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.

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.
