After-Hours & Emergency Care
At The Vets Sale & Loch Sport, the health and safety of your pets is our priority — including when emergencies happen outside normal business hours.
Weekend & Public Holidays Emergencies
We have established a referral arrangement with Gippsland Pet Emergency to ensure our clients have access to specialised emergency and critical care when we are unavailable.
When we are closed, our phone line will be automatically diverted to Gippsland Pet Emergency, a dedicated emergency and critical care service for the Gippsland region.
Following your visit, Gippsland Pet Emergency will forward your pet’s medical records and treatment summary to our clinic so we can review the case and arrange any necessary follow-up care when we reopen.
Gippsland Pet Emergency is a specialised emergency and critical care service staffed by an experienced team of veterinarians and veterinary nurses. They provide:
- Urgent assessments
- Advanced diagnostics
- Emergency medical treatment
- Emergency surgery
- Critical care monitoring
They operate:
- From Friday 6:00 pm through to Monday 8:00 am
- 24 hours a day on public holidays
