Roseworthy Veterinary Hospital
Service update for the Large Animal Hospital - 19/12/25 to 5/1/26
The Roseworthy Large Animal Hospital has made the difficult decision to close for business from 5:00pm on Friday 19th of December 2025, and re-open at 8:30am on Monday 5th of January 2026.
Over this period we won’t have our full team available, and rather than compromise the level of care we provide, we’ve chosen to pause operations until we can resume safely and at full strength. We remain committed to providing high-quality and safe equine and production animal services to our valued clients.
Prescriptions:
If you require prescription medication refills or a re-check for your animal prior to the closure, please contact the hospital as soon as possible to arrange medication or discuss future appointments.
Alternative care during this period:
If you need veterinary care while we are closed, please press here for alternative options.
We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your understanding.
If we don't see you before 19th December, we look forward to continuing care for your animals in the new year.
Please note our Small Animal Hospital will be operating 24/7 during this period.
