Animal Emergency Contacts in the Netherlands

Emergencies can strike at any time, and finding the right contacts is not always easy. We have compiled a list of useful emergency contacts, including 24/7 animal emergency centers in all major cities in the Netherlands.

National Animal Ambulance Service (Netherlands)

While most major cities and regions have their own animal ambulance service, there is also a national one. It is always good to have this number on hand if you need to get your pet to a hospital quickly and you cannot do it yourself.
