24/7 Vet Careline FAQs
Who operates the Careline?
The Careline is operated by the country’s most trusted veterinary helpline provider, VetsDirect Limited, they have been providing expert support and advice to pet owners for over 10 years.
Can I be referred for treatment or make a claim directly through this?
The Careline is not designed as a claims helpline. It can help to identify whether your pet requires vet treatment but cannot give any advice or help on the claims process with us, nor are we able to refer your pet for treatment. However, before you make a claim, your pet must have seen a vet for an expert assessment.
