in explaining how they were monitoring my dog. The team was also very empathetic and kind. The service was very costly, thats the only downside. A big thank you to all of you for saving my dogs life!

Came here with my cat who was limping with a swollen foot - i was taken in and she was looked at as soon as my paperwork was done. Trixi was promptly treated and has been a happy girl at home since.
Vet visits are high anxiety for me. My cat is quite old with heart problems and doesnt love being touched by strangers. The vets at Perth Emergency Vet made me feel so comfortable, they handled my baby with care and love and the knowledge they had about my cats ailment put my mind at ease. The service here was absolutely 10/10 and the vets are so lovely. Also didn't break the bank going here and the

Very pleased with the prompt and caring service received when my dog was being treated for an anaphylactic reaction. Staff were professional and kept me updated on how Rosie was doing and the process regularly. They also recommended that Rosie be taken to our local vet for further care during the day to ensure she recovered fully. Definitely worth travelling the extra distance to the get the best quality service Rosie required. Thank you all
