Why pet owners choose an emergency vet at home

Less stress when every minute matters

Sick or injured pets are often calmer at home than in a car or waiting room.

Fast after-hours support

Pawssum operates from 6:00am to 11:00pm, 7 days a week, including public holidays.

Honest advice about hospital care

If your pet needs oxygen, surgery, imaging, overnight monitoring, or ICU-level support, our vets will recommend hospital care rather than delay it.

Helpful for pets that are hard to move

Mobile urgent care can be especially useful for elderly pets, anxious pets, cats that travel poorly, and families managing multi-pet households.
