Why a mobile veterinary emergency practice is better | VetCar 24 Hamburg veterinary emergency service today

Dear future customers and valued patients,



In recent years, the number of veterinarians offering emergency services has declined sharply. Many veterinary emergency services are under enormous pressure, and numerous clinics are suffering from severe staff shortages. A 2017 survey from Hesse found that 60% of veterinary practices were already not participating in emergency services at that time – a situation that has worsened since then.


From my many years of experience in emergency services, I know that both animals and their owners are often exposed to great stress in emergency situations. Long wait times in overcrowded clinics exacerbate this stress. A mobile veterinary emergency practice often offers a less stressful and faster alternative. Sick or injured animals don't have to endure the added stress of a car ride, but can be treated in their familiar surroundings. Anxious dogs and cats in particular benefit from this because they feel safer at home, and treatment is often more straightforward.


Another advantage is the time savings. In hospitals, pet owners often have to wait several hours, whereas a mobile emergency service can arrive quickly and provide immediate first aid. Furthermore, many animals are only treated symptomatically in the hospital, with painkillers or sedatives, without immediate comprehensive therapy. This exact same care can also be provided at home, without the added stress of a long wait in the hospital.


A mobile emergency service not only helps animals and their owners, but also relieves pressure on veterinary clinics. Since many cases can be treated on-site, clinical teams have more time to focus on serious and life-threatening emergencies. Severe fractures, gastric torsion, or FLUTD (urethral obstruction in cats) are acute emergencies that require immediate clinical care. In such cases, a veterinary clinic should be consulted immediately.


Last but not least, the mobile animal emergency service offers the opportunity to give animals a dignified farewell in their familiar surroundings. If euthanasia is unavoidable, it can be performed at home in peace and without additional stress—a gentler and more loving alternative to a hospital visit.


My goal is to help your pet quickly, professionally, and stress-free – right in your home.
