Not sure if your pet's symptoms need a vet urgently? Some signs worth watching for:
⚠️ Difficulty breathing
⚠️ Repeated vomiting
⚠️ Eaten something toxic or a foreign object
⚠️ Vocalising in distress or pain
⚠️ Refusing food or water for more than a day
⚠️ Any traumatic injury like a bite, fight wound, or similar
⚠️ Sudden lethargy or a big change in their normal behaviour

If you're ever unsure, a vet can help you figure out what needs an urgent in-clinic visit and what can be carefully monitored by you.

If cost is ever a barrier to getting your pet seen, PetSafetyNet may be able to help, starting with a free video call with a vet to help assess your pet.

If it’s happening to you and your pet needs urgent vet care, you don’t have to sort it out alone. PetSafetyNet may be able to help: free 24/7 vet telehealth, and subsidised in-clinic treatment in many cases. Available in NSW and Tasmania.

To the vet nurses and techs at our partner clinics: thank you.
When a pet needs urgent care and cost is a worry, a vet nurse is often one of the first people you’ll talk to. They’re part of the teams that make care through PetSafetyNet possible.

PetSafetyNet starts with free 24/7 telehealth and, in many cases, subsidised treatment at participating clinics in NSW and Tasmania. Over 3,000 pets and their people have received support so far.

If you hold a Health Care Card or Pensioner Concession Card and receive a Centrelink or DVA payment, you may be eligible. Takes 2 minutes to check: https://petsafetynet.com.au/
