Need urgent veterinary help in Adelaide? Pawssum provides after-hours mobile vet care for pets that need prompt assessment at home. That can be especially useful when your regular clinic is closed, your pet is distressed by travel, or you need a vet to help decide whether hospital treatment is necessary.

Urgent situations Pawssum can help with in Adelaide

Why Adelaide pet owners call Pawssum

A practical option between routine care and hospital care

Pawssum is not a 24-hour emergency hospital. It is an after-hours mobile vet service designed for urgent home-based assessment and treatment where appropriate.

What to expect from an Adelaide emergency visit

Your vet can assess the problem, check your pet's stability, provide pain relief or supportive medications where appropriate, and explain whether home care, follow-up, or referral is the safest next step.

Urgent bookings are available

The easier way to give your pet the best care possible

Pets prefer to be at home

Your fur baby will be happier and at ease in a familiar place.

Compassionate vets

We know what your pet means to you. All our vets treat you and your pet with love and compassion.

Licensed and experienced

Telepet video call

Not sure how urgent it is? Start with Telepet

If you're unsure whether your pet needs an urgent home visit, a $69 Telepet video consultation can help you get fast advice. A qualified vet can assess the symptoms, determine the urgency, and advise whether your pet should be seen at home or taken straight to hospital.

Need compassionate urgent end-of-life support?

If your pet's condition has deteriorated suddenly and you need urgent support at home, Pawssum can also help guide you through compassionate end-of-life care. Learn more about at-home euthanasia.

When hospital care is needed in Adelaide

Some emergencies require hospital-level care rather than treatment at home. If your pet needs advanced diagnostics, surgery, oxygen therapy, intensive monitoring, or 24-hour care, Pawssum may recommend transfer to one of our trusted emergency referral hospitals in Adelaide.

Trusted emergency referral hospitals in Adelaide

  • Greencross Veterinary Centre / AVSARC
  • Nexus Emergency Vet
  • The Austin Vet Specialists

Referral destination depends on your pet's condition, location, hospital availability, and clinical needs at the time.

We help you move forward

That may mean treatment at home, close monitoring, follow-up care, or referral to a hospital for advanced care.
