Emergency Room

Our Emergency Department provides 24/7 assistance for dogs and cats experiencing emergencies or urgent needs , every day of the year.

Please notify by calling +41 (0)91 225 3765
After you arrive in the emergency room, a specific triage visit will be carried out by a Veterinary Doctor or a veterinary practice assistant to determine the priority of access based on the level of urgency.

The most serious and urgent cases access first
Due to the number of present or incoming serious patients, waiting times may increase. In agreement with the owner, a visit to the on-call Veterinary Doctor, the general veterinarian, or other veterinary centres can be organised for less serious cases.

Delays are possible in the event of large attendance; the reception staff will regularly inform patients of the progress of the service.
The waiting time is constantly monitored and evaluated to ensure prompt and high-quality service for all patients.

Intended as a transition step, after the initial triage, patients are directed to the appropriate department.

In the most serious cases, Veterinary Doctors with specific training and experience in emergency medicine will perform all the basic and advanced procedures to stabilise the patient and improve their clinical status. Sometimes, it may be necessary to hospitalise the patient to ensure continuous monitoring and advanced treatment support. If your pet requires emergency surgery, a surgical team will be available 24/7, including holidays.
