There's nothing worse than when one of our pets fall ill or succumb to an accident. Shaving minutes off a response time by simply having the nearest clinic saved in your contacts could be the difference between life and death, which is why the Hong Kong Companion Animal Academy recommend owners save the numbers of (at least) two to three 24-hour emergency veterinary clinics. We’ve rounded up a list of 24-hour clinics below, so be sure to jot down the contact details of your closest 24-hour vets, just in case.

Membership involves a one-off joining fee of $180, with a monthly payment of $39, which can be redeemed in e-coupons from their affiliated 50 pet shops across Hong Kong. Emergency hotline: 9782 2999
Enquiries: 9738 8103／2480 9234
Hours: 8pm - 6am
House calls
Due to the nature of home visiting services, house calls cannot guarantee instant emergency coverage every time. In the case of a real emergency, please try to contact your closest 24-hour emergency clinic.
