Support during the day, with a clear plan for going home.
Each pet's needs are different. Your vet will recommend assessment and treatment based on their individual circumstances.
Check whether day care is appropriate
The veterinarian first assesses the condition and decides whether daytime care here is suitable. Unstable patients may need an emergency or intensive-care facility.
Agree on the day's treatment plan
Depending on the case, care may include prescribed fluids, medicines, monitoring and reassessment. The exact plan is explained before admission.
Plan observation and updates
Nurses and the veterinary team provide care according to clinical instructions and staffing. Monitoring intensity varies and is not equivalent to 24-hour intensive care.
Prepare for discharge
Before collection, the team explains medicines, feeding, home observations, warning signs and the expected recheck when relevant.
Arrange after-hours care if needed
Broadway Vet does not have a continuously staffed overnight hospital. Pets needing overnight treatment or intensive monitoring may be referred to a suitable facility.
Before, during and after your visit
What day admission does—and does not—provide
Day care is for patients whose condition and treatment needs match the staff, equipment and opening hours available. It is not an intensive-care unit or a 24-hour staffed hospital.
Agree on collection and escalation arrangements
Before admission, confirm when your pet should be collected, who can approve further care, and what will happen if the team recommends urgent referral or continued observation elsewhere.
Know what to monitor after discharge
The team may provide medicine, feeding, hydration and activity instructions. Ask about possible warning signs and whom to contact outside Broadway Vet opening hours.
Services, suitability and costs differ by species and clinical circumstances. Your veterinarian will confirm a plan for your pet.
Frequently asked questions
Does Broadway Vet have staff staying overnight with hospitalised pets?
No. The clinic is not continuously staffed overnight. Pets needing round-the-clock observation or treatment may require referral to a facility offering it.
Can a very unwell pet stay in day hospital?
The vet assesses medical stability, available monitoring and treatment needs. A critically ill patient may be referred directly to emergency or intensive care.
What should I bring for a day admission?
Bring relevant medicines and history and confirm contact details, consent and collection time. Reception will advise if anything else is needed.
Understand your options before deciding
Before consenting, please ask your vet about the procedure, important risks, possible additional tests and expected charges.
