Urgent Animal Health Services for Pets
In the Rhein-Kreis, small animal owners now have access to emergency services over the weekend, providing much-needed assistance outside of regular business hours. This service is a response to the discontinuation of 24-hour on-call services in many small animal clinics due to a shortage of veterinarians.
The emergency service in the Rhein-Kreis operates from Saturday 12pm to 8pm and Sunday 10am to 8pm. However, the exact hours of operation may vary for other districts such as Krefeld, Heinsberg, and Viersen, which also offer weekend emergency services.
To make an appointment with the responsible practice for the emergency service, pet owners can contact the hotline number 01 51/64 66 83 52. It's important to note that the fees for this service are an additional €50, in addition to usual veterinary fees, as per the new fee schedule for veterinarians effective from the beginning of the year.
While these fees are common in many veterinary emergency services in Germany, they can vary by clinic and region. For precise costs and exact weekend service schedules in Krefeld, Heinsberg, and Viersen, it is necessary to contact local veterinary clinics or official veterinary associations directly.
The establishment of these weekend emergency services is a significant step in ensuring the health and well-being of small animals in the Rhein-Kreis and the surrounding districts. As the shortage of veterinarians continues to be a challenge, it's crucial that pet owners have access to emergency services when they need them most.
