Animal Emergency Centre

Having to use Animal Emergency is never a fun experience, but it’s great to know they are around if needed.
Animal emergency operate out of normal vet hours, so usually 6pm-​9am.
If you do need to come here, make sure you bring your credit card, and be prepared to pay. Usually they take a $ 500 part payment before they will even do an initial consultation.
On the 2 occasions I went here it was to take two sick kittens. Both needed to be put down, but only after they had tried to rehydrate them, both occasions ended up costing $ 1000 plus.
However, my parents have used AE when their cat ripped out her stitches after desexing and pulled out all her intestines. Their bill was in excess of $ 1500, but the cat survived and is going strong.
The fact is in the position, most people will opt for this type of service rather than watch their animals suffer.
