In an ideal world pets would get sick in the business hours of their usual vet. Actually, ideally they'd never get sick at all. But Murphy is a bugger and you can bet your bottom dollar they're going to get sick on a Saturday afternoon when it's a visit to the after hours vet. Thankfully, Pet Emergency operates out of Queensland Vets at Stafford Heights and before midnight charge a lower fee for after hour consults. The pooch and I were seen to relatively promptly for what was a busy weekend of consults and injured animal drop offs for the clinic. The vet that saw to us was warm and friendly. There was no hard sell for product -- just honest advice and diagnosis. These guys are firmly in the pet black book. You hope you never need to call upon them but you're thankful they're there if needed. read more

Pet Emergency - Front of vet clinic - Veterinarians Near Me - Stafford Heights, QLD

Very pricey place for a bunch of vets who stand around doing testing all day. The point of taking tests is to find the problem and rule out what could be. Unfortunately the vets here are not about the doing all they can for your pet but rather what they can do as a business. They will go the latter because it's, and I quote, "worthless" as our dog's doctor, Phillip Thomas, so nonchalantly expressed in a conclusion meeting about our beloved dog, Bentley, who passed away. We still do not know what the cause of her death was and we have no answers. However, we did manage to be invoiced a nice hefty bill. Their staff are not properly trained and don't have very good phone manner especially when communication is their way of conveying the updates of your pets conditions. Not to mention the staff there know absolutely nothing and never have an answer and aren't to enthusiastic in finding out. A loss is a loss, pets are no less worthy than a human life and animals become a part of peoples lives and journeys. This clinic is insufficient in their work, their research and their communication. If you do take your pet here - don't believe everything they tell you and get a second opinion. read more

I took Willow here one night after finding a huge hole in her chest. It was just a burst abcess and it wasn't a big deal. If you have an animal friend, you know that even the smallest thing can seem like a huge deal. We had a little bit of a wait before being seen. It meant we went from being before 12am, to after, which upped the price a fair bit (just something to consider if you're on a tight budget). The vet we saw was patient and helpful. While it is pricey, they are open 24/7 and the prices reflect that. I'm just glad that they were there for me when I had an emergency so late at night. read more
