The Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals announced on Tuesday the reopening of 24-hour veterinary emergency and hospital services at their Wan Chai headquarters starting June 3, following a temporary suspension since mid-2022 due to the pandemic.
Following renovations in 2021, the Wan Chai hospital is now equipped with an upgraded facility, designed to create a more comfortable and caring environment for animals.
The new treatment area and ward layout have been carefully planned to streamline the animal treatment process and provide a calm environment to reduce stress in hospitalized patients.
Notable improvements include enhanced cat and dog non-infectious wards and isolation wards, state-of-the-art ICU units with temperature-controlled oxygen chambers, and a ward specifically for exotic animals.
Comprising a team of 26 veterinary surgeons, the SPCA said their unwavering commitment to animal welfare ensures that every animal receives the utmost care and attention.
The vets also play a pivotal role in supporting the broader animal welfare programs, providing invaluable knowledge and advice, the SPCA added.
“We are extremely excited to reopen our veterinary 24-hour hospital, offering a high standard of animal care to pet owners in Hong Kong at a reasonable cost,” the SPCA’s chief veterinary surgeon Jane Gray said.
“With state-of-the-art equipment and a team of highly committed professionals, we are confident that our hospital will serve as a center of excellence for animals needing care beyond their home environment.”
The Wan Chai Center’s clinic currently operates from 8.50 am to 5.30 pm, Monday to Saturday.
