Animal Ambulance Service
We are a type-1 APHA Critical Patient Ambulance Service.
Operated by two qualified Registered Veterinary Nurses, the first of it's kind in the UK.
Our ambulance is fully equipped and purpose-built for the safe and secure transportation of veterinary patients. This unique service, provided by qualified nurses, ensures that treatment can be administered and continued as necessary.
We develop first aid plans in collaboration with the referring veterinary surgeon to ensure appropriate action is taken if needed during transport to the referral destination.
We offer transfers from all London Veterinary practices between hospitals or referral centres, such as:
The Royal Veterinary College
The Ralph
Southfields Veterinary Specialists
** Due to the nature and demand for our service, we cannot guarantee availability at time of calling.
Please note, we do not offer owner transportation. Humans will have to make their own way to the destination point.
We act as a patient transferring agent only.
Oxygen Therapy
Our ICU is equipped with a completely self-contained oxygen concentrator, a specifically designed oxygen tent for controllable oxygen therapy and neubulising patients (where needed), as well as portable oxygen cylinders.
** Please note, oxygen therapy is administered under the instruction and direction of the referring veterinary team at pick up.
Critical Care
We have two dedicated Registered Veterinary Nurses, who monitor patient during transportation with the use of:
- Visual Monitoring for continuous monitoring throughout the journey.
- Non-Invasive Blood Pressure (NIBP)
- Blood Oxygen Levels (SpO2) -
- Temperature Monitoring and regulating (we have heat sources and cooling aids).
- Pulse Rate
- Heart Rate

IV Fluids and CRI (constant rate infusion)
As Registered Veterinary Nurses, once prescribed by the referring veterinary surgeon, we are able to offer Intravenous Fluid Therapy (IVFT) and CRIs for constant administration of an analgesic medication to help with patient comfort.
We use monitoring equipment to ensure only the correct amount of fluids are given over the correct time period.
