Doggy Day Care
We’re Here for Your Pets
At Rosebery Vet Hospital, we are here to care for your pets when you can’t be there for them. Our doggy day care service provides the perfect solution for busy pet owners who can’t be at home with their furry friends all day.
We understand for some dogs, being at home alone just isn’t an option. They need constant companionship and the stimulation it provides. Some dogs, when left to their own devices develop behavioural problems due to boredom. This can include digging up gardens, chewing furniture, persistent barking and generally getting up to mischief. These dogs prefer company and play time with others which is what our doggy day care service offers. We provide a safe, fun place where your furry friends will enjoy good company and a healthy range of activities.

Doggy Day Care Facilities
At Rosebery, we provide a wonderful, modern space for dogs to socialise and be kept active and entertained. Your pet will have a great time with our caring staff and their furry buddies. You can also arrange a pamper session on the day of your dog’s visit so that he or she will come home looking polished and dapper after a great day of play.
We provide a free initial behavioural assessment to ensure your pet is suitable to participate in our doggy daycare program. Our facilities include a large, enclosed indoor play area that is set up to simulate an ‘at home’ environment. We will keep your pooch physically and mentally stimulated with lots of play and fun activities, supervised walks and social enrichment. Activities may include treasure hunts, puzzles, scent work, group play, ball fun, bubble play, pool parties in summer and more. There will be free outdoor leashed walks included and nap times for those that need it. As part of our veterinary hospital we have an array of other services to support you and your fur baby such as pet grooming, puppy training and general vet consultations.
A Loving Home Away From Home
Our experienced staff love kissing, cuddling and showering your pets with love and attention while they are in our care. We aim to provide an environment that is a home away from home for your furry friends, where they feel safe and loved.
For an extra treat, you can book a grooming session for your dog while they are at Doggy Day care. After a hard day’s love and play, a little pampering will have them looking and feeling their best when it’s time to go home to you, their family. Grooming is subject to an additional cost.

Some common reasons pets might visit us for an emergency
If you’re unsure
If you’re unsure whether your pet needs immediate attention, don’t hesitate to call us on 02 9140 0177.
Vomiting and Diarrhoea
Nothing prompts a quick visit to the veterinary hospital like seeing your pet suffering from extended vomiting and diarrhoea. This distressing situation can arise from various causes, including dietary indiscretion, consumption of fatty or inappropriate foods, and infections.
Toxin Ingestions
Pets are naturally curious and sometimes get into harmful substances. Common toxins include grapes, chocolate, xylitol (Chewing Gum), certain plants (like lilies for Cats), human medications, rodenticides, foreign body and even an overdose of their own medication. If you suspect your pet has ingested something toxic or foreign, seek veterinary advice immediately.
Lacerations and Bite Wounds
Playful activities can sometimes lead to injuries. This is especially true in settings like dog parks or when multiple cats interact. Our veterinarians frequently address wounds and abscesses, providing necessary treatment to ensure your pet heals properly.
Motor Vehicle injury
Road accidents involving pets are sadly all too common. While some pets may only suffer minor injuries, others may face severe trauma. To prevent such accidents, always keep dogs on a lead or within a fenced area, ensure older or less agile dogs are safe, and keep cats indoors.
Urinary Tract Obstructions
Male cats are particularly susceptible to urinary tract obstructions due to the narrowness of their urinary passage. Conditions like urinary crystals or bladder stones can exacerbate the problem. If your cat shows signs of straining to urinate, frequent urination, vocalising, or excessive grooming, seek immediate veterinary care.
Difficulty Breathing
Respiratory distress in pets can be alarming and is a common reason for emergency visits. Difficulty breathing can signal serious conditions such as heart failure, pneumonia, feline asthma, or anatomical issues. Our team can provide oxygen support and appropriate treatment for these conditions.
Gastrointestinal Foreign Material
Pets can consume foreign objects that can become lodged in their digestive tract, causing vomiting and lethargy and requiring surgical removal. Commonly ingested items include toys, clothing, and bones in dogs, and strings or hair ties in cats. If your pet has ingested something they shouldn't have, consult us for guidance.
Worsening of Underlying Illness
Pets with chronic conditions like heart disease, diabetes, kidney disease, or cancer may experience acute worsening of their health, necessitating emergency treatment or critical care.
Painful, Red Eye
Eye issues in pets can range from injuries and infections to more serious conditions like glaucoma. A red and painful eye requires prompt veterinary evaluation to prevent rapid deterioration and ensure appropriate treatment.
Lameness and Difficulty Walking
Lameness in pets can stem from various issues, including muscle sprains, ligament tears, fractures, or even cancer. Our emergency veterinarians can assess your pet's condition, provide pain relief, and recommend diagnostic tests like radiographs to determine the cause.
At Rosebery Veterinary Hospital, we hope your pet never faces such emergencies. However, if they do - we are open 7 days a week and ready to provide the care your pet needs.
