What to Do When You Need a Vet Open Now in Adelaide

It's late, your pet is unwell, and you're wondering: “Is there a vet open now near me?” If you're in Adelaide and facing a pet emergency or urgent situation after hours, don’t panic — there are options available, and you're not alone.

1. Stay Calm and Assess the Situation

Before rushing out, take a breath and observe your pet:

  • Are they breathing normally?

  • Are they responsive?

Quickly assessing their condition helps determine whether it’s urgent, life-threatening, or something that can wait until morning.


2. Look for an After-Hours Vet Open Now

Many veterinary clinics close by 6 PM, but Adelaide Veterinary Walk In Clinic (AVWIC) is open late every night for urgent care — no appointment needed.

Our Hours:

  • Weeknights: 7 PM – 12 AM

  • Weekends: 1 PM – 9 PM

  • Location: Inside Paws at Prospect, 52 Main N Rd Prospect. Opposite the Scotty Motel.

We’re here to help when your regular vet is closed, providing experienced care for non-life-threatening but urgent pet problems.


3. Common Issues We See After Hours

At AVWIC, we frequently treat:

  • Vomiting or diarrhea

  • Itchy skin, rashes, or ear infections

  • Eye irritation or squinting

  • Minor injuries or limping

  • UTI symptoms or trouble urinating

  • Anxiety, shaking, or sudden behavioral changes

  • Ingestion of foreign or toxic substances

  • Allergic reactions or stings

  • Wounds and bandaging

  • Anal gland irritation

  • Minor surgery and procedures

  • Urgent health checks

  • End of life care

We refer serious emergencies (like complex trauma or collapsed pets) to 24/7 hospitals — but for many urgent issues, we’re your trusted local option.


4. Call or Visit Immediately

If you’re unsure, call us or just walk in during our open hours. Our team can guide you on whether your pet needs to be seen now or can wait until your regular vet opens.

Tip: Save our clinic’s number and location in your phone now so you’re prepared in the future.


5. Why Choose AVWIC?

  • Walk-in convenience — no appointment required

  • Lower-stress environment compared to emergency hospitals

  • Local Adelaide team with experience in urgent veterinary care

  • Affordable after-hours care without 24/7 emergency pricing


Don’t Wait – If You Need a Vet Open Now in Adelaide, We’re Ready to Help

When your pet is sick or injured and your regular vet is closed, AVWIC is here with compassionate, timely care. Walk in during our open hours, or give us a call to check if we can help tonight.
