The University Veterinary Teaching Hospital of Lausanne, part of the VetSuisse faculty — the highest level of veterinary care available in French-speaking Switzerland. Provides 24-hour emergency care, specialist services in all major disciplines, and referral consultations. EU pet passports are fully accepted. The facility is located in Épalinges, 15 minutes from the city centre by taxi or Bus 60. For complex emergencies or specialist referrals, this is the gold standard.
💡 Save the emergency number before your trip. Veterinary care in Switzerland is excellent but expensive — ensure your pet insurance covers treatment abroad before travelling.
