What is in-patient care for pets?

Pet in-patient care, also known as hospitalisation or an overnight stay, provides close monitoring and treatment for pets who need to stay at the practice. This level of care is recommended when pets require continuous veterinary attention to support their health and recovery.

When might my pet need to stay at the practice?

In‑patient care may include support for illness, careful monitoring following surgery, or ongoing treatment for more serious or complex medical conditions — all delivered in a calm, safe, and supportive environment.

In some cases, day‑patient options may also be available, allowing your pet to receive treatment during the day and return home later, depending on their medical needs and progress.

What happens during in-patient care?

While staying with us, your pet will receive dedicated, compassionate care from our veterinary team, including vets and registered veterinary nurses. This can include medication, fluid therapy, pain management, and regular monitoring. This close supervision allows us to track your pet’s progress, make timely adjustments to their treatment, and support a smooth, calm and comfortable recovery.

Will I be updated while my pet is staying at the practice?

Yes — we understand how important it is for you to feel informed and reassured while your pet is with us. You will be kept fully updated on your pet’s condition and progress throughout their stay.

Our team is always happy to answer questions and provide updates, so you can feel confident and supported while your pet is in our care.
