Preparing for your first visit or an overnight emergency
What should I bring to my pet’s first visit?
Bring previous medical records, imaging, laboratory results, vaccination records and medication details. Make a note of when symptoms began, any changes in eating or toileting, and medicines currently being given.
Can I go directly to a hospital for an overnight emergency?
For emergencies such as breathing difficulty, persistent seizures or serious injuries, contact a 24-hour hospital as soon as possible. Describing your pet’s condition by phone before departure helps the hospital prepare to receive the patient.
Contact a 24-hour hospitalWhich hospitals provide spay/neuter surgery, deworming and vaccination?
Xisanqi, Jinxiu, Jingrui, Chunchun and Zhizhen hospitals all provide spay/neuter surgery, deworming and vaccination for dogs and cats. Contact the relevant hospital to confirm appointment and reception arrangements.
View hospital informationDo all five hospitals offer inpatient care? Are staff on site overnight?
All five hospitals provide general inpatient care. Whether staff remain on site overnight depends on the level of nursing care; confirm the care and staffing arrangements at admission. Inpatient nursing arrangements are separate from outpatient opening hours, and inpatient care does not mean the hospital receives patients 24 hours a day.
View hospital informationWhere can my pet have CT, MRI or ultrasound?
All five hospitals have CT and color Doppler ultrasound equipment. Jinxiu Hospital and Zhizhen Hospital in Shenzhen also have MRI. Check each hospital’s page for imaging services and appointment requirements, and call the relevant hospital to confirm arrangements.
View hospital informationDo you have English-speaking veterinarians or staff?
Please contact the hospital before your visit to confirm whether staff can support your preferred language at the planned appointment time.
What should I prepare before an ultrasound, CT or MRI scan?
Contact the hospital before the examination. The veterinary team will give preparation instructions based on the planned test and your pet’s condition, including whether food or water needs to be withheld. Bring previous medical records, imaging results, vaccination records and details of current medications.
Before your visit
Website information does not replace a consultation
Information about conditions, examinations, surgery and treatment helps you decide whom to consult and what to prepare. A veterinarian must assess your pet’s current condition and examination results before making clinical decisions.
