Highly trained staff, that care

Richard and the ladies were so wonderful when I had an unexpected visit for my beautiful girl, who ended up needing a c-section, after not being able to deliver her puppies. Richard was happy to talk to me on the phone and tell me what to look for, before I needed to bring her in. He gave her his time and patience to help her deliver the puppies without jumping straight to a costly surgery as others would have. Unfortunately, the c-section was the only way to deliver safely for mum and her babies, but everything went smoothly, and I have a happy healthy mum and 8 adorable babies. I was expecting a bill much larger than I got. I am so happy with the care provided at an extremely stressful time. Thank you x

I had Alyce help me with my very sick cat, I felt very comfortable knowing my cat was in her care. She had excellent customer service and was so helpful and caring! She explained everything to me and gave me the best advice possible! I will never go anywhere else and highly recommend her to anyone and everyone! No matter what animal I have in the future, she will be my go-to vet.

Shaye Kyles

In desperate need of having extra needles for my dog who is a diabetic, the staff at the Emergency Vet went out of their way to help me out and get me through the weekend, until I see my vet on Monday morning. Thank you so much for your concern and caring. I have used your service on a few occasions now and recommend it highly to anyone who needs their loved pets seen to.

Kimberly Jones

Caring, quality, affordable 24-hour vet service here in Cairns. I helped a good friend with her beloved golden retriever on early Wednesday morning. I think it was Richard who helped us out big time. We took the dog back for a secondary appointment which was no charge at all. I can highly recommend this amazing service we have here in Cairns.

Robyn Fitzgerald

We had to admit our puppy to Emergency Vets 24/7 last week overnight. We received exceptional service from Richard and his team Marion and Natalie. They were very informative and provided us with regular updates throughout the entire time our girl was admitted. We felt comfortable knowing that there was always a team on site, giving our girl the specialist care she required. We couldn’t recommend Emergency Vets 24/7 more. Thank you so much Richard and team!

Jessika Reghenzani

Thank you to the Team and Nurse Becky! The immediate treatment and care the dog (I was looking after) received was outstanding. Friendly, caring and overall amazing! Thank you! I am also amazed that when seeing a nurse or Dr late Sunday night, I was not charged an arm and a leg. To the contrary, very affordable. Highly recommend!

Nicole Zulli

What a wonderful facility. I can't speak highly enough of Dr Richard and Nurse Livvy, who helped with my golden retriever this week. Not only was he very good with Dougal he was extremely kind and re-assuring to myself and my friend Robyn, who'd helped me to get Dougal to the surgery. Thank you, Dr Richard. I wish you and your staff all the very best with this great service you have created.

Lucy Sullivan

Our little dog was poisoned by a cane toad. The team were amazing and answered all our calls about how to handle his seizures as we drove to them. They definitely saved his life and couldn't have been nicer. We are so lucky to have this service in Cairns!

Felicity Honnef

Words cannot express how amazing Dr Richard, Dr Marion, Becky and the team are. I have never come across such beautiful, caring and compassionate people. They kept me informed with Peppers condition and treatment. They informed me of all possible outcomes. Despite that, I must have asked the same questions 100 times. However, I never felt like I was any trouble to them and they always took the time to answer those same questions. They even gave up consult rooms, so I was able to spend the last few hours with my little one. I just wanted to say thank you for everything. Please keep doing what you are doing.

Lauren Dowling

We are very much appreciative of the wonderful detective work carried out by staff Alyce, to reunite us with our beloved pup that was stolen. Thank you kindly for keeping him safe and looking after our fur baby.
