I Need Help

🐾 How to Get Help
​If you are a pet owner in need of assistance, your first step is to visit a veterinary clinic.
Any vet clinic in Canberra or the surrounding region can apply to ACT Pet Crisis Support on your behalf if you have no other means to pay for urgent or life-saving care.

If your pet’s issue is not urgent, and you are a pensioner, Healthcare Card holder, or experiencing homelessness, you may qualify for help through our Tiny Vet Clinic.
👉 [Find out more about the Tiny Vet Clinic here.]
​For non-urgent or elective procedures, you may also be eligible for an interest-free loan through local organisations such as Care, Good Shepherd, or Centrelink. More details are available on the PAWS Network page.
If your pet requires urgent veterinary attention after hours, please contact one of the following emergency services:
  • 🏥 Animal Referral Hospital (ARH) – Pialligo
  • 🏥 Valley Veterinary Emergency (VVE) – Holder
  • 🏥 Canberra Veterinary Emergency Service (CVES) – Gungahlin
  • 🏥 Walk-In Clinic for Animals (WICA) – Belconnen
These clinics can apply for financial assistance on your behalf if you qualify.

⚠️ Please don’t wait for a response from us if your pet needs urgent care.
​
Always contact your nearest veterinary clinic immediately for advice and treatment.
