Hammersmith animal hospital
Location Details
Our Hammersmith animal hospital opened its doors to sick and injured pets in 1922.
We provide lifesaving veterinary treatment to thousands of pets every year and support pet owners across London who can’t afford private practice prices.
Booking an appointment
If your pet is sick or injured, give us a call to book an appointment. Your pet will need to be registered before booking an appointment. You’ll also need to pay a consultation fee when you book.
Out of hours
If you are not registered at a Blue Cross animal hospital, please call your usual vet practice before contacting us.
If your pet needs to be seen urgently, please call 0300 777 1890 and hold until the message has finished to speak to one of the team. A consultation fee will apply if your pet needs to come to a hospital.
