Veterinary Emergency Care Australia
Most of your pet's life happens away from emergencies: the yearly check-up, the puppy vaccinations, the lump you want looked at, the ongoing condition that needs managing. That everyday care is what a general practice (GP) vet is for, and it is the foundation of keeping your pet healthy over the long term.
​
At VECA Campbelltown, our general practice team looks after routine and preventive care for dogs, cats and other pets across Campbelltown and the wider Macarthur region. What makes it different from a standalone clinic is what sits behind it: GP care delivered inside the only 24/7 hospital in the region, with diagnostics, surgery and specialist services on-site. General practice is available at our Campbelltown hospital by appointment.
Every day, Ongoing Care for Your Pet
General practice is your pet's everyday, ongoing veterinary care. It covers the routine and preventive things that keep pets well: health checks, vaccinations, parasite prevention, dental care and the day-to-day problems that come up over a pet's life.
​
We look after dogs, cats and other companion animals for owners across Campbelltown and the Macarthur region, and into the wider South West Sydney area. The difference here is that your routine care comes from a team working inside a full hospital, so if something more serious turns up, the next step is in the same building.

GP Care Backed by a 24/7 Hospital
This is what sets VECA apart from routine care. VECA Campbelltown is the only 24/7 vet hospital in the Macarthur region, so your GP vet is part of a team that is also there overnight, on weekends and on public holidays.
​
In practice, that means your pet's everyday care sits alongside on-site digital x-ray, ultrasound and a full in-house laboratory, plus surgery and specialist services under the same roof. If a routine visit uncovers something serious, it can be acted on quickly, without a referral across town.
​
And if a problem happens after hours, you are not left waiting for your GP clinic to open. VECA's emergency service is walk-in, 24 hours a day, at both our Campbelltown and Norwest hospitals.
