What To Do If You Need an After-Hours Vet In Geelong

If your pet is not already registered at a veterinary clinic it is important to do so before any treatment is needed. This not only gives you peace of mind when you do require assistance but also means you know where you are going and what to expect when you get there. It also saves us time not having to register all your details, which can be vital in saving time if you need to see an emergency vet quickly.

Our clinics are committed to putting animals first, and we prioritise the well-being of animals above anything else, so when the unexpected happens and you seek an emergency vet in Geelong, we have the skilled staff and top-quality equipment to ensure that your pet gets the best treatment available. You never know when your puppy might eat something he shouldn’t, or your pregnant pooch goes into an unproductive labour and requires an emergency caesarean to deliver a litter of healthy puppies, so being registered at a Geelong vets that’s open on Sundays gives you that extra assurance you’ll get help you need when you really need it.

Where Can I Find a Geelong Vet That Is Open on Sunday?

Animals, just like humans, don’t only fall ill during office hours, and that’s why at Vets Of Geelong we offer accessible and flexible veterinary clinics throughout our three branch surgeries. Our brand new, purpose-built Highton Clinic is open 7 days a week for your convenience – yes, that means the vets are open Sunday between 10 am and 4 pm, because we understand that not everyone works on the same schedule, so trying to bring your pet in to see us during regular hours is not always possible. We also work until 7.30 pm Monday to Friday to give everyone a chance to schedule an appointment at a time convenient to them. Our dedicated and passionate team are working long hours to provide you with a Geelong animal emergency vet whenever you should need one so your furry friends are always in good hands.

Frequently Asked Questions

See your regular vets during irregular hours for all your pet’s emergency needs.

Do I need to make an appointment?

We recommend giving the clinic a call on 03 5243 0077 to speak with one of our emergency nurses. They will discuss your pet’s symptoms and advise the best time to come into the clinic based on urgency. You can also book online at www.vetsofgeelong.com.au

How long will I have to wait?

Waiting time can vary. Due to the nature of emergency appointments we need to prioritise patients based on the urgency of their condition, therefore even though you may have an appointment could still be required to wait. Our emergency nurses will keep you up to date with the expected waiting time.

I don’t normally go to your clinic, can I still get an appointment?

Yes, everyone is welcome to attend our after hours clinic.

Do you run accounts?

The clinic offers a payment service called VetPay. We can apply for you in clinic or you can apply online WELCOME | VetPay Australia at home. It’s a quick process and only takes around 5 minutes to get an answer.

Do I need my pet's records?

If you are new to our clinic and your pet is on any medication it would be helpful to bring this along to your appointment. If required we can contact your regular clinic in the morning to easily obtain a full history.

Customer reviews

See what our clients have to say about their experience with us.

An amazing team of health care professionals. They have provided exceptional care to all of our pets on every occasion. Their professionalism and skills have especially been appreciated in the last few months. Thanks to them one of our cats has survived a snake bite and another one has successfully undergone a necessary and intensive surgery very successfully. This is additional to the ongoing routine care they provide to our other pets. I have the highest regard for the teams at both Geelong West and Highton. Thank you so much for the work that you do and the care that you provide.

Sharon Didone

Repeated amazing experiences at Highton Vet! They have a lovely vet who knows how to treat rabbits (so rare!) and is so loving whenever I take my little bun in. All the staff fawn over her and are just so kind. I’m so thankful to have Highton has our local vet

Breanna Frost

Chanel was taken to emergency care on a Sunday with paralysis of her rear limbs. She had been trampled by a kangaroo but this was not evident at the time. I would like to thank all the loving staff and especially Dr Kate Goodfellow. Expensive scenarios were placed on me but I chose the budget, waiting game, medications, care and follow up phone calls of concern. Thanks For your attention and friendly service. We will be eternally Grateful.

Peter Fitzgerald

Highly recommend Vets of Geelong, will be definitely changing to this practice from now on! After taking my cat Honey that had an eye issue to our regular vet 3-4 times over 3 months with no real resolution, I came here for one appointment and given such good advice, treatment & care. Honey’s eye has now cleared up and not had any flare ups for over a month and she’s loving it!

Elisabeth Dungey

Our main vet Annie has looked after our boy Badger so well along with the rest of the team. They've really brought him so much happiness in his old age. Love the ID tags as well, brilliant idea.

Chloe Drummond

Very happy with the service provided and would highly recommend the Geelong West vet to anyone who needs any form of pet care. Kind and caring staff who take pride in making you and for me my cat feel safe . The after care support is excellent as well.

Craig Smith

Have been to both Highton and Geelong West Veterinary Clinics and both have been outstanding with their friendliness, care and compassion towards both patient and clients. I was very satisfied with the care/treatment my animals received. I just received a follow up letter asking how my Dog is doing and some goodies/vouchers. How lovely

Olivia Addison

Visits to the vet can sometimes be a difficult experience, but Vets of Geelong (Geelong West and Highton) make it that little bit easier. Very friendly staff and welcoming. I really appreciate the follow up calls the next day - a nice bonus touch!

David Keele

Can not recommend more highly. The guys at reception are lovely, and the Vets & nurses really know their stuff. Our pets love them too ❤️ Prices are extremely competitive also, thanks for looking after our little ones!
