Leipzig hosts the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine of Leipzig University — one of Germany's leading vet schools, with a 24h teaching hospital that handles complex referrals and weekend emergencies.
An den Tierkliniken 11, 04103 Leipzig
Leipzig University's veterinary teaching hospital — fully staffed 24/7 emergency room and Saxony's deepest specialist coverage (oncology, cardiology, neurology, orthopaedics, exotic species).
💡 Call the emergency hotline before driving in — they triage by phone and may redirect for non-urgent cases.
Karl-Heine-Straße 27b, 04229 Leipzig
Modern day-time small-animal clinic in the Plagwitz district — general medicine, vaccinations, surgery, dentistry. After-hours calls divert to the Veterinärmedizinische Fakultät.
💡 They speak fluent English and accept walk-ins for vaccines and microchip checks before 11:00.
Schillerweg 30, 04425 Taucha
Private 24h emergency clinic 12 km north-east of the centre — full surgery, ICU, cardiology, ultrasound. Often less crowded than the university hospital for non-academic emergencies.
💡 Faster wait times than the university hospital but more expensive — useful for non-life-threatening overnight emergencies.
