Pet accidents and illness can happen at any hour, and knowing you have a reliable emergency vet in Brussels is reassuring. If your pet is injured or becomes seriously ill and your usual veterinary practice is closed, VET&GO is here for any vet emergency — day or night. Whether it’s the middle of the night, a weekend or a public holiday, our on-call team gives your pet the best treatment possible. Try to stay calm: a quick phone call is the fastest way to get expert help.

Emergency vet near you: our on-call service in Brussels

Our vet emergency service is open when your usual vet is closed — at night, on weekends and on public holidays. VET&GO operates three emergency centres in and around Brussels — Uccle, Woluwe-Saint-Pierre and Strombeek-Bever (Brussels North) — and an animal ambulance can collect your pet across Brussels if the vet considers it necessary.

When you call, our qualified on-call vet will:

Call us on 078 79 00 58
Describe your pet’s symptoms (have any medications and vaccinations to hand)
Come in — we’ll tell you whether to bring your pet in or care for them at home until your usual vet reopens
Treatment — consultation, X-rays and blood tests, surgery if needed, then a written report and transfer back to your usual vet

Common vet emergencies we treat

The VET&GO team regularly treats: wounds and bleeding from accidents; ingestion of toxic substances (poisoning); injuries from fighting; bites and stings; seizures; vomiting and diarrhoea; and allergic reactions. If you suspect poisoning, remove your pet from the source, collect a sample if you can, do not induce vomiting unless advised, and call us immediately — common poisons include chocolate, grapes, xylitol, rat poison, human medication and some plants.
