Emergency Vets in Arcachon, Veterinary Clinics & Pet Care

Arcachon and the surrounding Bassin have several veterinary clinics for routine and emergency care. In Arcachon itself, the Clinique Vétérinaire Arcavet on Boulevard Deganne handles consultations and acts as the out-of-hours contact point, its answering service directs you to the on-call vet for the area. Around the bay, the larger towns of La Teste-de-Buch and Gujan-Mestras have additional clinics, including Alphavet and the Clinique de l'Hippocampe, which take part in the local emergency guard rota. For any night or weekend emergency anywhere on the Bassin, the national veterinary emergency line 3115 (free, 24/7) will connect you to the nearest on-call vet. Carry your pet's EU passport, ISO microchip details, and vaccination records when travelling; French law requires them for all cross-border pets.
