CAIRNS EMERGENCY VETS 24/7 Our Focus Is Emergency & Critical Care

Cairns Emergency Vets 24/7 are passionate about animals, delivering emergency and critical care services with professionalism and compassion. Our hospital was established in 2017 to provide Cairns’ pet owners with access to quality, emergency medical support, 24/7. The added benefit is that your daytime vet gets to sleep at night!

We are located at 124 Anderson Street in Cairns and are proud to provide afterhours and emergency support to you, your pets, and over 95% of the daytime clinics in the greater Cairns region.

We love to work in collaboration with Cairns’ amazing GP vets. Our emergency vet services allow them to get some well earned rest, while we continue vital patient care.

Emergency Vets 24/7 is available for walk-ins and referrals. Contact us on (07) 4015 3459.

If your pet arrives home and you have follow up concerns, we’ll happily provide

a second consultation for the same condition within 24 hours, absolutely FREE.

PROFESSIONAL CARE WHEN YOU NEED IT

Cairns Emergency Vets 24/7 is open for small animal and exotic pet emergencies. We aren’t on call because we’re here already! Our hospital is open and staffed by trained vets and nurses, every hour of every day. In fact, we’re the only 24/7 animal hospital in FNQ and we’re proud to provide consultations and hospital care for animals and their owners from Cairns residents and well beyond.

Our team is onsite 24/7 and we are ready to help you navigate health issues with your pet. We provide timely and convenient care for any small animal or exotic pet who needs veterinary attention.

You’ll still need your usual vet for planned procedures, vaccinations and preventatives such as tick prevention, heartworm treatment and other routine appointments. Please visit your primary care vet for those aspects of your pet’s health.

We work in collaboration with general practice clinics across Cairns to provide afterhours service and support for overflow appointments during peak periods. If you can’t get in to see your usual vet, or your pet needs to be seen straight away, we’re always here.

We care about your pets

FINANCE OPTIONS

At Emergency Vets 24/7, we’re advocates for pet insurance. Why? It can be a relief to have a safety net when you’re faced with the unexpected.

When insurance isn’t an option, we partner with three credit providers: Afterpay, Zip Pay and VetPay, for your convenience. You can apply in minutes via your smartphone or home computer, with approval usually finalised while you wait. Our front of house staff can walk you through this process.

Please note that interest may apply for finance. Make sure you check the terms and conditions and FAQs so you can make an informed decision.

Finance options are available

Our pup got sick on a Sunday and these guys were amazing. You can call them any time just to check whether you should come in/ what you should do, and they were fantastic when we did. Highly professional, knowledgeable and gave excellent treatment. We highly recommend this place for after-hours!

Emily Purcell

We're very lucky to have a 24 vet service in Cairns. Our cat had to make an emergency visit and her life was saved. All costs were explained up front and there was no pressure. Just professional emergency support. Thanks to the awesome team - Amber owes you her life!

Adam Guerin

Thank God for a 24-hour vet in Cairns. I have used this business about 4 times. Service and staff are fantastic. Had to take my 18-year-old Toy Poodle there on Sunday night. They are so very caring. Thankfully she is good now.

Jennifer Rodman

I had to take my cat Socks into the Emergency Vet in the middle of the night, when he started frothing at the mouth. The vet performed blood tests and determined Socks was not seriously ill. It is great to have this emergency vet service in Cairns.

Richard Johnston

Best vet experience in Cairns! Thank you all, and mostly to Nat(s), Chelsea, Kat, Livy, Olivia, Nikea, Becky, Sandra, Francis, Alice, Peta, Tash, Kati and the tall vet with back pain who talks fast (Richard?). Keep up the good work!!! You are amazing guys!

Mihai Csatai

We had to take our dog in for some after-hours treatment and couldn't be happier. We went straight in and had a full look over and bloods done. Had the results and treatment sorted within an hour. They even followed up a couple of days later to see how he was going. Great work team... Neo was very appreciative.

Ben O'Donoghue

Highly recommend Dr Richard and his staff! Looked after my kitten Avril and went above and beyond for her. Very good at what they do and listen to you, can’t go wrong! Extremely well priced as well!

Aleson Flaws

Fantastic staff especially Becky, just really made us feel comfortable although we were stressed about our boy. Great setup and animal friendly. Vet Katie was also exceptional and full of information, love you guys glad you have opened and best wishes. Sure you will succeed. Thanks again.

Morrison

We are very lucky to have such a fantastic vet practice in Cairns. I highly recommend this practice. Richard and his team cared for our dog Shiraz during a very difficult time. All the staff provided the best care, were results driven, attentive and empathetic. Thank you to the whole team for such a wonderful experience.

Amanda O

Thanks again so much for all the help you have given me over the last few months! As a fellow veterinarian I value your service so much, both for referral after hours and for my own babies when I need 24hr care and need sleep!

Allan Little

Called for some advice on heat stroke / dehydration for my dog and had the pleasure of speaking with Melissa who was extremely helpful and caring, great advice given, can't recommend this vet enough.

Lizii Cassidy

A massive thank you from the bottom of our hearts for providing prompt care, love and support for not only our big gorgeous fur baby Jaxon, but for his family also. We can't thank you enough for your time and effort.

Julie Parker

We had brought in our English Springer spaniel last night to the 24 hr emergency. I can't recommend them enough. From the moment we arrived the staff were very caring and talked to us step by step on what treatment they were planning to do. Marion our vet was great thankyou everyone for taking good care of our Barney Boo.

Jodie Fern

Thank you so much for the care you gave Zeb over the weekend and for being so understanding of our position offering a solution - the tick has not won - Zebby Boy is recovering beautifully and even cuddling his fur siblings again oh and purring away. Thank you.

Karen Wells

I could not be more thankful and appreciative to the team at Emergency Vets! The Vets & Vet Nurses worked day and night on our Bundy boy who was baited with rat bait. We are so grateful for the hard work and dedication that was put into saving his life and allowing him to see another day. There aren’t enough words to say how thankful we are.

Tamika Jade Smith

Took our boxer pup Loki in for a late night visit. He decided to eat a bee or something and ended with a nice fat lip and hives all over. Having been through this before, I knew we were off to the vet. So I loaded him up and took him into see the team at Emergency Vets. I got a wonderful greeting when I arrived by nurse Livvy. She checked us in efficiently and gave Loki the once over before sending in Jo the vet. She ran through the treatment with me before taking him for an antihistamine shot. From start to finish everyone was smiling and wonderful to deal with. Loki even had great fun playing with all the nurses out the back, he was a happy boy when we left. Definitely recommend.

Paul Gov Sleep

We had an emergency last night, after calling numerous vets and not getting much help, we found emergency 24/7 when we rang, we spoke to Richard who spoke to us in a calming understanding manner and gave us so much advice on what to do with our dog, and we find out they aren't even open for business yet......so thank you Richard and emergency 24/7 patient doing much better, good luck and again thank you.

Sue Carr

Dr Richard is an amazing vet!!! Our poor boy broke his leg late on Friday night, Dr Richard was the only vet we spoke to who was willing to help on a weekend!! Service and care for our little Ozzie cat was amazing!!! Even after his surgery on Saturday Dr Richard put up with and answered my probably annoying texts and put my mind at ease!! I can not recommend 24hr Vets enough!! And our little Ozzie is on the mend thanks you Richard!!

Michelle Stevenson

Just want to say a huge Thank you to staff last night who made my sister’s cat end of life journey such a lovely one. This business was not all about the money it was 100% about the care of the animal. We were not rushed in and out of a room. We did not have to make quick decision. Each step was explained with love and my sister was given the time to process each move. It really was a beautiful end of life journey for a very well-loved 19-year-old cat. Thanks again for not making her rush the decision. For doing the fastest blood tests to determine it was time and for all your compassion. They even helped to arrange the pick up for cremation. Great service.

Dee Champion

Brought my very much-loved baby/dog into the clinic tonight, as I was worried he had eaten rat bait or possibly had Lepto. The team was super lovely and caring, they were very knowledgeable and prices were great! Very happy! Even though my pup isn’t out of the woods, yet I wouldn’t hesitate to take him back there as they seem to know exactly what they are doing and you can tell they have love animals thanks guys!
