Your Northern Beaches and North Shore
Emergency Vets
Emergency & Critical Care is all we do, so we are excellent at it!
At Northside Emergency Veterinary Service (NEVS), emergency and critical care is our sole focus. Because it’s all we do, it’s what we do exceptionally well.
We understand the powerful bond between people and their pets.
To us, there is no such thing as “just a dog,” “just a cat,” or “just a rabbit.” Pets are constant companions, offering loyalty, comfort, and unconditional love. They are part of your family.
When your pet is suddenly unwell or injured, you want immediate access to an after-hours emergency vet you can trust. You need a veterinary hospital equipped to handle urgent, life-threatening situations without delay.
NEVS is a dedicated emergency and critical care veterinary hospital, providing advanced treatment, intensive care, and around-the-clock support when your regular vet is closed. In moments of crisis, our experienced emergency veterinarians and nursing team are here to help your pet when they need it most.
Northside Emergency Veterinary Service (NEVS) is that emergency vet.

Here are some kind words from pet owners who have trusted Northside Emergency Veterinary Service to care for their sick and injured pets, day and night, throughout the year:
NEVS staff have taken care of our dog, Franklin, twice. Once after a surgery just to monitor his healing for a few days and once for almost a week with a severe coronavirus. Everyone was so kind, and the staff is incredibly communicative! While he was there for almost a week, we could communicate with their staff twice a day with updates to see how he was doing. We were even able to visit him, which was wonderful. Highly recommend the excellent staff and care at NEVS!
Amazing Veterinary team, everyone here is working hard and highly skilled in communication. They are doing such a great job and do care for the animals. We wanted to say thank you to NEVS team for taking such a good care of our little Cavoodle Ella, by the end Ella seems to enjoy all you guy’s company and not be nervous to stay or come back for treatment.
Ohhhh they were so caring!! The place is full of good vibes and so welcoming. Together with our regular vet, St Ives vet, they saved my boy who got tick paralysis…… everybody did their best with the utmost care and attention and saved my boy, Bobo!!!…… .We picked up Bobo this morning, New Year’s Day, the place was so vibrant, full of warmth with everybody working so happily for several dogs and their owners at reception. They are all in good hands of a great team!!! Thank you so much!!!!!!!
We had to let our sweet dog Bai Bai cross the rainbow bridge last night. Dr. Georgia was so empathetic, caring and kind. She made myself and my parents feel supported and made Bai Bai feel safe in his last moments. Please pass our thanks on to her and let her know she is an amazing vet.
The most incredible team of professionals we’ve ever encountered! Our cat Winston got sick unexpectedly, from the moment we walked in the doors at 3:30am with a very sick cat, to the following 48 hours of unknown and tests – they were incredible. Constant calls to keep us updated and providing us with thorough information and options at every step. We will forever be grateful for this wonderful team and how they cared so well for our cat Winston, thank you!
