COVID 19
We would ask that any client that needs to attend The Pet Emergency Hospital please calls in advance to ensure we are prepared for your arrival.
We would ask that anybody suffering with symptoms of Covid 19 does not attend The Pet Emergency Hospital. We will allow somebody from another household (who has not been a close contact or showing symptoms) to attend with your animal on your behalf.
We ask that all clients please wear a face mask while being attended to by our staff.
We are currently not allowing clients into the building of UCD.
In extreme cases we may allow clients enter the building but there are very few exceptions. Please ensure to wear a mask and in these cases we ask that clients wash their hands on arrival and make use of the hand sanitiser available. We will also have gloves provided for clients use.
Please keep a distance of 2 meters from other clients if you are outside of your car and we ask that only 1 person attends with each animal.
Please see HSE guidelines: https://www2.hse.ie/conditions/coronavirus/coronavirus.html
On behalf of all the staff at the PEH we thank you for your cooperation in this time.
Stay Safe.

At The Pet Emergency Hospital We aim to keep waiting times to a minimum. However please be aware that in times when we are dealing with a lot of emergency cases the waiting time may be increased (1-2 hours). We have to see cases in the The Pet Emergency Hospital in order of emergency status. Your pet will be triaged on arrival and will be seen as soon as possible. Please be aware that if your pet is not a critical case other cases may be seen before your pet. We do endeavour to see your pet as soon as possible and our staff will aim to keep you updated on waiting times on arrival
